IKEA gets a lot of the credit for this table!

The Orange bread baskets come from my childhood home!
The bottle of sand is from Spiekeroog and island in the north sea

An oldie but a goodie!

My mother in law´s 90th birthday is coming up, so I have been going through my big box looking for pictures of her. Along the way I found this one of my Mom with her 3 daughters!

Easter Sunday in the kitchen

This year, since it was just the three of us, we had Easter Sunday Breakfast in the kitchen. I took some of my ideas from my dining room tablescape and applied them to the kitchen table. I hope you all had a great Easter Holiday---as always the days passed all too quickly!

The Chicken and Egg are Tabletop toys!! Never to young for entertainment at the dinner table

Easter M&M´s ! Thanks Kim for the special treat!

The Easter bunny brought american treats for Mike this year---lucky boy!

We even managed to color easter eggs this year!

Happy Tablescape Thursday Everyone!

Pink stands for EAster!

Yes, even at this time of the year I can find pink---this time in form of a bunny rabbit. Recently I went through my many bags of stuffed animals and decided it was time to donate. So, I made 3 piles---1. donate---2. sell--3. keep. Well, needless to say my keep pile outweighed the sell and donate pile! I did manage to get one box ready to donate to the ronald macdonald house and I got one pile of beenie babies ready to sell on e-bay. Except, I simply could not part ways with my beenie baby bears and rabbits, they are simply too cute!

Happy Pink Saturday Everyone!

Cake plates!

Not only do I bake cakes, but I have devolped an obession for cake plates...oh oh more to store away!

This is one of my favorites-a Christmas gift from my family a few years ago. Such pretty shoes!

 This is a self made one, and the idea came from blog  http://www.recyclart.org/2012/03/cake-stands/. Marchel shared the link with me and ever since I saw that my mind is full of ideas for future cake platters!

This one I found on a recent shopping trip to Poland. Just could not pass it up! Do you see the little butterfly? My thought was to bake and decorate a cake to match this platter

And then a small one under glass--just enough room for one cupcake!

Easter and bright colors!

In the past few months, I have been slightly behind in my holiday tablescapes.....and now... I am early. This past week I had a few moments and thanks to my friend Jeanne a tablescape was born. It all started when Jeanne gave me the idea for the centerpiece. What you see in the first picture is actually what I normally use for my Christmas Advent Candles, as I am sure you have seen before in my posts. So, I put away the christmas candles, the christmas green and the red ornaments and brought out the easter grass, the easter eggs and the easter chocolate and the mulit colored candles and volia.......

The yellow charger plates come from IKEA---a great steal at an euro a piece!

My flower bowls come from Mary!

This easter egg was painted by me when I was a girl scout, long long ago!

So was that brown bunny!

Aren´t these the cutest?

Have a wonderful Thursday Everyone-- be sure to stop by Between Naps on the Porch for more wonderful tablescapes.
