Hippity, Hoppity...The Secret Is OUT!

Hello dear friends! Can you believe that Easter is in 3 days? It sure came fast this year. With all of the doggy busy that has been going on at our home, I forgot to even post about Easter decorating. A few have politely reminded me of such, too. What was I thinking? Well, I just plain wasn't.

With camera in hand yesterday, I snapped some of our little Easter things tucked in here and there. So come along, I will show you.

Layers of vintage cake plates with my favorite chocolate Rabbits.....

....a little pink plaid bunny with a springy neck...boing...boing...

....my very favorite bunnies ~ Velveteen Rabbits and little vintage chicks ~ ....

....Miss Peeps with her wild wind-whipped hair ~ made by the ever-so-talented Lallee!....

....these are REAL and are at my friend's house ~ they look fake!....

....not really Easter-E, but had to share this cute little bluebird sweetie that I bought recently. He makes me smile!....
....an Easter - Summer bag I made and is available on ETSY....
...sweet stone chicks....
...on the left is an old McCoy pottery piece with little chicks all around it...

NOW I will let the cat out of the bag with my SECRET!! Nope, Michele, sadly enough it is not a trip over to visit you in England (someday though!). Nope, Maria, no International Travels.....

BUT!~~~~~~ drum roll please ~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~the little Millicent (on the left)~~~~
.....has been adopted by none other than MISS JEAN AND HER SWEETY, MR. S.!!!!....

Please visit Miss Jean for her sweet story about MISS MAGGIE DEAR (aka: Millicent).

I am just so HAPPY for the two of them because they have been wanting another Scotty Dog for so many years. Their beloved Marjorie passed on six years ago and since then their hearts have been lonely for her. Now Miss Maggie will bring them lots of love and puppy kisses and great joy! How I am so happy that their home will be filled puppy love!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!

(Mr. Finnegan is still at our home. My youngest son is falling in love with him...oh dear! He has adjusted rather smoothly not having his little Sis here. Doogs is accepting him more and they chase each other around and around.)

    Happy Easter. What beautiful Easter bunnies and nicknacks. Thanks for sharing.

    My department at work just shared our St. Patty's day lunch yesterday. It's hard to believe Easter's in the same week this year.

    Oh my gosh Becky! I'm going to have to stop visiting your blog. First I had to have one of Miss Kwitty's hearts and now I've gone and bought myself my own Miss Peepers. If I thought my cat would be nice, I'd come and get Finn too. Those puppies are adorable!!

    Oh, I got so excited with the revealed news I have tears in my eyes. What a joy for Miss Jean. I will head right over and tell her so. But first, let me say I adore all your Easter decorations. I can't get enough of chicks and bunnies this year and yours are all delightful. Of course, having little Scottie friends in the mix is even better.

    Hugs on this Good Friday,
    Lallee

    The pups are adorable, give them all a hug for me and Winston. And congratulations to Millicent on her new family!
