Happy Show and Tell Day! Well, I had planned to get all my Easter decor out but with all that's been going on in my life I just didn't feel like doing it so I'm sharing what I did in previous years. Looking at these photos makes me wish that I had decorated this year though!
I bought those faux chocolate bunnies at Marshalls a couple years ago! I love them!
Zero calorie chocolate eggs are the only ones I want in my home! They look real, but they aren't!
I hope that those of you that celebrate Easter have a wonderful day!!!

ReplyDeleteVery lovely decoration on Easter day. I like chocolate eggs that you have made it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter,Cindy!! Sorry to hear of your loss!! Hope God gives you the strength to overcome this loss.
ReplyDeletex, P
Although none of us can know exactly how you feel, because grief is so individual and personal, "loss triggers memory of loss." The older we get, many of us lose more people than we gain in our lives...and it hurts. We remember the pain, so we can feel some of yours. It all comes rushing back. The holidays are pretty raw the first time you're without someone who's always been a part of them. I definitely recall being absolutely unable to decorate the Christmas tree or listen to a carol...me, the quintessential lover of anything yule-related. There was a time when carols would play at lunch in the office (not so much these days, of course)...and I'd have to make a quick exit. A co-worker looked at me with such a wide-eyed wonder and compassion, saying "darling, don't you know, it's the angels singing" and, whew, did that open up the floodgates.
ReplyDeleteBut it's good and I'm sure comforting amid the heartache, that you have wonderful memories of your mother, untainted by anything unpleasant. Take that and run with it, remembering every Happy Easter you shared with her. It's frustrating...because you want her instead of memories of her...but hold onto anything that helps. The structure of work and routine is sometimes a godsend in the rough cycle of grief.
Thank you for thinking of your blogger friends through your tears. Your blog is such a weekly treat. Sending you and your dad "healing wishes and (chocolate) bunny kisses" as April yields to May and time keeps us marching on.
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful decor as always...love the fake chocolate:) Wishing you a blessed Easter.
Blessings,
Linda
So lovely!! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteCindy I totally understand and I do know where you are coming from.
ReplyDeleteSince I lost my only sibling in Feb. it has been hard. She was not only was my sis but my best friend.
Our interest was the same sewing and crochet.There has been so many
times I have thought of calling her to ask her a sewing question.
It will take time. I still miss my mom and she has been gone for 17 yr., dad too and he's been gone for 22. You were lucky to have your mom for that long. I am still praying for you.
Hi Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss. best wishes to you and your family Anu
ReplyDeleteLovely Easter decor, hope to see you at My Dream Canvas sometime!
It looks beautiful Cindy. Thinking of you and your wonderful Dad. oxo, Joyce
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Cindy!! What a beautiful post--it is breathtaking...XO Cindy
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! You just totally inspired me to bake the best Easter cupcakes ever! Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo glad you re-posted your Easter vignettes, I missed them before and they are absolutely stunning!! Those eggs DO look real enough to eat!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Sherri:)
Hi Cindy I've been having problems posting my link on your page. im just trying to link my blog up to yours. if you have any idea what it could be please let me know. Thanks and happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful, specially the lilacs.
Thanks for hosting.
Happy Easter
Hugs

My Easter lovelies are temporarily packed away during painfully-slow remodeling so, if I can't enjoy my own right now, at least I can indulge in looking at yours. Such pretty tablescapes; you've got the touch, but we all know that!
ReplyDeleteA question maybe you could sometime expand on: I live in earthquake "country" like you; do you go to great lengths to protect a lot of your breakables on display with products like museum wax ("Quake Hold") or do you just take chances? The products really work, but I've had a problem with gel or putty adhering so well, that I can't then lift up the item again without fear of breaking it or damaging the surface upon which it sits (wood surface is the worst; glass, the best; and it can stain fabric). I had a cousin who lost everything in her china hutch to the Northridge quake...I mean, every single piece of cut glass, on the floor, shattered...and a friend in Santa Barbara/Goleta, many years ago now, also lost the entire contents of a curio cabinet, packed full of irreplaceables. Somebody else I knew had their china cupboard bolted to the wall but its glass shelves collapsed in a quake; of course, in a case like that, what can you do.
Mom has now stashed away most of the fragile collectibles she's enjoyed having out over the years, wanting to protect family "heirlooms"...and it's just no way to live. We save and collect for a reason, because it makes us happy to see and admire and honor our girly things, right? Again, what do YOU do...you've got a lot of treasures, not just to dust, but to keep safe!
Yes those chocolate eggs do look real. Love the cloche vignette too. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHappy easter. Lovely displays
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Cindy. So sorry it's been a while since I stopped by for a visit. I always enjoy my time at your lovely blog. Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh I almost forgot, I'm having a giveaway to win a gorgeous dress. I hope you'll stop by Katherines Corner for a visit.
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI hope the true meaning of Easter brings you comfort this year.
Your decorations were beautiful, as is everything in your lovely home. My favorite spring time treat is fresh cut lilacs -- the fragrance is divine.
Easter Blessings,
Deborah
