Just look at those young men there - they are growing up right before our eyes - and doing a great job of dyeing the eggs. Good job on the table extension - hey, we do what we gotta do, and you did good! We had a wonderful Easter service Sunday morning, a brunch at church and a huge Easter egg hunt for the littles. The kids didn't seem to mind that they had to hunt eggs inside as the weather was coolish and wet. My favorite decoration at your house? Why, the pretty cup full of Easter colored M&M's of course!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-64773981636178955402015-04-08T18:43:54.897-04:002015-04-08T18:43:54.897-04:00So nice to come here to see and read about your Ea...So nice to come here to see and read about your Easter. Yes, we celebrate the death and resurrection but the story is our living hope every single day. Praise God! I'm glad that your table extension worked making room for everyone. Your decorations and sweet Easter ideas looked very pretty and I'm sure your little ones enjoyed the sweet treats.

I...Hi Vee, Happy Belated Easter to you, my friend! I so enjoyed reading you Easter Postscript. I think the big carrot made with chopped and sliced veggies is such a cute idea, but my favorite is the teacup and saucer filled with pastel M&M's. Beautiful!! I remember reading previously about you making the marble bags for the grands, and how neat that John found vintage marbles at the flea market. I was looking for some online several years ago, and the vintage ones are pricey! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at that.<br /><br />Like you, I believe that Jesus is alive and working in our behalf. I'm so glad and thankful for that because I firmly feel that we need him now more than ever! I think your table setting is very pretty, not a thing wrong with simple. I've always liked the Friendly Village pattern. :) Thank you for sharing, Vee, and have a blessed week.<br /><br />Warm hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-81899839187707221452015-04-08T12:47:52.570-04:002015-04-08T12:47:52.570-04:00Your beautiful tea cup set is precious filled with...Your beautiful tea cup set is precious filled with the Easter candy...yep, we bloggers do feed off ea other and I love that. :)<br />I missed dying eggs with grands this year...hoping we're not sick this time next year.

I can just see myself dipping my snack into the dye. You create the most beautiful home. It's a home that says "I'm glad you stopped in". The Easter wreath (cross with Easter lilies) is still on the door. I will probably leave it up for a while.

Clemens dishes has a facebook page entitled "For the love of Mildred." I have had so much fun chatting with other folks who collect Mildred dishes! Just the two of us for holidays but I so enjoy you sharing your time with family, especially the grands. I loved marbles as a young girl.
