Do it Over Designers - FABRIC


Our Do it Over Task this month was to use FABRIC.  I purchased a little fabric drawstring bag to use as an Easter gift bag and decided to paint it with a few strokes and dots.  This literally took 3 minutes at most !  And read further to see what. I put into the bag !

Easter Breakfast Table for 2

Once again I am joining Rita @ Panopy for a Tablescape Hop.  At the end of this post you will find the other participants, so hop around for some Spring inspiration!

We are heading to Disney with our girls and their families for Spring Break so we won't be having a traditional Easter this year.  This table was just set for a Sunday morning breakfast for just the two of us:


I placed the bunny plates on top of MacKenzie-Childs Royal Check dinner plates and paired them with matching napkins.


Dollar tree blue stemware and my hand painted champagne flutes coordinate well with the 'blues':


My 25 year old Dedham Pottery bunny, which was a gift from my BFF, sits in the center of the table:



A few Royal Checked flowers coordinate well with the dinner plates:


A simple setting for a breakfast of mini quiches and fruit!

Tales of the Traveling Tote #38


The Tales of the Traveling Tote is a series of adventures that share where our Mackenzie Childs tote bags have taken us.  Four times a year a group of bloggers each write a connected post about the places we have been.

On Feb 26, 2015, I proposed the idea of the Tales of the Traveling Tote to a few bloggers.  We have been a consistent group for 9 years while a few members have come and gone due to busy lives and/or "blogging retirement". (Linda G, Lea, Samantha, Katie and Cherry Kay). 

It is always fun to share our travels with you and we have met new many friends along the way. We also have given away almost 40 Mackenzie-Childs gifts throughout the years to thank our readers for following our tales.
 
I was recently recognized in the Charlotte airport with my Traveling Tote by a gal from Florida who follows our tales!  

We hope you enjoy The Tales of the Traveling Tote as much as we do!
