A Peek Into Our Easter



 It was supposed to rain all day on Easter but it ended up being sunny for most of the day.

 My thrift store bunny painted gold.

 The dining room table.  Click to enlarge any pic.

 The parade of thrift store bunnies.

 I painted half of them gold.

 And filled lots of them with treats.

 Vintage English flow blue china.

 Vichyssoise was served as a first course in the small glasses.

 Mini strawberry rhubarb pies for dessert.

 Individual carrot cakes.

 And Easter baskets.

 Each guest got their own basket when they left.

I also made a rich chocolate cake for all the chocolate lovers.  It was the ugliest cake I've ever made.  Bad buttercream weather!  It was reported that it tasted good though.

FABULOUS. Spectacular. Enchanting.
Your home is just like you, beautiful both inside and out. I was fine until I got to the hall and just like when I saw your library the first time at Christmas..I exclaimed out loud "WOW" and H. had to come and see what was happening..his reaction was exactly the same. Of course I had to show him the rest of the pictures..and wanted to take him around the corner to the back. I couldn't get through that gorgeous gate and besides when H. saw THAT he fainted dead away!!! LOL
