I know we’re all hopping around like bunnies…preparing for Easter or celebrating Passover, making Easter baskets, cooking for family and friends, or maybe you’re packing to leave town…good for you :). Join me, if you have a minute, for quick birthday luncheon. I hope you won’t think it’s for the birds!
It’s informal, so we’ll be eating in the breakfast nook. I know this is “rabbit season”, but this tureen and these colors were whispering in my ear….
The tureen and stargazer lily were in cahoots….”We belong together,” they said. “How can you keep us apart?”
“Our innermost beings cry out for each other,” they pleaded. And they were right. Their hearts seemed like the perfect union.
They conspired with the folks at Pier One. “Send her an email about the sale---she’ll see those perfect napkins”. They brought the Target birds into the conspiracy. You know the old saying—“Birds of a feather….”
Soon birds from all over the house were joining in….”We were meant to be….”.
The word went out to Target. “Put the cupcake kits rights up front….she’ll get the hint”.
You can’t fight mother nature…..some things are meant to be!

I'm trying to slip back into Blogland while still in Florida helping with my mom. I'm slowly reading all the back posts. I love your tureen and the way this table came together. It is really pretty. I know what you mean when all those things just "call your name" and have to go home with you.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all of your bunnies, love the wreath on the front door. That pizza looks delicious and I just had pizza for dinner. You and your daughter did a great job with the bedroom...she must be thrilled!

So very sweet! These are some of my favorite colors. My kitchen was designed around my mom's Hull vases which are a buttery yellow and pinky peach! Isn't it fun to bring so many differnt items together and it look so good?? Hope you are having a grand week.
ReplyDeleteThat is a table to gladden the heart and make any guest feel welcome. It is really beautiful. A bit like an Impressionists painting. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
