The calendar says it is Spring…and it was a beautiful weekend. Today, not so much…rain. And the farm down the road did their Spring fertilizing, and believe me, more than the weather stunk!
I dragged all the Leprechauns down to the basement (kicking and wailing like Banshees) and brought up some of the Spring things.. Don’t have much for my table top yet, but I am joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life…and remember her cloche party on Apr. 2nd…
The Salt and Pepper shakers are Blue Robin’s eggs…I don’t have the Birds so many of you have, so maybe when these hatch I will have some..:)
The pitcher I got at Mikassa a few years ago..
So it would be nice to treat them to a steak, twice baked potato, onion ring and asparagus dinner I think! But I didn’t..shame on me!
Yesterday was my dear little gdau’s bday.
She asked me if I could make the cake one layer white,
one chocolate, iced in whipped cream and have pink writing…. But of course!
I didn’t get a good pic of the inside..sorry…
It has whipped cream and cherries in between the layers..
Time for tea…I borrowed Lily’s little silver tea set..and the cup is from my wedding china, Heather by Noritake.. The little chintz teapot and cup ornaments were a gift sent to me by a forum friend, Catie.. so cute!
I am sharing tea with Lady Katherine, Wanda at the The Plumed Pen, and Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses..Please join them for tea, pinkies raised!
Gail at Faithfulness Farm is having a 100th post give away, and Sue at Sullivan and Murphy is having a Blogaversary ..hop over!
Thank you for visiting!

Kathleen, I really like that giant Easter egg you used as a centerpiece - a unique piece. I have a bunny-pitcher as well but I like yours better - your bunny looks cuter! The birthday/Easter plates are wonderful - must have been nice to get something that wasn't St. Pat's themed! Your gdaughter knows how to "design" a cake and her gmother knows how to bake it! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteDD
Great bunny table! The birthday tea party for Lily is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have a tea pot lamp like that!
Katherine
Such a special cake for a very sweet little girl! I love your teapot lamp too!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathryn, those eggs with tulips are fantastic! I'm going to be on a search for one of those! Love your bunny pitcher, and your Easter plates are so cute. Of course, I want a bite of that cake. What a cute little tea set. laurie
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lot of leprechauns you had to haul too! Your party was a blast! I have never seen a tulip vase, that is beautiful. The food looks wonderful. And what great cake looks delish. And what a fun lamp. Good night to you!

YOur bunnies and eggs are just gorgeous. I love how the two eggs hold flowers. So pretty. Your tea service is beautiful and all the accessories are lovely. That birthday cake looks just yummy. I am with your GD, that is exactly the kind of cake I like. What a lucky little girl. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, just a beautiful and yummy looking post! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteBarb ♥
How inspiring! It's just beautiful Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table you've set today. I noticed that the cup of tea and some bubbles in it. My Mom always said that if you scooped out the bubbles with a spoon before they floated to the side of the cup that you would be getting some money. Thanks for that memory. I had forgotten all about it. I'm glad you joined the tea party today.
Hugs, Rhondi
Isn't it sweet when they make a very specific request for their birthday. You rock girlie!! I'd love to be Lily!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lovely, lovely post. Did you make that cake for your Grandaugther? It was beautiful. And it looked luscious.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit your sidebar recipes are kinda/sorta making me drool.
Great blog.
Happy Birthday, Lily! Hope you saved me a piece of that delicious looking cake.
ReplyDeleteI like the vase holding the beautiful tulips...but love the little silver tea service, how cute is that.
Her tea set and cake are adorable..Happy Bday..I still remember her dresses you bought her..remember..The Lily P ones?
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us share the fun of the birthday tea party!
ReplyDeleteLove all your Easter decorations!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that wishes do come true...sort of. Your egg salt and pepper shakers may not actually turn into the bird salt and pepper shakers but I did come across another set I had.
So please email me your address and I'll send them to you! My email is jk51958@yahoo.com
Hugs,
Joanne
I laughed thinking of you hauling the howling leprechauns off! Love your table and what a cake!!! What a lucky Birthday girl!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a lot going on. Getting those little green men into the basement must have been quite the chore. Love all of the egg vases from V&B. Can you believe I don't have a one.
ReplyDeleteSure hope Miss Lily enjoyed her special order cake! Thanks for the delivery.

Kathleen I cannot keep up with you! The birthday dinner looks wonderful. I love the tea set and I know the cake was delicious, too.

I'm not sure where to start, but everything is so pretty. The bunny pitcher is so cute and the teapot lamp is great. I love the tiny teapot and cup and now I'll have to go back and look again!!!

Lucky Lily that her Nana made her such a tasty looking and pretty cake. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, your spring table and accessories make me smile. I'm so over winter even though we still have snow here.
I love the BIG EGG, very versatile and a great centerpiece.
What a very sweet grandma you are, Kathleen! Lily's birthday cake looks delicious and oh, so pretty. It's time to bring out the spring things and start getting ready for Easter. It's nice to be home.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late to the party, but I hope you saved me a small piece of cake! Happy Birthday to Lily! I'm sure she knows what a wonderful Nana she has.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Lily! The cake you made her looked scrumptious!

Okay, the answer is yes! I can see the flower frog much better with the tulips. So cute!
