So..you see..it isn't my fault. It's a little voice in my head that says "hit those garage sales on Saturday...
These beautiful Easter eggs are handpainted and I have collected them over five years. There are more but these just fit in this little Westmoreland gravy boat.
A long time ago I found this pink bunny plate at a garage sale and snatched it up! Later I learned I had a really nice item and decided to try to find more. This Saturday I found the teapot. It is a tiny bit crazed..but I like that. The creamer...EBAY!! :) CHEAP!! (no..wait..I am supposed to say "inexpensive"..but hey it's Eastertime..so CHEEP!! :)
I found this little house and church at Pier1 Imports. I thought they were SO cute. See the tiny little bunny on the front porch?? The itty baskets were $3.00.
A cherry pillow. It followed me home! What could I do.
Hi Mona... I used to have that same bunny set of plates/teapot... but in green. I think I sold mine in a yard sale because I can't locate them... *sighs...

ReplyDeleteMona, I adore the pillow! I've always had a thing for a "cherry" print. Your Easter decorations are so cute...gotta love the little church and house. You've got a good eye there woman! hUGS, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteMona Loves Pretties
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend Mona has such a way
Of finding the bargains on EBay.
She goes to sales and loves to shop,
Till she's very tired and ready to drop.
We hope she finds so many more...
Her blog is fun like a "Mona" store.
She loves those pretties.. yes she does..
We hope we see more just because..
We think we can see the delight in her eyes...
When she finds so many wonderful buys.
So keep up the good work my dear blogging friend..
We'll be here enjoying till the very end.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment. (I never thought of myself as a decorator and have a lot to learn before being a pro. I just do what I like and it is always evolving)
Easter Blessings, Candy
Hi Mona,
ReplyDeleteI love those pretty eggs, they look like candy! Of course that pillow is adorable! Hope you have a great day :)
Hugs,
Dena
Thank you for your sweet comments. I love garage sales but they aren't so great here. You found some wonderful finds. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I love yours. You seem to find the best stuff at yard sales. Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeleteGina
Oh, I love all the pieces, especially the little house, church, handpainted eggs and - - - well, I just LOVE it all. I love to thrift shop too, and your finds are gorgeous. Thanks for stopping by my Easter table and leaving such gracious comments. I really appreciate it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Mona!! Oh, I love those pretty eggs and I have a green tea pot like your pink one! I want a pink one now! The pillow is just darling! And bunnies!
ReplyDeleteOh, I must tell you how you and your daughter have inspired me by showing my her house! I went to Amazon.com and ordered 3 of Emilie Barnes' books. I got the first one yesterday "Welcome Home" showing the house. If I had my pick of Emily's way or MaryAlice's way - guess which one I'd pick! MaryAlice! I love it that they painted the dark woods white!
Oh, I'm having fun!!
Happy Easter, my friend.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi Di...Well, I cannot tell you how many things I have sold and then been sorry later! I KNOW what you mean!
ReplyDeleteNancy...You have a wonderful Easter too. Yep..the little sleeping angel made me smile and it was a definite deal..
Kathleen..I am so glad you like my cherry pillow. I bought a small set of everyday cherry dishes that were cheap and..I like them..but the red on the edges is broken up for some odd reason..ebay..so..here they stay! :)
Balisha...LOL I just LOVED my poem. I shall keep it. NO one except Patrick has written me a poem. I do have to say..when you said you would be here with me and my shopping to the end, it gave me a moments pause :) and...well...I thought..oooooww..I better be ..careful! :) Thanks, Balisha! It is so cute! I am honored!!
Annie...Glad you like the pink bunnies...so do I! :)
Cat...Ohhh...what a sweet thing to say. :) I appreciate that so much!!
Michelle...yeah... :) it works every time! :)
Christer...A woman, an artist paints them on ebay. I have been following her for about 6 years now..and love her tiny roses. Her painting just gets better and better. If I can get something from an artist that does origianl work...I am always delighted and will usually follow and buy from them. I am so glad you liked them.
Julie...OH..me too!! :)
Allidink...:) You just plain make me smile every time you visit. Thanks so much for the tip.
Patti Cakes..sweet friend...of course I was helpless...I tried to get away..but have you EVER in your LIFE seen how fast pillows can RUN??? Glad you like my bunny teapot.
Kathleen Ellis... :) I am so glad you liked those hand painted eggs. There is only one of each and I have been collecting for a long time.
I hopped back..and YES...LOVED your Easter tablescape!! JUST LOVELY!
Candy! Thank you so much for stopping by..and pro or not...you SHOULD BE!!! :)

Painters Place...thanks so much..Your blog was a joy to visit. Thank you so much for stopping by.. :)
Marty39...I enjoyed my visit to you very much. I don't get around as much as I should..and I had a wonderful time doing it. I love meeting new people and you are such a gracious lady! :)
Shelia... You didn't!! :) You bought the book? Oh, Mary will be delighted and of course Emilie Barnes won't complain!! :) Emilie used a lot of toys in her decor too..so..I love Emilie's way. Mary is still working on getting it together..more in detailing rather than the furnishings right now...and her GIANT dog is giving her fits. LOL
Hugs to all who wrote and visited me! I am so very greatful!!
A wonderful Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Your comments were all so kind and I appreciate that.
Love and smiles~
Mona
