| Sprint has definitely SPRUNG in central Ohio, though we have a danger of frost until mid-May. For now, we're enjoying every bit of it, taking it as a GIFT. |
 |
| And....guess who's lurking around waiting with his load of eggs to hide?! (As I was taking pictures in the dining room the other day, some movement outside caught my eye... yep, that's who it was!! I looked up just in time to see his cotton tail scamper under the bushes!) |

| A few of the touches of spring around our house... my favorite Nicodemus piece--this chubby robin with a few eggs in her nest, in my Bombay chicken-wire cloche, my wrought iron tiered server, chock full of eggs and carrots (close-ups of the carrots to follow), and our resident duck couple. They are so cute; they're always together. I haven't found their nest yet. And now for my Easter tablescape...  The centerpiece is a gorgeous Fitz & Floyd bunny cake plate my SIL gave me YEARS ago, so it's the good stuff, not what's out there now, and it is beautiful. I opted for a simple Depression glass sugar bowl (I must look up the pattern!) for the flowers, because I didn't want to hide the beautiful detail on the plate.   The napkins are brand, spanking new--Easter clearance at Home Goods--and they were perfect for my Easter tablescape. What a happy find!  The napkin rings were made by my mother years ago. Perfect for this pastel table!  Here is the yellow plate...I can't decide which color I like best/which place setting I would choose. I'd like to know which one you like best: YELLOW, WHITE, BLUE, or GREEN?  Carrot place card holders, pinned by--what else? A tiny carrot clothes pin! The large carrot is from a garland I found this year at Tuesday Morning--I cut them off the garland. And the tiny clothes pins? I've had them for years. They were still in the original package because I hadn't run across a way to use them, but I fell in love with them when I first saw them, and I am sooooo happy to get to finally use them! What other ideas do you have for how to use them?   The lovely teaspoons? Another gift from my SIL--a hostess gift when I had a shower for her DIL. Lovely.  You just might recognize these darling cordials...I posted about them HERE, when my mother hosted a pre-wedding dinner party for our son and his fiancee. And now, they have a new home! She thought they'd be happy here, and I hope they're as happy as I am to have them. Perfect for my Easter table!  Our son and DIL gave me these sweet little bird s&p last year for my birthday--love them! And my mother gave me the egg years ago...perfect!  I have a confession...of my many dish addictions, sugar and creamers are right up there...so when I saw these on clearance at Home Goods a few days ago, no, they didn't jump in my cart--I GRABBED them and brought them home with me! Aren't they darling? Now, how could anyone pass them up?! Do you understand? :) And last but not least...our baby's high chair, set with what else, but Royal Doulton Bunnykins?
