~Inspiration for Spring and Simple & Sweet Fridays #213~

Looking for inspiration for Spring,

I wanted to create a vignette with nests. 

A feather and stamps 

was all I needed to inspire me.

I added beads, miniature eggs and flowers from our garden.

I used one of my cupcake stands to hold the nests on.

I found the nests at Michael's Craft Store. 

Different birds added whimsy to the Spring vignette.

 I bought the birds at a gift store a couple of years ago.

Butterflies and lights were added later for a magical display!

I love how it turned out!!

My favorite app.-Waterlogue.

My cousin, Linda and her son, Jason came

 for a surprise visit from Brooklyn, New York.

I haven't seen her in years. 

What a wonderful time we had in San Diego!

Family is the best!!

Wishing you all a Magical week!!

~Easter Goodies~

I wanted to share with you some sweets I made for Easter.

I bought the cutest Peter Rabbit Loaf Pan at Williams Sonoma.

It's a fun cake to make for Easter.

I added lots of detail icing on it!

I just love Beatrix Potter and all the stories she has written.

I was very happy how the cake turned out.

I had to make another favorite dessert.

~ Easter Sweet Bread~

My mother made it every Easter.

Traditions are always so special!

I made some carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

I found some Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit cake toppers, napkins and paper plates from Fancy Flours.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter dinner!

~An Easter To Remember and Simple & Sweet Fridays #212~

Easter

 is a wonderful holiday to have family and friends over!

Celebrate traditions that we all grew up with.

My mother and father loved having the whole family come home.

I have 6 brothers and sisters and the family grew to 

12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

My mother and dad would have loved celebrating with the kids.

I wanted to share with you photos of the cookies

 I made this year and our Easter table setting. 

Our family would love to wish you and

your families 

~A Happy Easter~

I used my mother's tablecloth for our Easter celebration this year!

I decided to have purple and yellow as the main color scheme.

I found this vintage candelabra for our centerpiece.

Love the purple dried hydrangeas!

  Cute little baskets to hold some goodies for Easter

at Michaels Craft Store.

I made sugar cookies then added fondant on top.

Added icing color gel and painted them.

I got the idea from La Table De Nana.

She is so creative!!

A pretty Easter bunny candle from my friend, Jackie!

Wishing you all a very 

Happy Easter!
