Easter Cubbies

I almost forgot to share my cubbies in their Easter Finery!  
Lots of bunnies but a few other fun items here and there  
Green, Pink and White color palate is inspired by the Franciscan Desert Rose basket.
A Easter card from my friend Deb is a perfect addition to this side vignette.
A closer look....
Bunnies everywhere
Salt and Pepper shakers make cute additions to the cubbies
Hear no Evil 
and Speak no Evil bunnies
were found at a thrift store for .50 ea
See no Evil was no where to be found
I love this green rabbit plate and use it every year!

This small vignette on the desk features the sweet Peter Rabbit cup and saucer found at the thrift shop

I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend and I wish you many Easter blessings!

Let's Dish ~ Easter

This table was inspired by these guys!
I found these rabbits at a thrift store a few years ago (.80 each) and fell in love with them.  I think they are perfect for a simple Easter table!
Lots of pink this year!
 I started with a dusty rose colored Fiesta plate, added a blue plate and then a cute pink polka dot salad plate.
A small milk glass bowl holds a pink plastic egg that will hold some Easter candy as a treat!
The napkins are the newest additions to my stash and were .25 ea at a thrift shop
I used my sweet little rabbit napkin rings
also .25 cents each bought at yard sales
The plate stack picks up the colors of the napkins
Centered on a pale pink place mat with white flat ware this place setting is ready for the food!
I love these wine flutes....I have found two at different thrift shops for under $1 each
When something is this pretty I will sometimes buy it when I only see one and this time I am so glad I did as I found a 2nd flute!

** Edited to add that the flutes are from Pierrier-Jouet Fleur de Champagne and come in special sets with their champagne....Thanks to Marlis for the information** 
The hot pink placemat was .99 at Bed, Bath & Beyond...I added some faux flowers to a milkglass vase and voila....a center piece!
We will be having Ham, cheesy potatoes and green beans on Sunday.  I want something yummy for dessert but haven't decided what yet!
I love pink and blue together
Wishing you a wonderful Easter!

Happy Birthday Tiger!

I cannot believe it has been almost a year since Tiger was born on April 7th!  Most of Sara and Blake's extended family lives down in SoGA so to include more of them in this celebration, they held his party on Sunday April 1st in Camilla, GA
Tiger's cute cowboy onesie! 
He was a little shy at first with all those people there but soon got into the swing of things!
Lots of hand clapping!

As you can tell Sara choose a cowboy theme
Chips, trail mix, fruit platter and plates and napkins on this table
Hot dogs and chili on another table!
Tiger loves to eat and loved these fresh strawberries! 
~Yummy~
After eating a little play time while the adults finished their lunch
This cowboy hat lasted about two seconds!
Playing with some of his cousins
Sara brought out the cupcakes! 
White cake with cream cheese frosting
She had the cute cowboy cupcake toppers we had made and used a T for Tiger on the rest
Tiger's Special Cupcake
Daddy lighting the candle
Tiger says what's this??
Just out of reach while we sing
Happy Birthday
His little face glowed!
Hmmmmm what's this?
Is it something to eat?
Not sure??
First bite.....yum!
Dig in! This is good and sweet!
Every time Tiger would take a bite we would all clap and he got such a kick out of that and he would clap along with us!
Our Happy Little Buckaroo!
We tried again with that hat! Look at the cake all over him.  Sara picked white cake for a good reason!
After a little clean up, time for the presents!
Lots of Books!
Toys, clothes and diapers!

It was a wonderful party.  So much love and happiness!  Sara and Blake did a great job!
We had a little display of some photos of Tiger from birth thru 11 months old!  So much fun to see how he has grown!
Lots of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins!
Tiger has 4 Grandma's & Grandpa's, 2 Great Grandpa's and 4 Great Grandma's
all but one was there to celebrate.  My Mother lives in Texas and was not able to attend.
This is Great Grandma Rentz (Sara's Dads Mom)
She made Tiger a special quilt! 

It was such a lovely time!  Sara had a photographer friend taking photos and I hope to share some of those when we get them! 
For me the trip was
Lodging for two nights....$110
Roundtrip Gas................$ 75
Being there to share Tiger's 1st Birthday.....
PRICELESS!

If you are still here after all these photos
Thank you!
