Today, the last of the pre-Easter posts with some photos of my putz sheep and spun cotton rabbits:
Starting from the left…
This mantel shelf is too long to get in one shot. I could do it, but you wouldn’t be able to get any details on the sheep. So I do it in sections.
The sheep wearing a “Vignettes or Bust” sign was a gift from dear Lori, the owner of Vignettes in San Diego. It was a complete surprise. The sheep on the left was a gift from dear Judy. I think I missed the one on the right, we only see the hind end. Sorry!
Next…this section includes The Lamb with the Party Hat, the symbol of this blog. She was my first putz sheep, found 15 years ago when I was coaching in California.
More little sheep.
And more putz sheep, along with some sheep that wandered over to join the group .
Seven of these sheep were a gift from dear Helga, a follower of my blog who lives in Germany. They arrived in the mail on the same day we got our first vaccination for Covid. What a day! Helga has an incredible collection of putz sheep. She also has a beautifully decorated Beacon Hill dollhouse, and she lives on a gorgeous piece of property.
And, finally…
My spun cotton bunny rabbits from Vintage by Crystal.
Decorating for Easter is such fun! I love all the pastel colors and the little rabbits and birds and ducks and chicks.
If I were to rename this cottage, it would be “The House of Whimsy.”
Maybe it should be:ย ย Mockingbird Hill Cottage (The House of Whimsy.)
Don’s car is back home, my car passed its inspection, Don has a busy week ahead with a wardrobe fitting in NYC on Monday and then a long day of filming on Wednesday. SO…we’re taking it easy this weekend. I may start to prune some bushes since it will be sunny today and Sunday. We don’t make a special meal for Easter as we’re vegetarians. (I can’t even look at the ads for ham or lamb.) But Don made a pie the other day, so I’m sure we’ll have a piece. And there are always a few pieces of sugar-free chocolate.
Happy Easter (if you celebrate.)
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
