Delivering Easter Wishes

Good Spring Morning To You!

Dropping by on this Friday before Easter to

wish each and every one of you a most glorious

Easter.  I hope it is going to be filled with love,

friends and family.  Lehmer and I will be

leaving early tomorrow to celebrate the

Easter weekend with our children

in Richmond.  Cannot wait to share Easter

fun with Avery.  This will be the first year

that he will actually participate in

some fun activities.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is going to be very busy indeed.  I

have lots of cooking to do.  Hollis is

hosting our Easter Brunch this year, but

I will be taking some food down.  We are

all pitching in, which always makes it

easier.  I'm making sugar cookies here

and then we will decorate them Saturday

night.  I'll definitely try to share some

pictures.  I'm really excited about

my Easter cake.  Hope it turns out as 

planned.  Before I get started on all of

of "happy work", I want to share some

other pictures of Easter at the

Sullivan's.  Even though everyone 

isn't coming here this year, I just can't

help myself.

Love to wrap my candles with something and

this lacey straw ribbon is perfect for Spring.

The candle is "Citrus and Sage" from

Yankee Candle.  Next to the Original scent

from Claire Burke (which I can hardly

ever find anymore), this is my favorite for

spring and summer.

Don't you love that sweet little basket~

 A "vintage" chick nestled with some wonderful

eggs I found in Wilmington, NC a few weeks ago.

Said I wasn't going to buy more Easter

stuff.  Never say ~ never!

 A cross stitch bunny that I did years ago~

 Chalk ware, celluloid, and metal.

"Olde" and much loved~

 More olde stuff!

The egg is one that I used to make and sell

in my shoppe.  It is painted papermache

and tied with ripped and aged scrim. 

 Waxed eggs, lavender covered (done for me years ago by 

my sweet friend Bobbie, and some eggs covered with 

tansy annie ~ they smell so good!

 Don't you love this olde wooden painted egg.

Much of the design is gone, so I handle it 

very carefully.

Tucked for safe keeping in a really big jar.  The

jar is filled with all the dried white roses that I

have been given (and bought for myself-haha).

They turn the most wonderful color.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoy this season as much as I do.  Not

looking forward to all the much needed clean up

in the yard, but I guess that just goes with

the season.  Let's hope we all get to enjoy 

a lovely Spring since the Winter was so hard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish you a very special weekend.  Maybe we

can all squeeze in a few stitches, but if not,

that is OK.

Blessings to all of you,

Sandra
