Hello, Spring ~ A Blog Tour
A big thank you to
Katie @ Let's Add Sprinkles
for organizing and hosting our
Hello, Spring Blog Tour!
Welcome!
It's been a roller coaster of a winter,
but I do think spring is finally here.
Bluebonnets are blooming, and . . .
The tulips have popped up
to add some vibrant color to the garden.
Bunnies can
be seen hopping about.
You'll find them in the garden . . .
Where flowers are beginning
to show their pretty faces.
Ahh . . . Springtime in Texas!
The days are perfect for lounging on the
terrace in the warm sunshine . . .
Or perhaps a
sunny spot inside the house.
Those who know me, know of my
affinity for most animals, especially bunnies.
You're sure to see these little critters tucked here and there
around the house, much like they are out in the garden.
Herend bunnies gather on the shelves
in the living room.
These cuties too!
I seem to be attracted to the charm of
these little cast iron rabbits who have followed
me home through the years.
The standing bunny top right is the most recent.
The dealer said when she found him he was attached to an inkwell.
Evidently the ink well was in sad condition, but she
knew someone like me would give this little fellow a home.
This group fits right in among some of the leafy
pieces of my vintage majolica on the living room bookshelves.
This big guy with his load of baskets sits on the shelf above.
He is very special because he once belonged to a
good friend who is no longer with us.
The petite lapin with a basket of flowers on his back
was a gift from a friend who knows I like these little metal bunnies.
He is part of a vignette on the table in the kitchen sitting room.
The bowl is full of vintage rabbit cookie cutters,
and the jaunty rabbit on the stand was painted by a local artist.
Vignettes within the Irish pine cupboard in the
kitchen sitting room include some French faience bunnies.
The wool needle punch bag that hangs
on the door was an Etsy find.
created this darling bag using a Brenda Gervais design.
The work is exquisite, and I'm impressed with design's details.
Fresh cut flowers are a treat
that we give ourselves around here.
They don't have to be hyacinths to feed our souls.
A family of black and white majolica rabbits
sit among silver containers on the Welsh dresser in the dining room.
Last year I scrambled to get Easter things
out soon after Valentines Day.
You can see a complete post on my 2016 Easter table here.
This spring, with Easter still a month away,
I'm not yet ready to pull out the Easter decor.
A single vase of flowers is all that is on the table for now.
Over on the sideboard is a Courtly Check vignette
that hints of what's to come in April.
When I spotted this darling little chick in the
MacKenzie-Childs spring catalog, it was love at first sight.
I just knew the little chick would make a perfect
companion to the wonderful Courtly Check rabbit that
my "personal shoppers" found for me at the
MacKenzie-Childs' Barn Sale last summer.
Thank you, Debbie and Patti!
See these adorable little chicks?
They are one of a kind, painted for me by the talented
Patti @ Pandora's Box.
I'll soon share more about Easter touches
around the house in an upcoming post, so please come back soon.
