It's so rare we see these outside views. You've got an abundance of windows which is nice and a great deck. Is this the front or back? Love it. Spring is coming quick here, too. Does anyone pay attention to the almanac anymore? Our weather people have so many advantages now...they can spot bad weather days in advance. I'm a little excited that I bought some pansies for an urn on my front porch. I think they will be fine.<br /><br />Love your tea cups and pretty floral china. The shamrock cup is perfect for that little nod to your heritage. For so long I denied my little bit of Irish heritage. Here there are people who are 100% going waaaaaaay back. I hung on to the little German in me and my guy has 1/2 French blood. Our kids don't care..., my three married ones have 100% Irish spouses and Abby's boyfriend is 100% as well. It's a huge thing on the Southside. Pride...<br /><br />Thanks so much for the mention about the bunnies. Thank the hubby. I am so unbelievably uncreative! :(. I have to get my spring stuff up but I don't know if I should do all the bunnies. I collect them, and I'm talking big ones. I sometimes scare people with all of them lurking everywhere with those glass eyes. lol!<br /><br />Thanks always for the visits, Vee.<br /><br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-45065284549981256242016-03-17T21:24:59.026-04:002016-03-17T21:24:59.026-04:00I know dental troubles can make one feel terrible....I know dental troubles can make one feel terrible.

I have definitely been remiss about blogging and visiting. As usual, I've enjoyed your post. Love the vintage photograph of the two girls; it looks like a sweeter and simpler time. Your china pots in the first picture are beautiful!! That was so thoughtful of Sam to shop for you when he was at the flea market. Your bunny banner is darling; I keep wanting to make some seasonal banners but I somehow don't get around to it. They're really popular right now. :)<br /><br />So you have a few Irish ancestors, huh? You're right -- don't we all? :-D I hope you've had a nice St. Pat's Day and hope you have a great weekend!<br /><br />Warm hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-82064235898527838812016-03-17T15:04:37.177-04:002016-03-17T15:04:37.177-04:00Enjoyed your post.

But it sure looks springy to me so I say who cares if it was made to hold cocoa? If it was chilly enough, I might even drink a cup in the spring :) Lovely springy touches and the bunnies are adorable. I agree with you about the expressions on some of those old photos (not these). Most old family pics from way back have everyone looking like they are either sad or mad. These two lovely ladies have wonderful faces!Debby Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499542865677173703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-81546713278868351402016-03-15T01:45:45.518-04:002016-03-15T01:45:45.518-04:00The cocoa pot is so pretty, along with the teapot....The cocoa pot is so pretty, along with the teapot.

It would be fun to make up an entire story about them. <br />I see you don't have any snow , either. We have been snow less and very dry for a couple months--very unusual for this area of the front range. Today is very windy so we have a "red flag" fire warning in effect. Hope we get much needed snow or rain soon!<br />My grandsons enjoy shopping in thrift stores, as often they find books or toys they enjoy and can buy with their chore money.<br />I did not decorate this year for St Patrick's Day this year as Easter is too close behind it.
