Easter is just a week away and this past week I put together this 5 minute-to-make Easter Bunny basket. Here’s how to create this Momma and Baby Bunny basket…
Supplies you will need
a pretty basket to create your Easter centerpiece with
a momma and baby bunny or any other bunnies you may have
plastic eggs for color and filler
a cake plate or stand to raise the bunnies
green moss to line the bottom and sides of the basket
faux or dried flowers to create a meadow-like setting
Add sheet moss or clumps of moss around the bottom and up the sides, if desired. Next, place your cake plate in the basket. This cake plate is placed off to the side because of the handle in the middle.
Place the bunnies in next and begin adding flowers to your basket.
Bend the wires of each stem unless you wish to cut them. I reuse my faux flowers all the time so this works for most of my stylings.
Add in some colorful plastic, blown or any other decorated Easter eggs you may have in your craft and holiday supplies… And you are done!
A quick 5 minute Easter Bunny Basket centerpiece to grace your Easter table…

Come back tomorrow to see how I’ve used this centerpiece in a Easter table setting. Wishing you the best of health and happiness this Easter season!

Beauty is all around and it isn’t always easy changing and beginning something new. I thank God everyday for giving us new chances. With that I have a small home tour for you today…
The garden is coming along and I’ll share more later this week or early next. Mr. Ethereal and I have been working on several projects outside such as cleaning out gutters and installing gutter guards to prevent leaves and acorns from filling them up, fixing the back fence and gate, as well as making the back flowerbed.
Thankfully we have had plenty of rain each week or two so our grass is green, the plants are well watered and the new Apello solar sound vole repellents seem to be driving the voles away.
Later today I will be driving down to visit our daughter for a few days. We plan to visit a couple of gardens down in Austin, Texas and I am looking forward to sharing them with you!
spring blooms with summer photos coming.
So without further ado let’s head back indoors, shall we?
In the living room the library tea table is getting an update with the addition of this favorite plate stand. Everything still has a soft patriotic theme with the pinks, whites and blues.
Hubby helped me hang up the curtain rod we brought from California along with my favorite lace curtains in our bedroom.
I’ll share those the next time as right now while working in the craft/sewing room, a mattress is back in our bedroom… Which is why I can’t reshoot the bedroom and share the whole thing.
Always the way, isn’t it? Lol.
Not too perfect ~ casually wrinkled and perfectly pink! I am still deciding what I want to hang above the bed which is why nothing is there yet. I’d love to find a French corona to hang bed curtains from but that’s a hit and a miss and may require a trip somewhere far away to find.
;D
This is how we had our last bedroom after buying the California king mattress and our daughter taking the cherry bedframe and headboard. She still loves it, btw!
Good news! Our trailer is up for sale and hopefully it will sell soon. Hubby and I do talk about taking a nice trip overseas to Italy and France and it would be sooo nice for our 35th wedding anniversary coming up in two years… But we will need to save for it, of course.
This vintage rabbit lamp I found at an antique store years ago in Redlands, California and it is a favorite. Surprisingly we don’t need that many lamps and many will be sold at our first Texas garage sale.
Right now though I am looking for a lamp shade to match this one for the lamp on hubby’s bedside table ~ no luck so far.
Any ideas on where to look? Maybe I just need to find a shade with the same coloring and similar shape.
Taken about a month after our household goods were delivered.
The attic space is getting cleaned and shelves are going up so this large box and the wicker trunk will be heading up shortly. There isn’t really a spot for this wicker trunk downstairs right now and it was one of my first purchases from my very first job.
I found it at Cost-Plus World Market when it was a new store in the late 1970’s. I am not willing to part with it just yet… It was the hope chest I kept at the end of my double bed in high school.
Our fair maiden graces enjoys the afternoon sunshine.
Welcome and Happy Sunday! When I began blogging almost five years ago now I started a Sunday post called Sunday Sentiments… Then Mr. Ethereal lost his job just as my blog was barely getting going and I was devastated. I felt God had pulled the rug out from under me but probably it was more that He propped me up during that time. And it was You Know Who up to his usual worldly tricks…
As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.” — Mark 14:22 NLT
God has always been there for Charles and myself through the four times Charles has been laid off (economic turndowns in warehouse management; not for the faint of heart) and the couple of times that I lost mine over these past 33 years.
I accepted Christ at 11 years old when my parents stopped attending the Catholic church ~ my deaf brother Frank and I found our way along with the Presbyterians then. And we are ever glad that we did!
This summer as a renewed section to my blog, I thought I’d start up Sunday Sentiments again. Not to help heal everyone’s wounds, because in myself I can’t, but to help lead you to the One who can…
God brings great joy after terrible sorrow…
If an abused dog adopted from a shelter, one who bit and hurt his owners because he (the dog) thought they were competing for his food, or for love, care and comfort, can learn to love and feel secure ~ so can you.
We all hurt. Life IS hurt, and trials. Being a Christian ~ no one said it would be easy. Just looking at the lives of the Apostles they all died for Christ but the rewards were great. They knew where they were going and what they stood for. 🙂
God gives comfort and strength to face those challenges and then…
The Son comes out and we are happy and whole again!
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.18Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
John 21:15-19, New International Version (NIV)
If you have never asked Jesus into your heart, this is a simple prayer taken from one of my favorite authors. I am sure that she, Jan Karon, wouldn’t mind me sharing it with you.
Spoken by the main character of her Mitford series of books, Father Timothy Kavanagh ~ from Bathed in Prayer:Father Tim’s Prayers, Sermons, and Reflections from the Mitford Series.
‘Have you asked Him to forgive the things you’ve done?’
‘I assure you that God would not want to do that.’
‘Believe it or not, I can promise that He would. In fact, He promises that He will. Would you like to ask Him into your life?’
The stranger stared into the darkened sanctuary. ‘I can’t do it,
I’ve tried.’
It isn’t a test you have to pass. It doesn’t require discipline and intelligence… nor even strength and perseverance. It only requires faith.’
‘I don’t think I’ve got that.’ There was a long silence. ‘But I’d be willing to try… one more time.’
‘Will you pray a simple prayer with me? On faith?’
‘What do I have to lose?’
‘Nothing to lose, everything to gain.’ Father Tim rose from the kneeler and took the short step across the aisle, where he laid his hands on the man’s head.
‘If you could repeat this,’ he said. ‘Thank you, God, for loving me, and for sending your Son to die for my sins. I sincerely repent of my sins, and receive Christ as my personal savior. Now, as your child, I turn my entire life over to you. Amen.’*
The man repeated the prayer, and they were silent.
‘Is that all?’ he asked the rector.
‘That’s all.’
‘I don’t know what I am supposed to feel.’
‘Whatever you feel is exactly what you’re supposed to feel.’
chapter 11, A White Thanksgiving, At Home in Mitford
*Italics are added for emphasis, by me.
It isn’t Christmas today but if you just accepted Christ into your heart, you may feel like it is! For any of us renewing our faith, or just feeling happy being a sister or brother in Christ, it’s always Christmas!
Let’s look at those numbers again, shall we?
We are married 33 years this year ~ the same number of years Jesus was when he died on a cross to be our propitiation ~ to take our wages for sin upon himself. He went in our place; that’s grace.
Today is the 16th of June and my grandmother Helen’s birthdate. She would have been 110 years old, had she lived this long. This week also marks the week my father died, on the 12th of June 1997. The 12th is the date I sat down and began this Sunday Sentiments with the Holy Spirit for you.
Just some extra cool “coincidences” for you. 😉 Welcome to Sunday Sentiments…
part of this month’s Pinterest Challenge. I’d love for you to
stop by and check out both of these posts. So much great
door decor has been created all this month’s participants and
by our host Cindy of County Road 407!
Great ideas for you to copy and adapt!
So let’s get to this week’s wonderful features
shall we?!
With Easter and Passion week just last week I believe another look is so appropriate… Therefore a few more Easter and bunny posts will feature this week.
Jeanne at her blog of the same name JeanneSelep.blogspot.com
shared the beautiful rosette window pre-fire which was saved during the fire at Notre Dame this past week.
***
Please pray for all those who have loved and are affected by the terrible fire which happened in this very old and beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France, won’t you?
Many of you have toured this 850 year old church with its flying buttresses holding up its walls and though I have not, the faith we have, not in those relics and this church (and so many other houses of worship) but the comfort those pieces and places give us…
Notre Dame and the significance it has and has had on our fallen world remind us to continue “looking for the good” and to what the Son of Man went through to save this world from itself.
🙂
Fabiana who lives in Ecuador and writes Fabby’s Living shared this beautiful table set for Easter for all the family and company she had coming over. Simple beauty with sweet rabbits surrounding a gilded goblet and eggs nestled into sherbet glasses.
Simple and stunning!
I am on a bit of a tablescape kick lately as I love creating beautiful table settings for you all and for my family. Here is a stunning table from Sandra over at Dinner at Eight ~ love her Fitz and Floyd Easter rabbit in it’s Easter garden! And look at that tablecloth!!!
Love the Easter grass placemats…
Michele from the Scrap Shoppe Blog shares a round-up of Easter projects that we all can make now for next year and/or put on our Pinterest save boards for next year ~ adorable!!!
And since this is French Ethereal here in an Honorable Mention for the week ~ from Stephanie at The Style Safari who is planning a trip to France in May and is making some clothes for her trip. Check out her blog for her creative clothing creations!
That’s it for this week, folks! Thank you to everyone who linked up last week and be sure to visit a few partiers while you are here and if you’ll pin my Share Your Style links as well, I send you bunny hugs through the airwaves!
We all appreciate the love!

And just a quick reminder of the party rules:
This link party is geared towards home decor, recipes, gardening and related. I know many of you have so much to say about many other things, but here it’s always going to be a party towards life in the home.
I would appreciate a link back to your blog, too. Thank you! 🙂
MerryChristmas to you! As I sit here late on Christmas Eve after a busy week-plus of visiting friends while also looking at houses with my hubby for our potential next home, it is nice to sit down and rest in the quiet of a late evening thinking about the birth of our Savior…
“I’m dreaming tonight of a place long, long ago…,” the song sung by Karen Carpenter so timeless and oft-played on the radio this time of year, is quietly drifting through my sleepy head now after putting out the last of the hidden Christmas gifts.
Memories of Christmases past bring back warm, happy thoughts of Christmas Eve services held by candlelight and the special message of Jesus’ birth
in a stable in Bethlehem.
One of our last Christmases in our Big House ~ love this Italian Nativity found long ago at Costco when it was Price Club, remember that? The pillow on the couch is an old J.C. Penney find.
So just a few thoughts here before heading to bed…
And today I looked again for the new Nativity to bring over and set out but it is not to be found this year…
But I do have this lovely Mary and Baby Jesus…
So this is our special Nativity this year to help remember the birth of our Lord.
Simple with its message of Love…
The looked-for Nativity in last year’s photo ~ love the Old World feel. Beautiful and beatific!
May He comfort you and be your guide in this crazy journey called life!
Share Your Style will post up on Wednesday but otherwise I am taking some time off for the Christmas season and will be back after the New Year.
My former home’s backyard garden in Murrieta, California the year before we sold our home.
Giving Thanks
We have much to be grateful for ~ the least of which
is that we weren’t homeless over the past two
years while Hubby was out of his normal work.
We made it through having to sell what I thought
was our “forever home” and instead took up
a slightly nomadic life
living in a 27′ Coleman travel trailer for about
1 1/2 years before we traded it in for our new 41′ fifth wheel which we love for its room!
Looking west over neighboring rv’s here in North Central Texas.
Just a few photos from earlier this fall of my
kitchen and dining areas.
The lemon poppy seed cake on the back counter
is one I often bake when having friends
over for tea.
The garden area in September just after putting in the little square stepping stones.
Our little prairie rv home
This is the garden area just outside our fifth-wheel.
We had no “pop-outs” on the previous trailer so we were
really cramped and constantly having to move a box
to sit down to eat, watch tv, to do anything.
In this beauty, we have the luxury of five slides which makes
the inside about 16′ wide throughout most of the trailer.
It is really a small apartment in many ways.
We are staying nomadic for just a little while longer as we
begin looking for land and a house.
🙂
My friend Peggy came for an impromptu tea one day recently.
“One is silver and the Other is gold”
I am thankful also for my “old friends” in California, whom I can visit with anytime via Facebook and Instagram, and I am thankful for the “new friends” I have made since moving here to Texas. I believe God has provided for this need for friendship with park owners who really care in every sense of the word for the people and animals who live here.
Little Skidboot at his first shearing. He is one of 13 alpacas here at Wagon Master RV Park and Alpaca Farm, Sanger, Texas.
It is a great blessing for everyone here, whether as short-term campers or as extended-stay residents, to be able to stay here. The owners really act as caretakers of the land and have a heart for people. 🙂
A tablesetting I did earlier this fall.
New beginnings We are grateful for a chance to start over and work on rebuilding our nest egg. We also are rebuilding our household ~ of which this “prairie home fifth-wheel” is a big part. Traveling to new places as I work on making my little blog into a real business is also an exciting part of the new here in Texas! I am grateful for the chance to do something I love full-time. 🙂
A recent Thanksgiving tablesetting with pumpkins and pansies.
Grateful for the little things Mostly I am grateful for all the little things which have “coincidentally happened” this past year… Our daughter moving to Texas before we did to move out and live with her friend then… my husband finding and getting his new position also here in Texas. Or like last Christmas time when I found a J Broadhurst Constable series set of china minus the lid for the teapot in an antique mall I just happened to visit for the first time. It had been in my heart for many years to have a set of pinkish-red china like this as it so beautiful to me. God knew it and led me to it! Of this, I have no doubt. Lastly, for meeting a new group of friends and a Bible study being offered here at the park and farm by a new wonderful friend.
Coincidence?
I don’t think these things are coincidences.
I believe they are gifts and blessings from our
Great Creator.
I hope you do, too.
😉
Our kitchen table set for a little Thanksgiving tea!
😀 Many blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving… Please enjoy visiting with all of the lovely ladies who are linking up today. There are many wonderful and inspirational tablesettings and ideas out there for your holiday decorating…

One of the stories Emilie wrote about in this book was
about her mother and how as Emilie was growing up
they lived for a time at the back of her
mother’s seamstress shop.
When it was quiet in the shop, her mother
would often take customers back
for a cup of tea.
This woman lived out her faith daily
sharing with customers and eventually
with her neighbors in
her later years.
I loved how Emilie wove her family
her love of Jesus
and poetry and quotes about tea
throughout this book!
In all of Emilie Barnes’ books she shares
Biblical scriptures and principles
to help us learn about
Jesus and about
how having faith in our
daily lives is the best comforter
we could ever have.
Sometimes during the late 1990’s
I wrote Ms. Barnes to let her know how
much her books meant to me
and that If Teacups Could Talk
helped renew my faith in God.
She wrote a lovely letter back
which I have with all
my keepsake letters.
Here is a pin I saved sharing another of
Sandy Lynam Clough’s
gorgeous tea artwork which was
soooo pretty and perfect
paired with Emilie’s books.
Part of my Mother’s Day gift from my husband back around 2002 when I visited Macy’s in Costa Mesa, California for a china signing with Sarah, the Duchess of York.
If you are thinking of a gift for a friend
do consider giving the gift of tea…
If Teacups Could Talk
or
any of Emilie Barnes’ other books on
hostessing a tea party.
Emilie’s books are printed through
Harvest House Publishers.

This photo is a bit over-lightened but I need to lighten to share this quilt as this room is a bit dark.
When I first visited my friend Peggy
we took a tour around her lovely home
decorated with family antiques
and wonderful vintage
family photos and also these
soft and sentimental scripture quilts
she had sewn.
A friend of hers had made some and Peggy
had seen them and asked if she could
get a pattern to make
some scripture blocks.
These first squares ended up being the
beginnings of three quilts
she has made for her husband
and adult children.
More are on the way, too.
😉
I love how this room is decorated with many lifetimes of passed-down family heirlooms ~ taken with my old iPhone 5.
Quilts blocks based on biblical stories have been
made since women began making quilts
however
these more modern scripture quilts with
scripture quotes written in a
family members’ handwriting are
a relatively new idea.
I saved a number of biblical and scripture pieces out onto my
Pinterest Faith board
if you’d like to stop by there
and take a look.
Love the tea dyed quilt block to match the variegated cottons prints used for the rest of the quilt. This quilt was presented to Peggy’s husband Tony for his birthday one year.
These quilts are a nice way to keep family members
close especially when everyone lives are so busy
and many of us live far away
from our family
and hardly have time to get together
much except during the holidays.
These quilts also a wonderful way to remember
a family member who has “gone on home.
A fun idea is to have each family member
write out their favorite scripture verse
and sign his or her name along the
bottom edge above where
the seamline would be.
This could be a great thing to do over
Thanksgiving while the turkey is cooking
or at a family summer BBQ.
A station to set up in your backyard while
everyone is together celebrating.
Also, this idea could be easily adapted to
other types of handwritten quilts.
Be sure to sign your quilt when it is done
and this separate quilt block
looks lovely placed on the
back of a quilt.
Drawn “square” is the “cut out block.” The center horizontal and vertical axes are drawn first.
How to make a Scripture Quilt Block
Supplies needed
*parchment paper
*pencil
*ruler or straight edge
*markers to draw over pencil lines
*permanent marker in black or favorite color
to use for final handwritten block. *muslin washed and dried ~ cut to size of final quilt block(s) plus seam allowance.
Instructions
*Begin with cut squares from parchment paper
in the size you need for your quilt block plus 1/2″ around all four sides for the seam allowance. Also cut out actual muslin
*On your computer, type out your scripture verse(s).
*Print the verse onto regular computer paper
large enough with roughly 3/4″ intervals
between each drawn line.
{leaving about 1/2″ of open space between lines of words}
*Adjust your printing and reprint as needed making the spacing to your liking.
I used 1″ spacing on the photos above and that
was too much, so I re-drew the lines to half-inch spacing.That worked better.
3/4″ I think is what the ones which
Peggy made were measured.
When you create your own scripture quilt blocks,
play around with the computer font sizes. The above printout would need to be re-spaced on the computer accordingly. {see how it doesn’t quite fit?} This is just a template anyway and your handwriting can be adjusted as you create each scripture block. Play around with each one until each looks right to you.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from ourselves it is a gift from God —(9) not by works, so that no one can boast. ~ Ephesians 2: 8-9
Instructions continued
*Place the typed paper underneath the parchment paper that has had center lines drawn horizontally and vertically on them.
*Draw as many horizontal lines
above and below the first centered line ~
enough for your whole scripture quote.
*Align the typed sheet underneath the parchment paper adjusting the centers of each line until it looks centered. Tape down both papers as needed. *Write out your verses in a dark marker on the parchment.
*Lay out your thin muslin over top. If available, use a light board or projector underneath to light the words. If that’s not available? Press down firmly on the muslin to make the marker show through for copying. ***Practice writing out your verses on a scrap of muslin first using a fine-point permanent marker. 😉
Sew your scripture quilt blocks together with other lightweight cotton strips to create your quilt in whatever design you’ve chosen. Oh, and don’t forget to sign your beautiful quilt by placing a special quilt block with a heart-felt message on the back. Enjoy! Blessings to you, Barb 🙂

Since this is the Lord’s special day I was thinking of how we are to be fishers of men…
I’m not a good fisherman in fact I’ve hardly fished for real fish at all though I love to eat fish! And I’m a regular fraidy~cat when it comes to talking to people about Jesus which really makes no sense at all because Jesus Himself is not scary. 😉
Beautiful lily pads down at my parents’ 1/2 acre pond at their final home in Connecticut ~ roughly 2010.
But a lot of people are afraid of Jesus and mostly because of us Christians who say something wrong or do something that shows our weaknesses and shows us as hypocritical. I’m sorry for that, for my wrong actions and sayings.
But Jesus isn’t hypocritical ~ He did what He set out to do: to save a world from themselves. To save us from our sins by taking our place dying on a cross. The ultimate sacrifice for an imperfect world ~ Grace and Peace.
All we have to do is believe on Him ask for forgiveness for what we’ve done and follow His lead and read God’s Word so we know how to live: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth B.I.B.L.E

Love
He has for us.

“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
17After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.18For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” Luke 22:15-18 NIV
He broke the bread, gave thanks to God,
then said:
“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19
“Little Robin Red Breast”… a story told that the robin got its red breast because it went up to Jesus on the cross to look upon Him and pierced itself on the crown of thorns upon His head. From a book I received as a child from the Catholic church we attended on base in Massachusetts, 1967-1970.
Later on, Roman soldiers arrested
Jesus and took him to see
Pilot and Herod.
Jesus was not found guilty of anything
but Pilot put it before the people to decide
whom to let free.
They chose another…
The Rose ~ representing the crown of thorns. See? The rose weeps and bows its head because it knows…
So why Jesus?
Yeshua* in the Hebrew and translated
in English as Joshua {Jesus is the transliteration
of the Greek Iesous} was led away
to the cross.
God sent his son
to be the propitiation
or substitute
taking our place and dying our final death
for us as we are separated from God
because
of our sin.
Jesus is the bridge ~
the go between.
Our bodies are to
die once but not a
second time in Hell ~ because we are Believers.
As followers of Christ Jesus.
“The Way” ~ the original name
which came to be
“Christian.”
Meaning…
“Christ-like.”
