Multiplying Bunnies

These vintage rabbits did what rabbits are known for.......they multiplied. Photographing them, selling them, and really just seeing them had Sea anxious to make some new ones. The crazy thing was she kept selling them before she could complete them so I kept waiting and she would work on another and then....that one would sell. So after a little over a week, we are finally able to show you these. (Also, there are only a few of the vintage ones left.)

We told you these surprize balls were highly adaptable and could be used for many occasions. Now you can see that they are the perfect egg for an Easter basket or a nice find in an egg hunt.

Earth Hour

Today starts spring break in our house and I'm giving into the idea of a break and spending the day.....well...breaking.

Before I go, tomorrow night from 8:30-9:30pm is Earth Hour. Earth hour is a global event created to symbolize that each one of us, working together, can make a positive impact on climate change. At 8:30pm local time wherever you live on the Earth, turn off your lights. Want more...watch this compelling video.

minding your peas and q's

Spring is known as a time of growth and renewal. A time for life to be born whether it is plant or animal. Which is why these pea in the pod graphite pencils make a fresh, relevant and unexpected gift this time of year. Yes, that's right......I said pencil.

all your eggs in one basket

A little behind the scenes look at what we used to color eggs to create an image.

These bowls make another easy, but strong looking centerpiece if you need something without height. Just add moss and the colored eggs.

Easter centerpiece

Recently we were asked to come up with centerpieces for a women's luncheon at our church. The challenge was we needed to be able to make 15 while being very cost conscious. We, of course, added obstacles of our own like it needed to have some height so it didn't get lost in the large room and we wanted each of them to be the same, but different. Here is what we did.

We cut dead Magnolia branches in different sizes and tied them into a cross with raffia. Then we wound thin dead oak branches into a circle for the crown of thorns and tied those with raffia. If there were any little branches going off of them we clipped them short so they looked like the thorns. We placed very large palm fronds under each one to fill the round tables. You can't really see it from the photo, but the branches even had lichens on them which greatly added to their visual interest. As you know, I like working with items from nature. It is always cost conscious and has a natural beauty with no product waste when you are done. We gave them away after the luncheon, but I had to keep these three to photograph. When I saw them together like this, I knew I had to post this as an Easter centerpiece. Simple, beautiful, meaningful.....check, check, check.
