Easter Week

I made these little chicks over the weekend. 

They are small and cute. 

I found the pattern HERE.

Cute vintage card with bunny cookie cutter found at a garage sale. 

This is how my dining room table looks until I set it for Easter dinner.All pieces made by my Aunt Ruth.

Here is is ready for Sunday. I will point out everything I got and from where. You'll be amazed.

Table cloth-the only thing purchased from an antique store. I couldn't pass it up with that pretty applique and hand embroidery. It's layered over a white and pink cloth that was from a garage sale.

Pink plate found on Craigs list-she threw in 2 extras. Silverware-from my Mom.

These cottage plates-found at a garage sale. I had seen them the day before at an antique store with the tablecloth. Of course I had to go back for the tablecloth.

Napkins and duck napkin holders, thrift store. Small pink plates, Goodwill.

Salt and pepper, silver candy dish-thrift store. Candleholders-made by my Aunt Ruth.

Wine glasses-thrift store-I only had 3 for the longest time and finally found the 4th.

You can see I didn't spend much money to get a pretty Easter table. I love the hunt and waiting game to find the right stuff. We're having our usual ham, asparagus, potatoes au gratin, carrot salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It never changes. I love making and eating this meal.

Joining Tweak it Tuesday. I definitely tweaked that tablescape. Check out more ideas HERE. I hope you have a wonderful Easter week.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

I had this sitting on my desk forever and finally finished him. I got the vintage teacup at the thrift store.

I thought it needed a little garden and Easter bunny . I used the prettiest vintage pink and gray rick rack on the edge.

I only finished one wreath. Oh well-there's always next year.

Here's some of my Easter decorations.

The back drop is a page from a vintage Peter Rabbit book.

I found this cute felt couple at an antique store a few years ago. I want to recreate the pattern. 

Look at her cute little purse. Mr. Mouse is giving Mrs. Rabbit a posy. 

I'll share the rest of my decor next week. The weather has been so nice here. I hope it stays. I've been doing a little spring cleaning and finishing income taxes. I know -I was doing that 2 weeks ago. Have a nice weekend-and get rid of the snow.

More Easter

Here are the rest of my Easter decor pic's. The giant vintage Mrs. Chick came from a garage sale years ago from a teacher. I got a bunch of bulletin board stuff.The little felt chick baby shoes are from Old Navy via the thrift store.
I love the pink Happy Easter Daddy card. It's one of my faves.
I'm a little late to the Easter party, but at least I made it this year.
Love your comments and I love checking out you guys in Blogland. So many creative people out there. Have a wonderful weekend!

Easter Parade

I finally got out the Easter stuff. I didn't get to decorate last year, cuz of the move. These bunnies and egg were made by my Aunt Ruth. If you've followed this blog-you know she loved to put long eyelashes on any animal she painted. Check out the lashes! I love how the bunnies go with the thrifted tablecloth.
I did a mini end- tablescape using orange, yellow and pink. I have more fun going into my vintage linen stash and pulling out stuff to use. The felt Mrs. Bunny and Mr. Mouse were bought at a shop in Arkansas, I could not pass them up!
I still need to find one more fire king cup and saucer that has a different pattern. Love the way they stack-the colors are so springy.

Had to show you my pillows from a few years ago. I love working in 1 color-no thinking.
I have more to share-I'll add them hopefully by the end of the week. At least I made it before Easter! Have a good week.
