Tam, Your buffet is beautiful. You carried the pinks thru very well and the black color is nicely distributed. Often people will forget that "rule" of carrying the colors in the vignette throughtout the "look", which you did very well. The varying heights of the objects are great too (being that the different heights allows the eye to "travel"). The only thing I might change would be to remove the center decoration from the buffet (under the Believe sign), it is very pretty, but, just don't feel that you "need" to fill every "open" space. Sometimes "open spaces" are just as important the vignette its self. I hope you do not mind the comment, I really, really hate giving suggestions, cause I don't want to hurt peoples' feelings. Please realize this is only my opinion and not neccessairly the "correct" one... You really are doing wonderful with your vingettes!

Kgal, I love your hutch and all your Easter decorations! That cabbage/lettuce bowl with the bunnies is adorable and the pitcher is beautiful. Glad to see you are practicing with the picture posting before the Tea Party on the 5th. Not sure if you wanted the pictures side by side but if you put a space (i.e. press "enter") in between the two "a"'s when posting multiple HTML codes, they will be below one another.(hope that makes sense!) I am a newbie at posting pictures too so know the frustrations! DD

Magpie...Wow! thanks for such wonderful compliments! Now, I think you don't give yourself credit to be able to decorate a hutch - because right now - you Don't Have One! I'll bet once you do...you'll amaze yourself. That time you posted some pics...I loved what you did - and thought you had lovely things and displayed them nicely. I'm looking forward to more from you. As far as those flowered dishes..if you mean the white with the green floral border...they were from a local consignment shop. They only had two...but that's okay.they work in with what I have. I do that alot by just getting two or four sometimes even one. Also, I have years of collecting ..so I have lots to work with. I need YOUR storage space!! jeanne...I know you're right...I have to experiment to find out just what can be done with the photos. I always love how yours look..all like a special presentation. One day, when I can sneak some time...I'm going to give it a try. Thanks again...and anytime you want to share a new technique..I'm interested. jane

jaybird, there is actually a whippet statue on the bathroom counter, LOL. A big laying one. Plus artwork all over the bathroom walls. DD, the bunny was from my adopted 8 yr old niece. She sent me some more bunnies for my b.d. and they are wonderful too. She saves her coins, goes thrift shopping, and finds me the neatest bunnies! She's a doll. Yes, the Jim Shore rabbits do have a carousel look, which is why I fell in love with them. He does reindeer in this style also. I have two of them so far. Its his Heartwood Creek Collection. For my b.d., my best friend sent me a March angel who's holding my birth stone. Aquamarine. If you've never seen the Heartwood Creek collectibles, you should browse google or even eBay and see them. I love them. Tho only the reindeer and these rabbits are carousel type on the poles. All my easter eggs came from Michaels, last year's after Easter sale. I got one pack of the little faux chocolate eggs that are with the rabbits, then got a few of the bigger individual chocolate eggs that look painted. Those two are on my stacked plates. Prosp, the eggs you asked about are plastic and yet done so nicely. After looking at my own photo of the stacked plates, I realized I'd totally forgotten to put the lavender "grass" I bought on the little top plate under the chicks! So it looks bare compared to the bottom two. Arrgghh! So yes, OA, the Fibro IS getting the best of me. I've been a real mess. Brain Fog to go with the terrible pain. I'm not much fun lately, LOL. Felecia, I'm sorry as it sounds like you have it also. And Jane...lupus...that has to be far worse to deal with. I'm terribly sorry for what you go thru.
