Easter...a time of Spring beauty

The always beautiful Easter Lily ~ later it will be planted in the garden.

This pair of mature white rabbits have been hanging about every Easter for the past several years, thankfully they have not been up to those naughty things rabbits are known for............adding to their family! 

Mrs. Rabbit ~ Easter 2008

They too live in the attic most of the year just coming downstairs to sit on the dining room table around Easter, guarding a bowl or a basket of eggs.

Mr. Rabbit ~ Easter 2010

Beautiful Ranunculus (Persian Buttercups) found at Trader Joe's last week, just $4.99 for a nice bunch ~ pink tulips from my garden. Nothing prettier than Springtime flowers for Easter decorating.  Easter blessings to you and your family.

Pink Saturday

One can always find a place to hang pink roses..............

Pink Saturday this Easter weekend can be both pink and yellow according to our hostess Beverly....and hopefully she'll not mind me throwing a little Spring green into the mix.  During a visit to SuzAnna's Antiques on Thursday, granddaughter Jasmin and I discovered pretty things to share with you in all Spring colors.......and a perfect day out for Spring Break!

Ready for Summer bugs?  Vintage cricket catching boxes would make a cute outdoor display.

Never a lack of china in soft pink and yellow.

Pink wicker, pink rose sprigged cushions, and the prettiest pink pillows.

How sweet are these enamel canisters in true Spring pink, oops I mean green, just couldn't resist!!

Visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for more Spring colors and stories.

Springtime in Paris.....long distance

I would give anything to be enjoying Spring in Paris right now. In fact I would love to be back in Paris at any time of year!  Instead, I'm enjoying my sweet new 'Printemps a Paris 1827' pillow cover recently purchased from Jackie at Wren's Nest.  Just perfect for my French bergere chair.

I also bought the tea stained, ruffled edged tea towel with the fabulous crown motif.  Visit Jackie's online shop for sweet French treasures.

Using the Blogger in Draft setting has me a little perturbed.  I do like the ease of posting photos in any size, but don't like that there seems to be no way to spellcheck - no button appears in the posting toolbar! 

I think perhaps I prefer the old way of posting but don't seem to be able to get it back again!  Anyone know how to do that by chance?

Also, I'm interested in knowing your preference for photo size.  Do you like the X-large display such as the photo of the rabbits, or do you prefer the regular large setting as in the pillow photos?  Personally I like to see details up close in X-large......but admit it can be annoying not being able to view the entire photo without having to scroll up and down.  (Because I often crop/edit images, it's not always possible to click on and enlarge them).

OK dear friends, leave a comment and tell me what you prefer please.  Of course a mix of pic sizes is always possible too!  Also, let me know if you utilize Blogger in Draft and what you think about it!
