How Wonderful.....

to get so many responses to my 200th post giveaway! I am just giddy with excitement about all my new followers.

I hope to visit all of your blogs and get to know you better.

Thank you for all your kind word about my little birds.

I am looking forward to announcing a winner at the end of the week.

Just a few random things on this Wednesday evening....
Here's some flowers in the cute little garden wagon I found last spring at the antique mall....
Isn't it wonderful to have the colors of spring once again?

Here's a special keepsake set I took out yesterday. It's a Beatrix Potter children's plac setting that I received from a special friend when my oldest son was born.

One thing that has really struck me lately is how we treasure things from special people that have crossed paths with us in our lives.

The little (or big) gifts of kindness stay in our hearts forever.

They are very powerful.

My Easter vignette will include this treasure. Hopefully I will have it done in the next day or two to show you.

And last, but not least.....I found this bread recipe at a wonderful blog--Sandra at Stone Creek Market yesterday. I just had to try it.

We made it last night--it is so simple and so delicious. Just look at these two beautiful loaves!!! NOTE: I could not get this photo to dowload correctly for anything...sorry it's crooked. Frustrating.

Anyway, check out the recipe and make some yummy bread in a jiffy.

Oh....and just one more thing....Look at this little treasure I picked up on ebay for $4.99!

Isn't it just too precious????

This will be part of my Easter display also.

It is so dainty and oh so sweet...maybe filled with eggs?

We'll see..
