It's Show and Tell Friday. I think this is so fun because you never know what you're going to discover. I love the uniqueness of blogging...our individual tastes, regional differences, old and new memories and sharing. Kelli is waiting for you over at There is no place like Home. I bet there's a long line!By now, you know I love Spring! I love the outdoors, the green grass, the bunnies, bulbs, azaleas, blue birds in a house (have I got a story about that). It is like my world comes alive in the Spring! Easter holds such a deep and precious meaning to me. I hope to attend a Sunrise service this year.
So, with that said, I have Spring all over my house! Here's some more highlights:
This is the top of the sideboard. The little lambs are by Raz. I told you I loved Raz! The pink Bordallo egg holder is from Marshall's.
I used these nosegays last year on my dining table but decided to move them for this year.
This little bunny has been with me for years. I have used him with candles in the baskets, greenery...just endless possibilities.
This is one of my precious keepsakes. It was Mother's and was on her coffee table forever. She loved this bowl. No one loved pink and glass like my mother!
The cross also has special memories. My mother's nieces went into together and sent a gorgeous floral arrangement to her funeral. Mother would have loved it. The cross was in the arrangement. I've used it in different place in my home since last July. It reminds me of Mother and of my sweet double first cousins who loved my mother.
In the kitchen, I have a small grouping on an oak cupboard.
From left to right, a Holland ceramic handmade cabbage soup tureen
The silver rabbit tray you saw yesterday with a jelly bean candle holder. Do you remember this? I used it with red hots in February. It has LOVE etched on the front.
On the far right are two Bordallo cabbage serving bowls.
Be back Saturday for another Pink Saturday!

It's another Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I just know this is going to be another GREAT one. I can just feel the Spring creativity in the air!
I was finally able to get to Marshall's last Saturday. Oh what fun! I always know I'm going to find something I just can't live without. I was looking for something Spring (Easter) but that's not the direction I went.
First, I spotted these placemats. I love polka dots and these are brown and white. Well, I always need 8 and Marshall's usually just has 4 of something. Not on Saturday! There were 8! Hurray!!
So I knew I would get the placemats. I have some white/beige Lenox Butler's Pantry to use on them.
HOWEVER...as I'm strolling by the dishes, I see these salad plates! Yes, they are a brown and white "type" transferware. Be still my heart. I start counting...8, yes, there are 8.
By this point, I'm almost hyperventilating. Did I mention each plate was only $1.99.
Well, my luck continued! They also had the large pitcher (2.99), a smaller pitcher ($1.99) and the tray ($3.99). Well, I just floated out of Marshall's with my treasures!
So, here's the scoop on what I put together for my Spring table:
The lavender sheer table top I used for my MIL's party over the silver cake stand. Then I put my Bordallo green cabbage platter on top of that for some green contrast.
Mr. Dumpling bought the bunny for me last year and I just adore him. He stands 23" tall and is just a stunner.
Using the polka dot placemats, I used my lavender lace chargers (JC Penney's), my green cabbage Bordallo dinner plates and my new brown plates.
I love the way the green looks like flower petals round the salad plate...see that?
The little Bordallo chicken egg cups came from Marshall's last year and the eggs were from Hobby Lobby.
Come back on Friday for Show and Tell. I've been decorating like a crazy woman and we'll do more Spring and Easter. I even have some PINK treasures for Saturday!
Happy Spring y'all!
