Irish Green Tablescape

I spent a little time this morning adding some Irish green to the kitchen table.

I bought this set of Sangostone/Country Cottage dishes at Target about 25 years ago.

Through the years I have found extra pieces at antique malls & flea markets.

The little cottage reminds me of what you might see in Ireland.

The Hoosier cabinet is also ready to celebrate the green.

Tea with cream?

Green & White

Thank you for checking out my tablescape.

Come back tomorrow & I'll talk a little more about the discontinued Country Cottage dishes.

Sneaky Rabbit

Even though it is cold & windy today, a sneaky rabbit has been hopping around the house.

Some of you may remember Mr. Bosley Reed.

He first stopped by the dining room.

Then he read for a while by this green plant.

He hopped up on the mantle to visit the reading fairy.

He enjoyed reading with Muffin Moose & Sweater Bear.

Inn the end, he decided to stay in the dining room watching over his rabbit friends.

They enjoy hearing him read all kinds of fun stories about spring.

Words That Inspire

source

I saw this video on Facebook this morning.

It will put a smile on your face & inspire you!

“Work willingly at whatever you do, 

as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. 

Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, 

and that the Master you are serving is Christ. 

Colossians 3:23-24

Wishing you a day of inspiration . . .

Hello March

March roars in like a lion

So fierce,

The wind so cold,

It seems to pierce.

The month rolls on

And Spring draws near,

And March goes out

Like a lamb so dear.

~ Lorie Hill ~

Happy 1st day of March, everyone!

Our weather is lamb like even tho the day started cold.  

How does it feel in your neck of the woods?

Target Love

I love shopping at Target!

There is a store VERY close to my house.  Too close in fact!  If I had to I could walk there in 10 minutes.

Are you like me, you have a list of a few things & before you know it your basket is loaded with all kinds of stuff?  That's what happened when Hubby & I went shopping at Target last night.  We only needed light bulbs, black beans, oatmeal & powdered sugar.  Hubby heads towards the light bulbs with a basket & I stop at the $ section with my basket before I look for the things on my list.  I found some very cute items for Easter.  

paper plates & napkins

sprinkles & glittery spring shapes.

Next, I headed for the food section.  On the way there I pass the makeup section which jogs my memory that I need mascara & blush.  Instead of  continuing on to the food I decide to check out the Easter section at the back of the store.

Easter candy & grass went into my cart.

Hubby calls to find out where I am.

Finally I make it to the food section.  On the isle where the powdered sugar is I pass the icing & cake mixes.

Oh, yeah, I need some of that & cupcake liners.

Long story short.

With the extra stuff in Hubby's cart, our purchases came to over $100.

Yikes!  

Did I mention I love shopping at Target?
