Here we are just before sitting down for dinner.
George spent the weekend with us, I love having family here and Carl is having the best time with his brother. They love talking about old times, going to the fishing hole along the river and even to the flea market.
Isn't this the sweetest bunny? I just love it! The guys went to the flea market on Saturday and this was an Easter surprise for me from George. When he saw it he said "this is Linda". When I opened it I knew this had to be our table centerpiece...too cute. Look at the cute little glass chick, it's one of my basket treats from my honey. We've always exchanged baskets with our family and friends it's just a tradition we enjoy. Do you see the little floating flower candles at each place? They are part of my Easter swap lovelies from Cate at A Charmed Life. My package arrived Saturday just in time for Easter.
Look at my special basket! It is so pretty, I love it! I think I'll put it beside my bed with books I'm reading and my journals. Cate is just so clever and creative look at all the precious treasures that were inside........
First let me tell you everything was wrapped in the prettiest pink and turquoise tissue and as I opened each package all I could say was "how pretty, oh, look, how neat, I love this"......there was the prettiest journal and notepad with pen, a darling flower mug with teas, candies, the floating candles, (click on the picture for a close up of all the treasures) the prettiest chenille heart and an egg that Cate made and the sweetest Easter bracelet she also made and a rose hanky. Cate, thank you for all the lovelies. Each time I use one of my treasures I will be reminded of my sweet new blogging friend.Today is another pretty day, I'm meeting my Johnson friends for lunch at a beautiful new restaurant on the river....it will be fun to see everyone and catch up on the latest happenings. Do you have plans for today? Whatever you do just have a happy day. Hugs, Linda

Your Easter sounds lovely Linda.
What a sweet Easter surprise from the flea market :-} and your Easter swap parcel is wonderful! Enjoy your day lunching with friends.
Oh Linda, those candles look lovely the way you floated them with the ivy. It was so much fun preparing the "basket" for you and I just loved mine, too!
Good Afternoon Linday,
Well you are probably out having lunch with your friends right now. I hope yall will have a wonderful time. "THANK YOU" so much for the beautiful Anniversary card you emailed me yesterday. I will have to show that to my DH when he gets home tonight or tomorrow before he leaves out. I'm so glad you had a wonderful Easter. I love the Easter surprise that George got you. Your table looks so beautiful and I love the floating candles at each place. The basket that you got from your friend is so gorgeous. Everything in it is just beautiful. Is that an old lunchbox that your basket is made from? Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Have a lovely lunch with your friends.

Your jade-ite is just perfect on the Easter table with your new bunny! I had a big crew for Easter Monday dinner and I don't have enough jade-ite to use for everyone. Guess that means I need to add to that collection before next Easter, too! Lynn P.S. My parlor ceiling is Laura Ashley Gold 2 and the walls will be Gold 4!
That is a lovely bunny - a perfect Easter centrepiece! Your Easter swap basket looks wonderful too.
PS: I've added the instructions for making rice crispie cakes to my blog - really easy!
That hubby of yours is a great shopper, I love all the goodies he always picks up for you!
sounds like you all had a very nice holiday. Enjoy the rest of your week! The weather has been just gorgeous hasnt it?
