New Tablecloth

Untitled
Good morning!  My sister-in-law and I went to a few Estate sales this past Friday and I found this beautiful crocheted tablecloth.

Untitled
I used to have a white one that I loved, but it was too small for the new table we purchased 2 years ago.  I've been on the look-out for a replacement ever since.

Untitled
I made the centerpiece from a 3 tired tray I found at a local gift/candle shop, a few months ago.

Untitled
I lined the layers with moss and added ceramic birds, nests, eggs, and tiny pots.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Cupcakes and Roses

Untitled
Good morning! Recently, a new cupcake shop opened near our house and yesterday we stopped by. Each day they have different flavors, which I thought was a neat idea. We got Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, Coconut Cream Pie, Hunka Chunka Banana Love, Key Lime, Raspberry Buckle, Scarlett's Red Velvet, And Wedding Cake.

Untitled
I'm really picky when it comes to baked goods, so I was pleasantly surprised. I cut them all into quarters, so everyone could try a variety.

Untitled
Now we are waiting for Friday...Chocolate Salted Caramel!

Untitled
I also found these discount roses and the grocery store.

Untitled
I'll enjoy them in the kitchen for a few days and then hang them upside down to dry for a little display in my craft room.

Untitled
Thank you for stopping by!

Keeping things Cozy

Untitled
There is nothing like candle light to make home a little extra cozy...especially you are having a busy week. I'm still using up my Yankee Christmas cookie in the kitchen.

Another candle on the fireplace hearth.

Instead of candlelight, I keep my soft hutch light on in the dining room.

Hope your week is going well!

Easter Weekend

Untitled
Good morning! Can you spot the 3 sweet babies? My sister-in-law discovered a nest in our front bushes.

The kids and I drove down to Houston this past Thursday to visit my sister and her family for Easter. My parents and nephew flew in from Rhode Island and everyone had a wonderful time together. Phillip stayed home to be with Daisy and Leo and also to spend some extra time with his brother, who is visiting from California.

Now, everyone is back home and it's time to finish up the last 5 weeks of school. It's always hard when the spring weather is so nice! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend, too.
