Polka Dotted Easter Fun


This is such a cute and easy idea. You just adhere zot dots to the hard boiled eggs in a random fashion and then cover the eggs with colored sugar or glitter.Dust off the excess with a small paint brush or a paper towel if you are lazy like me and you have polka dotted Easter eggs.
So adorable and so easy to make. I love Easter it is my favorite holiday.
Usually we are at our Kauai house and we go to the early Service at the
Wai oli Hui la Church. So fun to try and sing hymns in Hawaiian. Then off to Hanalei Bay to jump off the pier. This year our oldest is away at College and our son is playing Varsity baseball and has a tournament so Kauai will have to be later in the year.I am having so much fun decorating the house. Gorgeous flowers and yummy treats. It is going to be a fun and God filled day.

Happy White Wednesday


I can't believe how fast this week is going. The weather has been gorgeous and I have spring fever. I seem to lose all track of time. I was in the garden this morning looking at the little baby cantaloupe in awe. The birds were singing the roses are in bloom.I am grateful.
This is the sweetest white cabinet and was the inspiration for the one I bought at Matildas a few months ago. I have mine in my bedroom. I really love the scale and the amount of treasures I can store in one place.Of coarse I have mine filled with ironstone pitchers, old victoria magazines and books, books, books.Today I am going to try and capture the white on white in this picture , I will show you the before and after pic's so you can see if I was successful.
Wish me Luck.

Rachel Ashwell is coming to Vignettes


I am excited that Vignettes is hosting Rachel Ashwell on April 10. Gail and I went to to meet her at Blue Springs Home and she is so down to earth and really nice. It was fun to see how she staged the event. She had a fabulous ruffled tablecloth and 4 lovely vintage floral pins pinned to the table. She stood for hours next to the table signing books and talking with each person. Very one on one. Don't miss this opportunity to meet her. I am going to invite her to the Olivenhain Grove Sale April 30th and May 1. It is going to be a Fabulous event. Up to 30 vendors selling one of a kind treasures.
