The center of Attention

The bunnies are center stage for our Spring Table.  A creamy white Lace cloth was first added to the table.  Layers of bunnies, flowers, napkin rings, candles and egg salt and pepper shakers complete the vignette.  They are gracefully awaiting dining on carrotts and lettuce.






Thanks for taking a peek at my Spring table top.  I am joining a Stoll thru Life with this post! 


A Honey Bunny Spring Tea

Bunnies, spring, and Tea.  They all seem to go together!  I love the whimsical bunnies.  I trust they will bring a smile to your face.  I don't believe it is any accident there are so many new little lives that are born in the spring.  Bunnies, kitties, puppies, baby chickens, and children all so sweet, cuddly, and innocent.  Celebrating spring with tea, strawberries, and animal crackers (Fitting for a bunny tea) for a little refreshment are an afternoon delight!  Please join me in this celebration of new life. 







Tea would not be complete without a teapot.  I have had this bunny teapot for many years, and it fits right in with this celebration.  I read something the other day that each day of our lives we should make it a  celebration.


I found the sweet little cross stitch napkins at my favorite thrift store, the only dissapointment was there were not more of them.  The backdrop for the tea party is a hand painted vintage suitcase.  I have also had it now for several years. 






The teacup I have chosen goes with a set of dishes, which also remind me of spring and newness of life!  Happy Celebrating!!

Pink Spring Memory Makers

I have been thinking a lot about the memories I am leaving for my children and grandchildren.  I want to create memory makers for them as often as I can.
1. I want to leave the legacy of a praying mother and grandmother.
2. Tea Parties, especially for the little girls, although I have found out little boys like them also.
3. Live out my faith every day.
4. Journal-A blog is a great way to journal, but there is also nothing like the written word.
5. Use my gifts and talents for my family and friends.
6. Whatever my gifts are, use them and JUST DO IT!
7. Just Simply BE THERE for my friends and family when they need me.
8. Preserve my own family story in words and pictures.
9. Record my life story, include hopes, aspirations, and dreams for myself and my family.
10. Nurture a family tradition or start a new one!



Blessings to you as you start your own Family memories!
