Happy Easter and Welcome Spring!

Sharing an Easter Prayer with wishes sent to me and sharing it with you.



Join me for a cup of tea, and lets read The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.



Spring is here and a few of my bunny friends strike a pose for you.

Oh look, the bunnies brought some pastel eggs!



These sweet bunny friends share gorgeous Easter Lillies with us too.

Sharing the card inside with a verse of joy!

I will be busy in the studio painting and creating many new treasures coming soon.


Like this painting bunny, I'll be swinging my paint brushes and thankful to have a job I love. God is always so good!
Blessings and see you soon.
Happy Easter my friends.

HAPPY EASTER! and 100th POST GIVEAWAY!!!

High time I get here, right? Well I have been very MIA trying to finish orders and work home projects at the same time, I just don't know how all you wonderful blogging friends find time to post so much. What is your secret?

Being Easter week, this beautiful time finds me balancing holiday and home along with planning a trip to New Jersey and New York. It is a working vacation of sorts with DH speaking at a seminar and myself meeting a client, turned good friend, whom I have been working a year long custom order for. I am so excited to meet her, if all works out. This all takes place May 1st. We will also go into New York to see Phantom on Broadway and dinner. So excited about this as we really need a get away.

When I return, I am excited to have Sherry from Edie Marie's Attic visit along with her daughter in law Chris and Linda from Linda's Bluegate. What fun. Sherry has been planning this trip with her DIL for some time and they will Amtrak here from Ohio. What a great trip they have planned and I am so excited to be on their list of stops. If anyone of you are near my area and would like to join us, let me know. Just send me an email.

100~~~100~~~100~~~

AND, since this is my 100th post I will have the girls do the drawing for my Spring Surprise giveaway on May 9th. Yes, I said surprise. I will reveal the winner on Mother's Day. All you have to do is comment on this post and any others between now and then, be an active blogger and able to supply me your address for shipping your winning gift. Easy right? If you comment on all posts I will enter your name in as many times as you comment. Fun!!! I know that most of you have posted twice as much as I have in this length of time, but for me, this is a milestone.

In the mean time, I am finishing my large year long special custom and finishing up my garden redesign, which has about 3 more days till finished. There is something so wonderful for me to work in the earth and baby my flowers. All my interior design background goes into play in the garden as I seem to work it like the inside with decorative touches and layout. Can't help it, in the blood I guess! LOL! More pictures to follow when finished.

Recently I purchased a few new goodies that add personality to my shabby Tuscan villa cottage. Here is a gorgeous collage from Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage with sweet umbrella chicks she sent for my birthday. The details and colors are perfect.

Betzie from Time Enough makes these wonderful designer soaps and I just had to have more after the first set she sent. This group is pink with sparkles and looks amazing in our master bath displayed on a gorgeous rose platter purchased from Stephanie of Angelic Accents. Betzie, I added my 4 leaf clover pin to the shoe. Isn't it pretty?

Sharing some decorative touches~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My cross collection.

Spring Tea Set.

Italian bunny couple! Sweet birdie and Egg tree meets Tuscan country!


Vintage hand painted egg set I painted many years ago. A bit of whimsy to make a home complete!

With Easter upon us, I want to take this time to wish each and everyone a special holiday season and wonderful Springtime with blessings and many joys with your family and friends. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for this 100th post. Time has flown by so fast since I have begun to blog my studio and art shoppe designs. My greatest joy has been to meet and make friends with so many special people around the country and abroad. Thank you for making my first 100 posts fun. Your comments are always welcome and I answer each and everyone the best I can.

Good Luck!!!




Happy Easter Everyone~~~~~~~~~~

Blessings Always, Celestina Marie

DECORATING FOR SPRING

As the sweet little blue bird gathers roses to adorn her nest, she dreams of her young yet to be born. Busily she fluffs and fills their home with just the right materials to provide comfort and security for her little family.

Home Sweet Home, filled with the beauty of nature and accented with roses trailing along the twigs and branches.


Hand painted on two small porcelain lace edge hearts and ready to hang in a sweet display.

Looking forward to spring has me painting new designs and happy to be in the studio each day. This design and more will be offered in my etsy boutique.
I know it is cold for many and still winter, but like the sweet little bird, we can dream of warmer days ahead and begin to adorn our nest.
See you again soon. Blessings and Blue Skies be yours, Celestina Marie
