Hopping on into Spring

Hop on in...

we are glad you are here.

Things have been hopping around here this week.

We have a visiting preacher this week at Church

and have been out every night this week.

He has been a wonderful speaker and we

have truly enjoyed hearing his lessons.

But, being out every night has meant

eating out every night, so my little table has

not been set very much.

As we get ready to "Spring Forward" this weekend

I thought I would do another "spring" themed table.

Not much has changed...

but I have added a few things from around the house.

The little bunny planter hopped off my kitchen cabinets where

he usually resides to add a fun little to the table

I had found these candle holders at the end of the summer

last year on clearance.  I love the wavy glass and can not wait

to use them on the porch this summer.

I used my same white dishes ...

and my square handled wicker place mats...

I added these cute little bunny salad plates for a touch of 

green.  I love the little bunny in the middle.

My little bunny peeking around the plates to say "hello".

This little bunny has a funny little story that goes with him.

I have been know to be a little selfish from time to time...

especially when it comes to my Mother...

and possibly a former sister-in-law.

My brother had just gotten married not long before my 

 Daddy's Mother passed away.  When she passed away,

my Momma and Daddy packed all of her things up and brought them home.  

 I was still in college and we both were eager to look through the things and keep

a few...I however was not pleased with the fact that

"she" was going through "MY" Grandmother's things...

not my proudest moment...

So, on one weekend when my brother had been home looking through

the many boxes, this little bunny planter popped up.

His wife was a big fan of bunnies and just fell in love...

wrote on the outside of the box that she wanted the white bunny inside.

I don't know why she did not go ahead an take it then...

'cause when I read that note, I thought

"I don't think so..."

Needless to say...the bunny came home with me...

Now, my Momma and I have a little laugh over the bunny

and she tells me that she's glad I was a selfish...

"she" didn't stay around very long, but we are glad

that my Grandmother's bunny did...

I think he looks pretty cute sitting in the middle of the table.

I grabbed some pale green napkins tried

a quick little napkin fold...

I'm sure they would look better if 

I had used an iron on them,

but then I would have...well...

had to actually pull out the iron.

Not my favorite thing to do.

She has all of her tablescapes posted here

and there are many different tutorials on napkin folding

there as well.  Here is how I folded the napkin above.

things crossed off the  Spring Cleaning list.

It seems to be growing every day.
