Shabby Easter Table and egg coloring fun!

Hey friends.

Are you all ready for Easter?

I have the stuff all ready for my grand-daughter, sent the other grand-daughter her goodies in the mail and I have a table set but that is about it.

I am calling this my shabby Easter table because well... it is a bit shabby! hehe.

I made napkin rings out of green burlap and added green rick-rac to some napkins I already owned.

I purchased the Momma bunny with carrots at Hobby Lobby.

The basket was also from there.

I made the centerpiece with things I already had from previous Easter's.

I made the green burlap runner and just added a ruffle from fabric scraps.

I am loving the green burlap!

And I have yellow too.

Those plastic bunny and chick plates are from Michael's a few years back.  My grand-daughter loves them and I think they add a bit of whimsy to my shabby table.

When I first took pictures that bunny candy dish was full!

Now look at it.

Easter candy is my downfall for sure.

I had to scrunch up the runner a bit but it will be the perfect length when I add another leave for our Easter table.

Addison and I colored Easter eggs yesterday.

She was so proud!

It's a bit messy with a 2 year old but oh so fun!

She was so proud she wanted to show Lily our kitty her creations!

I left the room for a minute, came back and she had pealed her egg and was eating it!

Ha...she has never cared for hard boiled eggs.

I guess it helps when you make them yourself.

There is still a lot of snow out there as you can see.

I guess we will be doing an indoor Easter Egg hunt around here.

We are going to see about 50 degrees tomorrow which sounds like a heat wave right now.

To all of you have a blessed and happy Easter.

Between Naps on the Porch

Spring Fever is biting me in the behind!

While most of the country seems to be warming up we seem to be caught in perpetual winter here in the upper Midwest.  Spring fever has got me bad and I am starting to feel a bit cranky.

So I will dream about pretty flowers that I hope are hiding under all that snow. (well perennials anyway_)

I will dream about sitting out on my front porch surrounded by flowers, flowering hydrangea  and a cool summer drink.

I am looking forward to taking a trip to some of our farmer's markets.

The one shown here in Madison, Wisconsin is one of the best in the country.

And lilacs, oh don't get me started!

I have a love affair with lilacs!  And when they are in bloom I fill my house and every vase I own with their beauty.

And instead of seeing piles and piles of white stuff, I am looking forward to this view instead.  It actually snowed again a little today and yesterday and the day before.

And as I write this, it is snowing again right now.

Come on southerly winds please head up our way!

And simple spring time tables.

I am looking forward to setting table's like this.

In the mean time, I will just have to pretend that it's Spring inside my house.

And right now it's taking a lot of imagination to do that.
