So, the bunny in the basket is a Fitz and Floyd which I added this year. I had several more chocolate bunnies...but they are no where to be found. IF they turn up...IF...I will put them....oh....somewhere...who knows...
The basket is an old one I have had for years and spray painted white last year..so no work there. I left my little garage sale pitcher with the green bunny on it ...and added another vase.
The brambles around the basket are an old wreath that has fallen apart but I can't seem to throw it away.
And my gosh, that spanish moss that I bought at Michaels made the biggest mess! But, you know us, if it's pretty we'll get around anything. :)
The white milk glass vase was here when I arrived...way high in a cupboard...I finally pulled it out, gave it a bath and used it. It's lovely.
That little fence I found at a Hallmark store about thirty years ago. The store closed and that was one of their props in the window. I have since seen others.
I found this lovely crocheted tablecloth on ebay. The seller was Monatwo. I have been buying from her for a very long time. Now and then she gets something in that is just beautiful..and for some reason no bid against me for this tablecloth.
Michael's had these darling eggs all colored and ready to go. And they came in a couple different sizes. Don't you love it when you find just what you are looking for? :)
The flowers were also from Michaels and some I had..
I have to tell you about the ribbons. I had a pink satin ribbon..and knew that somewhere there was a roll of soft moss green. The search finally turned it up...and unrolled it and then...I cut it in the wrong blasted place, which left a piece of ribbon stuck to the roll. NO more green ribbon.
So I took the part off the roll, remove that piece of tape and stitched the ribbon together. Now both ribbons were the same length. You can't see the patched part...I mean...can you???
I want to thank all of you that made such nice comments on my...um...roses. I have all sorts of idea's for some things I want to paint...good or not...you have created a monster! :)
(Now I am all conceited! )
It's kind of like that show..."SO YOU THINK YOU CAN SING?" or "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?" Well, this is called "SO..YOU THINK YOU CAN PAINT?"
LOL, oh LOL, LOL!
Hugs and thank you! :)

Love your Easter centerpiece, Mona. Your ribbon mend made me laugh. I'm pretty good at cutting in the wrong place. Measure once, cut twice.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile.
Hope you have a great week. Happy Spring!
Hugs,
Laura
I love it Mona! The white ceramic bunnies, the little fence, the beautiful vases and arrangements. It just makes me smile, lovely as can be!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Beautiful center piece...I ate my chocolate bunnies.
ReplyDeleteMona,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a peach. I love visiting you because you are so real and down to earth,
nothing phonie about you my dear, you are the real deal. Love that.
I also think that your Easter centerpiece is very pretty. You put a great deal of thought and creativity in putting it together.
hugs
Sissie
Mornin', Mona...love your pretty centerpiece. I seldom do a centerpiece, as such...usually just a bunny and a pot of flowers..I am getting so lazy in my olden age!! :)
ReplyDeleteAWWW, Sweetpea!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just the bunny's ears!! All that time and careful arranging, and everything turned out just Charming!!
I still haven't get anything arranged for Easter---I can see two little egg-boxes on top of the fridge, that DD bought for Chris, cause he just LOVES marshmallow eggs. Hope they don't melt. And I bought a pale green ceramic basket yesterday, a tiny, heavy one, just the shade of green I'd paint every room in the house if I could get around to it.
And don't we ALL have something that's always messy? I think maybe everybody who ever set foot in Michael's has a crinkly old bag of clumpy, dried moss that we take out year after year and make the best of it. And next year we open the crate and say, "Why, I thought I threw that stuff AWAY!!"
I JUST LOVE your creative energy and all the lovelies you make!!

What a nice easter table!
ReplyDeleteBunnies aren´t that big here. Here it´s chickens, hens and roosters that are the easter symbols. In a way cats too since they always are around witches and witches really are easter here :-)
Take care!
Christer.
Very nice display! I think it's pretty!
