Easter Bunnies At Our Nest

I am linking up with My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday. You should pop over and see all the fun stuff she has on her blog. I am doing a little decorating for Easter.
I love the chocolate bunnies, they look like you could just eat them.


A cute little rabbit in her nest.




The two little rabbits below are my favorite, they are so whimsical.

Happy Friday!

White Wednesday




I am joining Faded Charm's White Wednesday.

I am sharing something so special to me, is the only thing I have ever asked my mom for. This was my grandmother's bench. It sat just inside her back door and a butter churn sat beside it. I remember her sitting there churning butter.



When she passed away, my mom got this bench. I told her how much I love the bench and if she ever wanted to part with it I would love it. Several years later she just up and said "I want you to take the bench home with you". I was thrilled.


I am so happy to have this sitting in my kitchen. It is probably one of the things I am most proud of. Maybe it is because of the memories I have associated with it.


I love the details on it and am so thankful my mom passed it onto me.

Pink Roses

I think the flowers all over East Texas are more beautiful this year than I have ever seen. I have tried to grow roses for years, I do not have a green thumb. With persistence I have finally been able to have some pretty pink roses.


It just amazes me every time I see how beautiful roses are. I wish you could smell the sweet fragrance. Only God could have created such a beautiful flower.

I love pink roses.

Hope your Monday is a happy one.

Hope you are all having a great Saturday. The weather is beautiful in East Texas, I am taking advantage of every minute of it.

Girls Just Gotta Have Bling

This cute little red chandelier is hanging above my kitchen sink. It just makes me happy when I am in the kitchen. It is the only three arm chandelier I have. I have picked them up mostly at Canton and Craig's list. I have spent $50.00 and less on each one. All were gold and pretty, but I really like them white . ... and red This is only one I have added shades to, I like way it turned out. I ended up spending more on the shade than I did on the chandelier.

This one is over my dinning room table.



I have this one in a guest bed room.





I have this one in my other guest bedroom.


This is the only one I have that is not an original.

This one is kinda different, it has glass tubing, and is all crystal and glass.



I found it on Craig's list in Houston, called and asked my sweet daughter to go and pick it up. I feel terrible because it was not in a great area, but the lady she got it from was nice.




I have this one beside my bed.


The crystals are so pretty, they look like cut glass.




This is my favorite little chandelier. I love it hanging on the old bird cage holder.

Happy White Wednesday

Happy White Wednesday. I am sharing this beautiful white mirror. My mom gave it to me. She got it out of my grandmother's house several years ago. At that time I was not using the shabby chic cottage look. What was I thinking???? I could not love it more now. The picture and edge of the mirror really shows up much better without a flash.




The candle holder came from my grandmother's barn. The old chippy look is perfect for me.




The edges of the mirror are so pretty.
