MORE EASTER EGGS AND BUNNIES

In my previous post, I told you I thought my bunnies were reproducing in the holiday closet. Now, even more bunnies and eggs have come out in our family room.

FRIDAY FAVES-ANOTHER EASTER EDITION

Friday is almost over, and I'm sharing my Friday Faves!  You didn't think I left a surface in our home undecorated for Easter, did you?

EASTER VIGNETTES IN THE SUNROOM

Easter is almost here, and I'm still sharing our Easter decor.  Do ya think I overdo it?  

MORE EASTER VIGNETTES

In a recent post, I shared some Easter vignettes, and I asked my readers if “vignetting” should be a word.  Since so many agreed with me that it should be, I’m still Easter vignetting.  Spring chicks have taken over the china cabinet in our kitchen.

EASTER VIGNETTES

I’ve been doing a little Easter vignetting (spellcheck says that isn’t a word – well, I think it should be!).  I’ll start by sharing the vignette on the buffet behind our sofa.

EASTER VIGNETTES

Yikes!  I was going to post all of the Easter decorations at my house, and all of a sudden, Easter is almost here!  That’s why I am posting several table top vignettes today.

 

Last year, I “crafted” this little Easter shadow box.  It’s under a cloche this year.

Some of my Easter bunnies know that we are still having winter temperatures.

I am linking to Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.  I hope you’ll come back to see my Easter tablescapes Wednesday night.  Thank you for checking out my blog post.  laurie

ANOTHER HOLIDAY, ANOTHER MANTEL

Can y’all tell that I was deprived of a mantel for years!  I always said that I wanted a house with a fireplace.  Our house prior to this one had a fireplace, but no mantel.  That’s when I realized that what I really wanted was a mantel. 

My sweetheart accuses me of wanting a little weekend getaway place, just so I can decorate it.  I think he may be right.  I obviously wanted a fireplace, so I could decorate the mantel.
 
Now that at I’ve been blogging for a few years, I realize that I should have blogged for about five years before naming my blog.

When I posted my first blog post, 3 1/2 years ago, I titled my blog “Bargain Hunting with Laurie”.  (It may have been that first Easter of blogging when every blog I visited had at least one of those flying bunnies from Pier One.  I’m still using mine.)

I don’t remember how long I’d been blogging, when I decided I should have named my blog “Chatting With Laurie”.  I’m sure you haven’t noticed, but I do love chatting (maybe more than bargain hunting!) . 

So, I changed my blog name to “Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie”.  (I didn’t want to lose the notoriety I had built with the previous blog name, so  kept the “Bargain Hunting~you can stop laughing now!)




I now realize, my blog name should have been “Laurie’s Mantels”, because  I post my mantel re-dos more than anything else.  But, since I don’t want to lose my notoriety (stop laughing), I guess it will remain Bargain Hunting and Chatting.  (How about Bargain Hunting, Chatting, and Mantel Changing”?  Too much?)
I’m linking this “Laurie’s Mantel” post to the Egg-xellent Spring Party (Isn’t that a clever party name?  Barb’s sooo clever) at Grits and Glamour.  Be sure you go get links to egg-xellent mantels all around Blogville.  Thank you for coming by to see another mantel change at my blog.  laurie
