Easter in the Entry

 Hello Dear Ones! I have a little entry area in my home as you walk in the front door and I love to change out my decor with the seasons. It's Springy Eastery time so here we go...

If you visit me much you know that this buffet is named Little Richard and I gave him and his mirror a paint job when we moved back to Texas. He loves this pretty shade of blue/turquoise with a little bit of gold trim!

For some reason I ended putting one of my silverware boxes here as a lift and it just stayed. It makes a good base for my whatevers. My lamps seem to stay here too as well as the runner. Well, the runner is from the same fabric as the valances over my piano so...

Now you know how I love my Milk Glass and this punch bowl made an appearance at Christmas with  flowers in it so I followed up using it again and poked in lots of spring florals. Needless to say this Milk Glass punch bowl makes a great container for a flower arrangement. I have honestly had some of these flowers for over 25 years! Yes, I have. I keep them in tubs and just go grab what I need and then put them back when I've finished with the arrangements. Do you do that?

Aren't they pretty? Am I bragging on myself? Nah... :)

Of course I love my doilies and I had to use one here and I placed a couple of little eggs at the base. Perfect for me.

Heavy ceramic eggs and I love them.

On either side of my flower arrangement I have bunnies! Of course. This is a trio of little bunnies - Mommy and babies or maybe Daddy, Mommy and baby.

Then on the other side I've places another little trio of bunnies. They are having a grand ole time.

The sun is shining in through the glass front door this morning and everyone is happy and loving the sunshine. Hope you have sunshine at your home today. If not in the weather - hopefully in your heart.

Be a bunch of sweeties,                                                                                                                        Shelia ;)

The Funny Little Bunny With the Powder Puff Tail

 

There was a little bunny who lived down the lane
In his hole in an old log rail.
With his little pink nose,
And, his long white ears,
The funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

He woke one morning and his mama said,
"now take this yellow pale
Of easter eggs to the boys and girls."
You funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

But on his way a big bad wolf
Leaped from the side of the trail.

He snapped at the bunny with his long white teeth.
But all he got was a powder puff tail.

Away he ran to the children's house
As fast as he could sail.
And, the big bad wolf was fooled again

By the funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

Now the funny little bunny lives safe and sound
In his home in the hollow rail.
And he sits and he paints on his easter eggs.
The funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

The big bad wolf can't bother him.
He's grown to old and frail.
No longer can he harm our pal.
The funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

So every easter the bunny can go
To the home of the girlies and boys.
He takes them lots of easter eggs
To fill their hearts with easter joys.

Now the funny little bunnies all gather round
To hear him tell the tail,
Of the way he fooled the big bad wolf.
The funny little bunny with the powder puff tail!

Little Richard Is Ready For January

 Hello, Dear Ones! How are you all doing today? I've been getting my house back in order after taking all of Christmasing down and wanted to share with you my entry today

Here sits Little Richard and his mirror. He was ready for a fresh look.  So I went to town. Oh, I did bring in our very olden coat/hat rack and hung up a few bird plates on the wall. It's been sitting in the garage for three years! I love that old hat rack and need to find a special hat to hang on it.

Okie dokie! Here is my simple little vignette adorning the top of Little Richard. That runner I made years ago always sits here whether it's summer or winter.

I grabbed one of my silverware boxes to elevate my floral (which I use constantly too). Do you ever use these flatware boxes in your decor? I have a couple more that I can use too. Anyway I added this beautiful Staffy couple and I called it a day!

They are just so proud of themselves and demanded I take closeups of them so you could see how pretty they are. I'm a sucker for my dogs!

Here's another view at my little entry looking toward the front door! It's been pretty warm here with lots of sunshine and then we get a few days of cold weather! It's hard to know what shoes to wear - flip flops or boots!

Lucille

 Lucille, won't you do your sisters will?
Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
You ran off and married, but I love you still

Lucille, please, come back where you belong
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone, whoa

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone

Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
I played for it, baby, and gave you such a wonderful start

Christmasing On Little Richard

 Hello, Dear Ones! Today I want to bring you into my little entry to see Little Richard is all dressed up for Christmas!

I have this old Nativity sitting here on top.

Lots of to do is going on to honor the birth of Baby Jesus.

My old Nativity comes in two pieces: The Holy family

Then the three Wisemen.

There was not an angel with my Nativity, but this one came to oversee the scene. I put this angel together many years ago. Her head, hands, wings and the plastic cone she stands on came in the kit and then I had to pick my fabric and make the dress and then her cape. I still think she is a pretty angel and she is the correct size to fit with this Nativity.

Among the pines and ribbons, sits my little Bible that I carried to church when I was a little girl. If you will look closely at Jesus' face you'll see I gave him some very luscious eyelashes! It's so old and falling apart but I use it each Christmas season.

I've opened my little Bible to this beautiful painting of the birth of Jesus. Dear Ones, we all get caught up in buying presents, wrapping them, getting together with family and friends and of course decorating! All these things are wonderful but the main reason we celebrate this time of year is because of the birth of our Savior Jesus! 

Merry Christmas to you all!

Away In A Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

Little Richard Has Fallen!

 Hello, Dear Ones! Hope you are all doing well today. I'm so glad you're here so come on in...

My front door is always open to you.

As you walk in my front door this is what you see - Little Richard! You do name your furniture don't you? Well, Little Richard is old and when we moved in our home almost three years ago, I gave him a paint job and he is very happy with his new look as so is his mirror!

Okie Dokie! With that out of the way look how I Falled Little Richard up! The greenery you see has been here all summer and I got all smarty pants and just placed some faux hydrangeas and a few Fall blooms in it and said - that's good!

But greens and blooms where not enough.

Guess what I did next?

I poked down one of my little Staffies and he was very happy to be here. He doesn't have a mate so he sits alone. He's a little shy so he tries to blend in with the leaves.

On the other side I placed these two soft blue pun'kins that blend in so well with Little Richard. I placed one in a little cut glass stemmed bowl and then poked down some hydrangeas and I was done.

Just a simple little vignette that makes me happy and I hope it pleases you too.

Blue On Blue

 

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

I walk along the street we used to walk
Two by two, lovers pass
And as they're passing by, I could die
'Cause you're not here with me
Now the trees are bare
There's sadness in the air
And I'm as blue as I can be

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams
As I run to your side
You wait with open arms, open arms
That now are closed to me
Through a veil of tears
Your vision disappears
And I'm as blue as I can be

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you . . .
