Happy Easter Happy Passover

 


Celebrating Spring ~ Rebirth renewal! Wishing a joyful time to all my friends here.

"It's been a long cold lonely winter...here comes the sun, lalalala, here comes the sun..." Beatles, i think. 

Photos from around my cottage, over the past month or so. You will see the same scene, same item, ''faffed'' and puttered, redone as the season takes hold on even bah humbug/ I hate Spring me. I hope you enjoy our visit! 
















A favorite candle, loved more for its color, though it has a delightful apple scent. With beloved Lily of Valley antique plate from Cape Cod Dump Swap Shop. [English, early-mid 1900s?]


Part of my collection of German eggs.


The hen basket, still rusty, hence the grass.














These are eggs from past few years. Most of the collection I no longer display.



I'm particularly attracted to floral designs. The following are new this year, from eBay.






I thought the auction was for this egg but they included four total, really love them all. But--violets! swoon...



These are the chickies often found still stored in the eggs. The green ones came a few years ago, the faded early chenille chicks are from this year's surprise box. I love them. When I was a little girl, my mom would surreptitiously remove the Easter treasures, my paper egg, my pink and lavender chicks, the grass, the funny dyed purple and yellow raffia basket[s], after a week or so. Then she'd trot them all out again the following year! I loved them every time. She was quite frugal in her own way. But even when I was grown up with kids of my own, every year she sent me an Easter basket---and it thrilled me again,  every time.



New faux-Bunny!




Beloved heirloom candy jar [from my dad's aunt's home]. Doesn't ''go'' but is filled with treats each season on the old red jelly cabinet.





This tiny robin's egg appeared every year too. It had a bunny figure I called Thumper. Those old Disney classics aren't shown now, are they?






White tulips, sepiaware.






Here is Mo, looking very happy that I cannot find hos bunny ears. And he has two pairs. [shaking my head].






Have a good holiday season, love to you all.
