Spring Has Sprung

-
Well, the weather here's been nice a couple of days in a row (highs in the upper 60's yesterday) so I am finally, slowly getting out the spring decor. With Easter right around the corner, I started with the bunnies.I got this idea from somewhere but can't remember where - magazine, blog, website? If you know, please comment so I can give credit where credit is due! I used my favorite trifle bowl and will replace the plastic eggs with real ones we decorate this afternoon.

UPDATE: I slept on it and remembered where I'd seen the bunny Peeps idea: it was on Karen's blog, here - the 4th photo down! Thank you Karen for the inspiration!

Remember when these bunny-shaped pillows were popular? I made this one about 15 years ago from my very first cutter quilt.

Same story, different shape and fabric; this is new (well, vintage now!) fabric with vintage buttons.

I've filled the jellybean jars, too. It's beginning to feel like alot like Easter.

I can't get over the ingenuity of that trifle bowl! I have the same one and to think how cute you can make it for such a small amount of cash! Thanks for posting this Laurie.

Debby, Oh, I love how yours came out. I thought that was an adorable idea in that candy shop. Your bunnies are wonderful too.

Happy Easter.

P residing over the beautiful home was a lovely lady... S he was a kind and attentive hostess, inviting me to take tea with her, and serving it in a wonderfully appointed room, using the finest china so that I felt like a Queen... W e spoke of beaut...

A new year

I hope this year will be much easier than the last one, for everyone I know.  I also want to say I'm sorry for not updating this blog since the end of October!  The end of the year was perhaps the worst of it; I'm not able to fake it very well, so instead of coming here and trying to be cheerful, I just don't come here! That's not to say we didn't have lovely holidays despite it all; we did! Here in Colorado January is off to a cold start; even though we get to see the sun on some of the chillier days, it's not possible to hang around outdoors. A frozen fountain I became ill shortly after the new year and continue to struggle with stuff (nothing real serious); I am looking forward to things being back to normal, so I can feel WELL and go back to the gym and have energy to spare! I don't think I posted about it here, but we did get a new kitten to keep Art company after he pined and paced over Paul Simon.  We thought we were getting a little boy...

One World, One Heart 2011

Hello, world!  Welcome to my blog!   My name is Laurie, and I call my blog "Indulge Your Shelf" because I often post about the pretty things that catch my eye at antique stores, thrift shops, estate sales, street fairs, flea markets and the like -- and end up on my shelf at home, or in my Etsy shop by the same name !  My maternal grandmother had a great love for pretty old things, and it was she who taught me to rummage for treasures in thrift shops, to collect what I love, to sew, and to embroider.  And, that's another thing I write about often on my blog: creating! I love to sew and re-purpose vintage and antique linens into pillows and sachets, plus, I do a little bit of crazy quilting (and sane quilting, too); and, lately I'm big into paper crafting with ephemera.  In fact, I probably do paper art more than sewing these days.  I also do some regular, special event scrap booking.   I love paper -- the older the better!  I collect many small...
