Best Easter Wishes!





I just wanted to join in on some of the Easter fun that has been happening here in blogland.


Between not feeling well and camera issues, I just haven't posted much lately. Too bad, because I have oodles of Easter decor, dishes, and bunnies!


Of course I have BUNNIES...


I have a wisdom tooth that has been acting up. Yes, I am an almost 58 year old with all four wisdom teeth! That may explain my "sinus" problems this spring.  Maybe even this  darn migraine thats been hanging around for the last week! [edit: I got a dentist appointment for Tuesday morning]

My camera just froze up and Hubby's camera dosen't like me, so I haven't wanted to post any pictures lately. Please just play along and squint to focus on the "not so clear pictures".

~~~


This is the dish shelf in my dining area.


I like to change it out for the holidays.


These dishes were purchased at
Cracker Barrel a few months ago.
I just couldn't wait until
they went on sale.


I love the texture.




See how the colors and shading
match the little bunny box?




Aren't those the cutest little
bunny salt and pepper shakers.




I picked up the bunny boxes
this year at Homegoods.





The little eggs cups match the dishes.




I wish I'd waited until they were on sale.
They always do right before the holiday,
 but I was afraid not all the pieces
would still be there.




I even got a matching coffee/tea set!




Each cup has wonderful detailing
just inside the rim.


I love my little Faux Goodies.
All 100% calorie free!




The sugar cube tongs were my
mother's. I didn't polish them
because I thought they accented
the little bird nest topiary...
and yes, I'm lazy.


The little sugar cube is also faux.



I got the bird nest topiary at the GW
for 2.00. I just needed to add some
moss and ribbon.


Wow... It appears that a rare lavender
feathered bird has layed some
pretty little eggs.




The wooden Easter sign is from Ross
and the egg garland is from TJ Maxx.


I hope you all enjoyed your Easter!

Sunday Favorites and a New Dog!

Thank you to Sweet Chari for hosting Sunday Favorites. 
Please visit her over at Happy to Design.

Since Easter is just around the corner I wanted to post something that had lots of pretty Easter colors. 
I hope you all enjoy Easter!






Yummy for my Tummy???



Scrumptious looking Ice Cream
Sundaes, Brownies, Cupcakes,
Petit Fours and Chocolates!!!



All these goodies are a feast
for the eyes... not the tummies.
That's because they are not real!

My contribution to this weeks
Friday Foodie hosted by Gollum,
are beautiful Faux Food Goodies!

I know that I am cheating a
bit by not showing real food,
but that's better than actually
cheating on my diet!

~~~

Cute as cute can be
Cupcakes!

 

Don't you just want to stick your
finger into that creamy frosting!?


and...


Little "tea cakes"
or as the French say...
Petit Fours!

~~~

Frosted Brownies
to DIE for!!!


  

It's almost as if you
can "smell" them!


Boxed up and ready to go.

~~~

There's more...



Ice Cream and little
frosted sugar cookies.


and...


Cake too!!!

~~~

But there always has to be
candies... and chocolate
ones at that!!!


~~~

Even candles... for what's a
table setting without candles?



Scented Cupcake Candles


Hershey's Syrup Candle


Hershey's Jar Candle
~~~

I just LOVE all my pretty little
"Faux Goodies"

I have them all over the house,  

... and the best part is that
they never make me fat fatter!

~~~



Note: As of yesterday there is only (1)
set of Easter candies left.


The mixed Pastel and Chocolate set (top).


I am now taking special orders
for Mothers Day!


~~~

Also...


This is our newest fur baby.


His name is Buddy.

He had been waiting for me
at the animal shelter.




Buster was feeling lonely after
the recent loss of his friend.


He really missed his Weezie.
I told him I would get him a buddy.




Dear sweet Louise. 


Louise was 15 years old.






Buddy is about 1 year old and
a Lhasa Apso (?).

He loves to run and play.
He is a real sweetheart!




~~~


Now please go and visit Chari's

My Pretty Pink Valentine Surprise!




I would like to share a "Pretty in Pink" Valentine's Day tablescape and some past Valentine's Day gifts.

~~~


This little rose topped trinket box was given to me by my grandaughters many years ago.

Isn't it just precious?
What could be inside???


Oooh... a necklace from my Hubby.


It has Diamonds on both sides.


I love diamonds, don't you?



These little pink heart dishes were purchased from Ross a few years back. The cream dinner plates
are from TJ Maxx.


These yummy looking frosted brownies
100 % calorie free!  Yes they are!!!


They are faux. That is a fancy French word for false or fake. They have "frosting and whipped cream".


 See how real those chopped nuts look.
(see top of sidebar for purchase information)



Hubby gave me the most beautiful long stemmed roses a few years back that arrived in that hand painted vase.  


I love these pink glasses that I found at Tuesday Morning. The pink votive holders are from Ross.




These little sugar cubes are decorated with dainty "frosting" roses... and they are also faux. 





These pink napkins are made from some Waverley fabric remnants left over from my designer days.


The flatware is just stainless but it is trimmed in real gold and is still very pretty... although inexpensive.




I hope you have enjoyed all this pinkness as much as I have enjoyed putting it together for you!


~Optical Illusion~
Does the glass on the right look like it is upside down? Or is the one on the left? It is just an optical illusion. Turn your PC to the side (only if it is a laptop, lol) and it will appear normal.



I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!

XOXO

Since I'm not much of a cook (Hubby does that) I might be cheating just a bit... but I am joining Foodie Friday. Thank you Michael for hosting this.

I also want to share this tablescape with all the bloggers who visit Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch. Thank you Susan :)
