~ A QUICK POST ~

Hi everybody! I'm so excited to take a moment from my blogging break to show you this..... I won the giveaway my friend Becky @ http://fly4luv.blogspot.com/ had .... she is a flight attendant & is cute as a bug...check out her blog...it's always a fun read!

*

Look how cute she wrapped things up....I love the toile & lime green papers!

*
She wrote the sweetest note & included it with these "grilling" goodies...

*

Aren't these CIRCLE kabobs the coolest things?...and those kitchen towels are perfect for my kitchen!

*

I couldn't wait to try out the grilling basket...so with some veggies I had on hand, I filled it up....

*

To the grill...

*

While Mr. Bo cooked, a visitor came by....the smell was irresistible...

*

Ummmm, looks like it's ready to eat...I had cooked a brisket in a crockpot all day...so our meal was complete. Thank you so MUCH Becky! I know we'll be enjoying grilling a lot...kabobs are next!

*

I am still on bloggy break for a little longer...Mr. Bo has been down with pneumonia, we had a plumbing problem (stoppage at 70'), gardening to do & a visit for me to the dentist today....AND....

This will be installed TODAY in our den...Yippee!!!

I want you all to know I have missed you so much and your sweet comments have meant the world to me....I hope to be back to regular blogging very soon!

~ A CASUAL EASTER TABLESCAPE ~

Welcome to the 33rd TABLESCAPE THURSDAY hosted by Susan @ BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH

Her tablescapes are FAMOUS here in Blogland...be sure & visit her beautiful blog to see all of this week's entries... Thank you Susan for this concept & being our hostess....

*

Here I have a casual table using the bunny & cart centerpiece I used earlier on my coffee table. He was purchased at an estate sale...
*
Here's a better view. The lady who's estate sale he was bought from actually made him. She had a ceramics shop...
*
The square chargers were a thrift store find...a blue one ...

*

A fuschia one

*

A green one...and oopsie, I forgot the lilac one...

*

I thought these little square rabbit plates were cute...found 4 of them at Ross...

*

The dinner plates are a white embossed fruit pattern...

*

The salt & pepper shakers are another Ross find... I ♥ Ross!

*

The little bunny egg holders usually have chocolate candy eggs for the guests...

*

The stemmed goblet is a lilac color...a thrift find several years ago...I actually have 12 of these...

*

Finally, I adore these pewter looking bunny napkin rings...found these last year at Garden Ridge...

Thanks for your visit today. Wishing you all a blessed Easter with your families & friends...

~ SOME BUNNY LOVES YOU~ or ~DO I LOVE SOME BUNNY? ~

Welcome to my front door...and please come on in...& meet more of my bunnies..

*

I loved this French lop-eared couple I got at Ross this year...& do you see their baby bunny all tuckered out from the egg hiding?....
*
Mrs. Bunny has on her best Easter dress...
*
Mr. Bunny looks dapper in his Easter suit... They are about 2' tall...
*
And this faux chocolate bunny is 20" tall...also found him at Ross..
at his feet are some of the Big Lot bunnies...
*
Then I did another vignette with another wooden rabbit & a rabbit cookie jar..
did you notice one of the little bunnies nibbling on my tulips?
*
Here are my Easter birdies inside their cloches
*
For a closer look, here's my hummingbird (don't know why the pic is so large)
*
And another LARGE pic of a birdie on a nest...

*

And ditto....in an apothecary jar....

*

This trio of bunnies are in a bed of ivy with gardenia lights...maybe you can see the lights reflecting on the coffee table...

*

Finally, these bunnies lounge on the pass through window ledge to my kitchen year around...

Thanks so much for taking time to visit & I want to wish you & yours a very
HAPPY EASTER!

My First BLUE MONDAY

Welcome to BLUE MONDAY

hosted by http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/

I didn't think I had anything to post because I don't have any blue decor...

*

So I saw this fun "faux" bunny with its pretty blue eyes & I suddenly remembered....

*
One of my bathrooms is as blue as it gets...duh!
It is hard to photograph because it's small with a dressing area outside of the necessary room....LOL

*
So here is the lavatory/vanity

*
What the heck...look at that...a bunny in the photo...

*

And here he is again...on the throne...

*

Can you believe I forgot I had a BLUE bathroom? I still haven't gotten motivated enough to change out the wallpaper in the dressing area...(sigh)
I know you'll have lots of pretty BLUES to see when you go to Sally's blog!

Thanks so much for your visit!
