...of Bunnies..Books..and Recycled Grass...

Today I had the pleasure of going to my neighborhood Book Club meeting.........








We had read and we were discussing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.

.



I think most enjoyed it more than I did, but that didn't stop me from having a great time talking about it.

Of course you already know the purpose of a great bookclub is to get together, drink, eat and gossip , oh yeah... discuss the book, I guess... . Well, it was interesting, but not really one of my favorite books by far.

..besides the above reasons I enjoyed the day...

Was that our hostess with the mostest has a beautiful home...



(Is this not the cutest chest you ever saw?!? .... she knows I have my eyes on this!)

all dressed up for Easter........

The food was not only pretty, it was delish...................

Look at these deviled eggs.......

Not to mention the artistically created and crafted "bee-hive butter" that she made to go with the little mini muffins..........





Now for the Recycled Grass part of the post....

Last year I planted wheat grass... so I thought I would "recycle" these photos and show them a second time! Hope you don't mind. You know how I like to be "green" and all....



It was so fun and simple... almost overnight, it grew to look like this!




See that cute little "chocolate" bunny?


Not trying to brag...but the famous Gollum gave it to me!




My dining room was adorned with the prettiest grass I'd ever grown...





I just stuck little purple silk flowers in it..........








here's one happy bunny munching on grass..........

Happy Easter Everyone!

If you don't like veggie's...decorate with them!

I'd like to show you a quick little metamorphosis that I created for a fun and organic look. I did this last year and thought it was the perfect time to show you all how you can take a bunch of grocery store flowers and create an artistic arrangement.




It starts off with a clear glass or vase. I used a straight vase, but a water glass would work just as well.




The next step is to go to your local grocery store and buy one bunch of asparagus. This will be perfect for you Easter table.






Then you simply take the rubber band that was holding your asparagus together and put it around the vase..... you get the idea, right? Start inserting the asparagus between the glass and the rubber band.





I got lucky, and was able to use every last one... it filled in around just right.








Now, just look around your house and find a ribbon, raffia or a piece of fabric and tie it up, trying to cover up the rubber band.





Insert your garden or grocery store flowers inside and you have a fancy smanscy designer bouquet. I believe it couldn't be simpler or more elegant.



Simple and inexpensive , if you are one of the lucky ones that gets to skip the cooking this year and just have to show up at your relatives or friend's house, the hostess will be impressed when you hand them this arrangement.











This teapot caught my eye while shopping at Marshalls. Just my style... hand painted and so cheerful.









These are called Italian Fruit.. sugar and creamer... just in case!
