Last Wednesday I had dinner with a
group of girlfriends at my friend, Susan's.
Susan loves holidays and always
has her home beautifully decorated
for every special occasion throughout the year.
Among her treasures are many
hand stitched needlepoint figures.
Susan sets a gorgeous table
and creates the most adorable centerpieces.
This year's centerpiece included
fresh yellow daffodils, a large paper maché bunny,
glitter eggs, and cute little bunnies dressed for spring.
Each place setting featured a white linen placemat
and details in shades of green and pink.
The bunny plates are in the Provence pattern
produced by The Haldon Group many years ago.
Look at these adorable white linen napkins
with the eyelash embroidery details.
They make me think of a spring meadow.
It is tradition for this group of friends,
that each of us brings a small gift or
favor for the holiday celebrated.
I decided to make my gifts this year
when I saw this adorable tussie mussie that
folk artist, Johanna Parker, recently shared
as a free downloadable pattern
of one of her original designs.
