Easter Baskets


Easter baskets come in all sizes and shapes....some are filled with pretty colored eggs,  some are filled with candy...some with cute little stuffed bunnies...but what about us "big" girls...we want an Easter basket too!  
My "dream" Easter basket would be filled....
with dozens......
and  dozens....of beautiful roses!

It would also have gorgeous lace bows.....

It would be in a large vintage wicker basket.....

and did I mention that my basket would have lots of roses in it.....lol!
I think I enjoy all the Easter bunnies and spring flowers as much as the little ones do.....

Maybe more.....

A hot cup of tea is just what I need today......

It was 80 degrees here in New Mexico yesterday.....
and this is what we woke up to this morning.....the weather has been so crazy this year!

  1. What a lovely idea to have roses for grownups in a basket! Your sweet bunnies on the piano holding the Easter banner is precious. The teapot is pretty with the creamer and sugar bowl. Have a cup of tea to warm you up and dream of warm weather!

  3. Gorgeous Easter basket for big girls, Penny. Look at that snow. We woke up to 2" of snow this morning-more coming tonight and a high of 33 degrees today. Crazy weather- xo Diana

  7. SNOW!?!?! The only snow I see here is far off on the mountains! Seems funny to see snow in spring. The baskets are lovely! You would probably love to have some of the tulips I saw (and are on my blog) in those flower arrangements! They really pop!

  8. Here in central Alaska it was over 50 degrees today........... And my driveway, which has been a skating rink for a month, turned to slush... and mud. Hard to believe you had snow!

    Your idea of a basket for adults is perfect! (well, you could squeeze a couple chocolate bunnies in their somewhere.lol)

  15. The snow gives your home the look of a Fairy Tale cottage! Sweetie, we are little girls at heart...and I hope we never ever grow up! I love living in my Fairy Tale world and now I get to live in yours! Isn't life wonderful when you live in the land of real life fantasy...my home is a refuge for me. I think yours is one for you also. :) I love your dream like Easter Basket.
