Easter Parade, Part 2

Continuing last week's theme, it's more Easter decor at highpointcircle.  Strike up the band, here comes the parade.

This is a little family of bunnies that I've had forever, really, so long they may be antiques by now!  I love them because they are identical to our family--a mommy, a daddy, a daughter and a son.  Sentimental, I know, but that is me to a T.  They sit on the side-by-side in the piano room.  To see that tour click here.




They have nice detailing on their clothes and that was what attracted me to them.  If you have been reading this blog for awhile, I've mentioned that my mother was a extremely talented seamstress.  Because of growing up in fabric shops and always feeling the fabrics and notions, I still gravitate toward textiles and their properties.






And because I don't think it's proper to leave a blog post looking at a lady's behind, I'll show you the entry chest decked out for Easter too.  I mean, really, I had to for propriety, right?






Hope this Lenten Season is glorious for you and yours.  My love find your heart overflowing with joy!  Please come back next Tuesday and the parade will continue.  I have a very special post waiting in the wings for Holy Week.  I have been patiently saving it for a bit and it is not like me to be patient!

As always, thank you for reading and for your kind, kind comments. 



Linky Parties I'll Join This Week

An Easter Parade, Part 1

There's a party that I want to go to and the appropriate attire for the party is a portfolio of a mantle dressed for Spring.  Spring is the Lenten Season for my home and my mantle displays the three crosses.





I left the silver bunnies from my St. Patrick's mantle  and added the crosses.  The plates were added behind the two secondary crosses for focus and color.  The bunnies at the foot of the main cross repeat the color scheme.


Wish I'd straighten the book before shooting the picture!










As always, thanks for reading.
P.S.  I like to respond to all comments.  I get them to my email account and hit "reply"--if you don't have an email associated with your comment, I cannot reply.  Just a thought to ponder.  I understand someone not wanting to be that public, but I love a good conversation and that can't happen without your email.

Now, here are the parties I told you about.  You know you can just click on a title and go to that site.  Yes, I did that for you!  You are welcome.
