Luvs...lol... I'll share my - Tarpin Springs - memory.. I was there with DH and my two BILs and SILs.. We were looking around one of the shops, when all of a sudden I had the 'urge' to go to the BR..and knowing my history..they all started to taunt me..rather than help me find a BR. I stopped to ask this little old lady, who looked like she worked in the store. I didn't realize she was a little senile. She gave me this big smile and hug, and started talking to me, like she knew me. I didn't want to be rude and brush her off, so I smiled politely and listened. Then I started doing a my 'wiggle' dance. As she rambled on, I noticed in the background, my BILs..making faces and mimicking my 'wiggle dance'. Of course, this made me start to laugh uncontrolably..which, of course led me to ...You guessed it. So there went my SILs, running around finding clothes to buy for me to change into!! (by the way the little old lady was the owner's mother)... Funny, how I 'connect' my trips to these 'Special Events'.. I don't do well on trips!! ... lol jane

Thanks for your gracious comments, Holiday-ers! candy...yup, I'm hooked on "teapots" now, too (not "teakettles," as I said)...love the 'Enablers R Us' group here! Marylee & Frou & PM...my Mom has to be smilin' down on me about dressin' Babydoll!(& she does have cute toes & fingers...even tho they feel like plastic. I've enjoyed decorating w/her so much since coming to this Forum...will pass on to DH shelf compliments. The ceramic baby chicks I got after Spring sale at a local specialty consignment shop. punk...I bought that column (table post or whatever) for $10 at another CShop ...it was stained that color & my Mother Hen is wood from HLobby...had her for a few yrs now & seemed a perfect match! There is a nail sticking in the column for candles. jane & pat & nana...those brown bunnies called to me...I bought them over 2 or 3 yrs at another specialty CS...I leave them out for summer usually, too. Ever since I've seen party-music's wonderful hand-made baskets I am on the outlook for them! LOL...hope to see some more BOP pics...SMILING is good! Thanks again, everyone! Jeanne S. ... now need some more motivation & energy...you all help with that! LOL! I got another of those "columns" or whatever you call them for $10 (which is a steal around this area, anyway) & DH & I did this project last yr with it...painted it white:

Ohhh I'm drooling alright! Right up my alley...everything is so lovely. Another site to often visit! Thanks jane

DM's Tea Rose dinnerware is such a pretty set. She'd be so pleased that you're enjoying it now. Your table looks lovely and the crosses on ea placesetting is a nice touch. That Bunny CP from your friend does go perfectly w/the dinnerware. The buffet in the background is done nicely and TJ is looking festive ...is her little bunny doll a vintage piece? Tea cart and counter vignettes are looking festive too. Again - WOW..you've been so busy and living up to your reputation as the 'Energizer Bunny' ! Just like Candy...you've created an Easter Wonderland ! I'm sure your DGD must love visiting. BTW..for your office tree..how about spring flowers tucked into the branches and colorful birds...that would bring you thru to July 4th..!! lol TFS Punk... jane
