There goes Peter Cottontail

Well, with the recent announcement that we need to practice social distancing through the month of April, it looks like Easter will be hippity hoppitying right past us this year.

So . . . I thought I’d cheer myself up by setting the table for an Easter tea; imagining myself enjoying homemade quiche and scones with friends. Doesn’t that sound good right now?


I used vintage china that I collected from Etsy and a table runner that I picked up at Target.While I’ll miss the yearly visit from the Easter Bunny, the fun pops of color on the table are definitely brightening my day today. (P.S. The milk chocolate bunny in the Easter basket may or may not be missing his ears since these photos were taken.)

What’s on your agenda? I hope your day is a good one!

Calling All Angels

This past holiday season I was searching for ornaments on Etsy when I unexpectedly ran across a ceramic artist from Belgium. (That’s what’s so great about Etsy, you find things you didn’t even know you were looking for . . . )

As I scrolled through the artist’s site, my eyes fell upon two angel figurines that I was so entranced with, I couldn’t get them out of my mind. I favorited them and revisited them numerous times over the next few days. Finally, I bought one for myself and one for a friend.

Little did I know at the time that we would both be in need of a guardian angel. And as it turns out, the angels that I chose that day ended up being perfect for us. I have been wanting to reignite my creativity for a while, and my multitalented friend has a wonderful idea for a book.

Find my angel here.

Whether you believe in angels or not, something told me that these little angels belonged to us; a tangible reminder that we are not alone as we navigate our new paths.

As the artist says on her site, angels:

Enfold you in their healing wings
Love you unconditionally
Support you in every way!

I can believe in that.

Why did I just “have to have” this little cow creamer? I don’t know! I just LIKE it. Even though I don’t own a lot of farmhouse decor, I love incorporating different styles to make my home unique.

I’ve actually seen a few different versions of this creamer on Etsy, mostly from outside the U.S., and too expensive to buy and have shipped. But I finally ran across this one, and although it has a few flaws, the price was right.

If you’re patient, you can usually find what you’re looking for without breaking the bank. I paid $8 with free shipping and I’m good with that!

Moo.
