Happy Easter - Show and Tell Friday





 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday and Happy Easter!  I can't believe how fast this weekend snuck up on me! I thought I decorated for Easter really early this year and now it's already almost here!

 

 



 

I shared my tiered dish with the nests and eggs a few weeks ago but now I've added some small terra cotta pots, which are actually napkin rings that I've had for years.  The bottoms of

A little kitchen Easter decor - Show and Tell Friday!


 




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I haven't shown you my tiny little kitchen in my new apartment yet.  There isn't much to see actually but I have a wrap around counter that overlooks the dining room and living room so I decided to use this area for some Easter décor.





After finding the old photo that I shared last week of the teacups with the chick under the cloche I decided to

Easter Decor from the past - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday and Happy April!  I can't believe it's already April but I'm happy winter is over! I'm sure many of you are even happier than me about that! It's been a brutal winter for a lot of you!

An update from Coco and Beau!


 



We (Coco Chanel and Beau) just wanted to say hi to everyone!  We are now settled in our new apartment and we are liking it very much!  There are lots of dogs around here for us to bark at when our mom takes us for our walks!   We even bark at the dogs that walk by our apartment all day long!  We also like to hang out in our mom's bedroom in this comfy wicker chair!  Our mom will be sharing

Hand-painted rose plates - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I lived with the mirror in my dining room for a week and I just felt it needed something. I'm just not a simple girl...I need stuff!  I added some hand-painted rose plates last weekend and now I like it better!

 




 

I've had these plates awhile and they are some of my favorites! I actually bought the four small plates together and then found the larger
