~EASTER, EASTER, GLORIOUS EASTER~

I am joining our Marty @ A STROLL THRU LIFE for TABLETOP TUESDAY. This is such an

easy one for me. I love it. Thanks for hosting this fun activity for us, Marty.

This is my old hutch. I am enjoying it so much. I missed it. This old hutched housed my little girls ribbon drawer long before I ever thought I would have real silverware to put in it. All you see on the top of this hutch were gifts from my daughter Maryalice over the years. She bought me this tea set a few pieces at a time.

The old Beatrix Potter books you see are tattered and torn and inside there is my youngest daughters attempts to write her name. They are well read...and well used. We keep our boo

These adorable floral cookies and butterfly were baked by daughter Maryalice. She brought them to me today..all boxed and tied with a lovely bow. Daughters! They do make you smile don't they?

The lovely white napkins I found at a garage sale...I bought 26 of them for $5.00. The beautiful place mats, four of them, I bought this saturday for 50 cents. They are cut through and beautifully made. See Spring on my little dish? Yeppers! I ..am..in..the ...mood.

Sigh...the picture turned out way too dark and I should take it over but..what the heck. I am sure you have probably seen a tea set like this one before. Brambly Hedge! Sooo cu

The sparkles didn't show up on camera. Sweet husband scarfed this BIG cookie down! There went our so called "diet" for today! Ah well. later. The little white dish is part of my milk glass collection inspired by Mary @ Little Red House. The table cloth is hand crocheted...a find on ebay. "Mona Two" is the name of the seller. Imagine that! How could I help but buy something from someone with a name like that! Right? :)

Daisy cookies! Sooo delicious! This is the Summer plate. See?

Oh...well...this is Jeremy Fisher naturally. I LOVE this character. I also have a BIG stuffed Jeremy on the guest room bed. And....the video! Loved the scene when the HUGE fish took his minnow bait! Nearly killed poor Jeremy.

Yep...this is the sugar and creamer...LOVE IT! You know, I think it's the colors as well as the sweet artwork that gets me.

Such sweet cups and saucers...the other two are, of course, Winter and Autumn. Ah yes, Autumn.... :)

Fuzzy chickie...uh huh... :)

And more bunnies with roses (sorta) painted yours truely...

Thank you Maryalice darling girl! Mom loves you! These are beautiful. I wish the sparkly centers showed up better...I love them. Thank you!

Spoon is from...MY PRELUDE SILVERWARE SET. We are keeping it in a friends safe now. Thought it might be a good idea.

Well, I made some changes to the dining room table. I took the little fence away..it was just a bit too much though it was cute. I added large cabbage leaves under the Easter Basket and I like it much better. As serious as Easter is...and as glorious...it is so much fun to have the whimsy added in...Tradition is good. Tradition binds us together...something we share. God would approve, I know He would. I know He wants us to enjoy this beautiful life He has given us as much as we can.

That being said...have a beautiful week. Enjoy what you can and what you cannot...give it over to God.

Love to all,

Mona
