Easter Brunch

I'm cheating today.
I didn't have anything ready for Seasonal Sunday .

While I was recycling magazines and catalogs,
I came across the Pottery Barn catalog.
I'm sure I saved it because I loved the cover vignette
of the bunnies.

Last night I even checked to see if anything from 
Pottery Barn's Easter Brunch
was on sale and still available online.

The only thing I found 
was the little bunny place card holder.

All is not lost.
Perhaps there is a visit to the Pottery Barn in town
in the near future!



If not, thank you to Pottery Barn
for the beautiful Easter Brunch ideas!

.

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled Easter.

Easter Greetings


Easter Greetings
Send I thee,
Glad and
happy may
it be.

Sounds like something Yoda from Star Wars would say!



A friend of mine was telling me about a book she reads to kindergarten classes.
She volunteers and has been volunteering at this school for years 
and has children come up to her in other grades
 and tell her they remember the story she read to them at Easter.

"It wasn't always the Easter Bunny who dyed eggs and wove baskets for the children--it was a round old couple who lived in a snug little house. Their pet white rabbit, however, always watched their preparations closely. One Easter morning, the old couple sleeps in, so the rabbit takes over. In time, the children discover they have the Easter Bunny to thank for their gifts."

The postcard is from the Easter Rabbit Postcard Book 
published by Darling & Company.
The artist is unknown but they did know the date - 1916.

Postcard Friendship Friday is hosted each week by the lovely Beth.

OOPS!

I almost forgot all about Earth Day.
Shame on me!



The Nature Conservancy suggests that to celebrate we should:
Eat Smart
Eat Local
Eat Sustainably
Eat Green
Eat Outside With Your Friends!

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled  Earth Day.

The Bunnies are Here!

The Bunnies are taking a short break as they prepare for Easter
and have come for tea!


Easter Tea



Mr. and Mrs. Bunny in tea pot style are dancing their way to Easter.


Easter Bunny



The small bunny and egg mug was hand made and painted by 
a couple living in New Mexico known as
Rabbit Artworks.
(Daffodils on the background.)

The little bunny salt and pepper shakers make me smile.


Easter Tea



They are a handsome couple!
(Love the carrots on his suspenders.)

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

These are just a few of the wonderful tea parties in the blogging world:


Wishing you WELL and a wonderful cup of TEA!

Springtime!

It's Springtime!
Today we started with a cool morning and will have a high near 90.
The humidity starts coming back late today.


Springtime Mosaic



I wanted to do some experimenting with some of the mosaics I have presented before
and add some shots to celebrate Springtime and Easter.


Springtime Mosaic



The Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush are in bloom on the Rice University campus.

Springtime Mosaic

It seems like Spring happens for the first time each year!
Do you remember the blooms being this lovely last year?
Or the sky as blue (on those days without humidity)?
Listen to the birds sing!
New life.
New beginnings.
Courage and strength.

I'd like to thank
Mary at Mosaic Monday
and

for being wonderful hosts.

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week!
