The Easter Table

Getting the table set for an occasion is so much fun! The bunny napkins added a little interest and I thought I would assign those to the two men dining and the three women would be greeted with napkin roses...well my husband didn't know what the rose was and my Mom thought it was supposed to be a cinnamon roll...so I failed in the rose department (maybe a different color would have helped).

I love getting out the beautiful hand appliqued tablecloth, presented to me by my mother, that just announces spring with the perfect colors. The little goody bags are just waiting for the person/persons who gave up sweets for Lent! So, when is the next gathering??? Could it be the cheesecake challenge?

Easter Decor'

It is always enjoyable to dress up the house for spring and Easter and as you can see the shelf above the door that leads to the deck is perfect for such.

This year I chose to display some faux spring flowers along with some star pillows that I created from wool felt. There are three pillows on display although they are not all visible in this particular photo. One star is done on white wool felt with pink tulips that are blanket-stitched on, while another pillow is done on pink wool felt with an adorable chick also blanket stitched on. The third pillow, that you are not able to see is done on a green wool felt with a bunny rabbit stitched on.

As my husband would share, there are four large "bins" full of spring-related "things"! To me they are treasures, much like everything in HIS BARN (HIS RULES, you know). And speaking of treasures, I count him as a very special one!
