Eastery decor that's out

Well, 1 thing you'll learn about Beagle Run Cottage is we don't get all in a fuss about being perfect around here.  I try to put my best foot forward but usually am too busy trying to catch up on laundry.  I'm totally and utterly surrounded by perfection here in the Nasa Bay Area!!  I'm a mis-fit toy!!  Here is what I managed to put out.  I seem to always dream bigger than I can achieve.

I enjoyed most of the day out in the backyard on Monday.  We had a teacher~in~service day and me and lil guy picnic'd and sat out in the beautiful weather. 

I stuck a bunny from the front yard back here by my backdoor in this fun Spring planter.  I used the 2 cotton bowls that have been out here since fall.  Look at Jack Beagle watching the fun.  He wants that bunny.

Here comes Peter Cottontail...hoppin' down the bunny trail..

Hippity...Hoppity...Easter's on it's way!

Still in works but getting closer to spring decor here at my backdoor.

I love this tiny vignette to the left of my craft room desk.

At my front door.  Can ya'll see why I never get to show you this tabletop in perfection...it never happens?  I can only seem to perfect 1 little vignette at a corner at a time.  I have to keep a candy dish up here to keep the dozen neighbor kids from running all thru my house.  They all think they live here or something.

Looks like the Easter tree is not gonna happen this season even with all ya'lls gorgeous posts and my new egg house ornament.

I thought I'd put that lamb's ear in this lamb but instead I put some allysum.

The same day I played in the backyard I was making bunny baskets!!

I love to get gifts together.  The 2 bunnies went to prayer partners.

I have 2 "dumpster dives" to show ya'll today.  This potting bench was 2 doors down at the curb and I made hubby help me drag it to Beagle Run Cottage a number of years ago.

I stopped at my fav cottagey curb on the way home from baseball batting cages last night and put this in the back of my vehicle.  LOL!!  It looks just as aged as my door.  I still need to work all the details out here.  I want to hang a sign on it...BLOOM

I hid this little bowl in my craftroom so I would NOT put it in a basket to give.  We need some chocolate around here too.  I heard some bunny nibbles while oldest was waiting for carpool to show and now I realize he probably took a cadbury egg and I KNOW he ate a fruit roll-up.  I saw the paper fodder after he was gone.

Sneaky, naughty rabbit...kinda like our naughty beagle who eats the cat's food.  I better hide that little bowl better. 

Glare alert.  My high school friend stitched this and got bored of it.

It makes me think of this scripture I have on a t-shirt:

Behold, I tell you a mystery: 

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.

Now, my dears, you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden.

I got this sweet little picture for $1 at a resale shoppe.  The Potter image is on porcelain

I captured a bunny to mesmerize me when I'm sitting on the couch.  You'd think I'd get up and worry over the messy bookshelves and superglue the IKEA cabinet door back on.  Not happening yet.

Well, forgive the dust bunnies and unpreparedness and you'll be welcome to Beagle Run Cottage any ol' time!  Even when I know for weeks that I have a party date coming..no hoppin' around happenin'...

That's all Peeps!!

looks like they are building a pyramid to escape out the top hatch.
