Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you and yours. I hope that you find all the eggs Mr. Bunny left and that he left you a basket full of chocolates and sweet wishes.

Happy Spring, Friends...

These little ladies are wishing all my friends a happy and bright Spring day. It is the first day of Spring, and you thought it would never get here! It's here and the sun is shining and I saw my first robins today. I feel so good. I hope you are feeling the same way and out looking for those messengers of Spring, the lovely robins. Get yourself out side and look for them. It will brighten your day and your spirits. Enjoy the first day of Spring, friends.

Speaking of reading.....

for which I have a passion for, I will read just about anything. Of course, I have read all the Harry Potter books, and the Golden Compass books, oh don't groan, you know that the BOOKS are always better than the MOVIES. It's a reading chair, with all the books around you in the little shelf thingys!!! The picture is from this Sunday's Chicago Tribune magazine. And costs a staggering $4,800, well, I can dream. Of course, when I showed my DH he said it looked uncomfortable, yeah right, if it was a chair for dvds, it would be just right. I think Goldilocks said that.

Chicks and Frogs come with Spring

This silly pair just tickle my fancy. All dressed up and stuffed in their sparkly baskets. I was cleaning out a drawer and came across the Josephine and Napoleon buttons, my goodness, I haven't seen those buttons in ages. I confess that a long time ago, I read a novel which I believe was called Desiree, a story about a young woman on the island of Alba that same time as Napoleon, he was exiled there. It was an enchanting story and so started my love of all things Napoleon and French. My Mom and sister found those buttons for me and knew that I would love them. I do. When I found them and was putting out my chick and frog, I decided to name them with the buttons. Serendipity: the gift of being able to make delightful discoveries by pure accident. I wish this happens to you each and every day.

And with the Spring.....

the bunnies come. Isn't she cute?? I think so, I have had her for some time now. Her beaded skirt is turning a bit dark. Bunnies never show their age so she is out and about telling everyone that Spring is on its way with all the promise it brings. Of course, she is always telling us that Easter is coming early this year.

Happy Spring

I am looking out my window and the sun is shining and I know that Spring is in the air. Spring arrives in 4 days, only 4 glorious days until we can put winter behind us (where it belongs!!) and I am so happy about that. These blooms are of the silk variety but add a bit of color to my home and life.
