Love your Easter tables - so pretty and your menu sounds delicious. Glad that spring has caught up with you there, too. I love the daisy bridal shower ideas and the colors are very pretty - glad you chose the robin's egg blue. It's so generous of you to devote your time and talents and I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated. It's such a satisfying feeling when you get things organized, isn't it? Too funny about the knitting class. I once showed up to a craft class without my glasses......it didn't go well :) xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-63637552025418899182017-04-27T20:15:29.139-04:002017-04-27T20:15:29.139-04:00Hey There, Well firstly, take care of your back, y...Hey There, Well firstly, take care of your back, your gonna need it!

My favorite color is that light aqua and everything will look beautiful I am sure! Wow! you sure have been busy. I was a bit disappointed this year in my Easter table. Frankly, I was not really into it. My daughter and family went to Florida and so there was only my sister and her two kids, my husband and son, and a friend of ours who had no place to have dinner. So, I did not put forth much effort in my Easter decor...my own fault. I am trying to start my Spring cleaning, but I can only do bits at a time and then i get distracted!! Anyway, your post was really a happy one and it made me feel like I want to get moving around here also!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576022783071536981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-43333248407319011672017-04-24T11:06:20.080-04:002017-04-24T11:06:20.080-04:00Wow Deborah, your tables set for Easter are beauti...Wow Deborah, your tables set for Easter are beautiful! Tulips are so pretty and so springy! I made little baskets for everyone too! I have to say that I have one of those closets too and I bet it beats yours though I have been working on it a little at a time! It's so overwhelming but I decided to tackle a little each week, box it up and get it out of the house! The first week my husband took 3 large bags to the Planet Aid box! I suspect there are many more bags to export! What fun decorations for the shower! I love the daisy theme! So sweet! Have fun with it!<br />xo<br />LindaLinda Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812556446959019991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-56096131341527982632017-04-24T10:20:10.214-04:002017-04-24T10:20:10.214-04:00Your tables look gorgeous...love the beautiful tul...Your tables look gorgeous...love the beautiful tulips!

I often think of your 333 Project. :)<br />Yes, use that fabric - it's gorgeous! I would've voted for that robin egg blue over the other, even before I saw the bride's kitchen utensil color. You do such a great job with your decor, Deborah. I kept remembering your last shower when I was preparing for my niece's Tiffany shower in early March. You were actually an inspiration to go the extra distance in making things special for my niece.<br />Our tulip magnolias in the neighborhood bloomed in February this year, then in March they were literally freeze-dried on the branches. It actually made for an easier clean up of the petals once they fell...they were crunchy, like fall leaves instead of moist petals. I love spring, and hearing about your northern region just makes it feel like a a great show's encore.

My home is chaotic to say the least at the moment we are living in box paradise. Sadly Spring has not reached this little island yet.

Good for you in getting organized. It can ebb and flow. It is usually spur of the moment for me...I get tired of stuffing sheets in the linen closet so I overhaul it. I can't find something in my purse so I jump it out and get it in order. Planning projects just sometimes don't happen or me!<br /><br />Your Easter place settings and menu sound lovely! I've never made lamb and the kebobs sound fantastic!<br /><br />I think the daisy themed wedding is wonderful. I really like the fabric and if I can say, I'd choose it over the napkins. Paper goods never go to waste and you might just stumble on the perfect shade of blue. Maybe Google some of the large party supply stores? Good luck, you're so creative and I know you will come up with something great.<br /><br />I hope your back feels better. I have the sort of back problem where it simply slides out of place with no real incident. And then I'm immobile until the inflammation goes down. I always thought it was an exaggeration that we start to go downhill in middle age as far as health, but I'm learning every day that we do, often without warning!!<br /><br />Have a good week and feel better.<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-65749738451332557782017-04-23T20:38:14.387-04:002017-04-23T20:38:14.387-04:00Well, you have been one busy woman and I love your...Well, you have been one busy woman and I love your Easter tablescapes, so lovely!
