Mockingbird Hill Cottage
Happy Easter everyone! I hope your day is filled with family, good food, and fun. We are having dinner with friends, but before that I am spreading more mulch on the garden. Scout has been a bit under the weather and we are waiting for test results on Tuesday. The sun is shining today and that is a blessing!
Here is the rescued bird nest in its McCoy planter – all safe and sound.
More later.
This Pink Saturday finds me back home at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for a little visit. It is going by too quickly, but I am having a great time with my husband and my dogs!
My lovely tole container is pink with hand-painted flowers. I got it on Ebay and I use it in my bathroom to hold rolls of toilet paper!
Now, come with me on a little trip to my favorite store here in the Hudson Valley! Lets see what pink things we find…
This little doll is adorable in pink! I was with the owner when we discovered her in a shop and I consider her mine…even though she is not in residence at my house yet.
Good to be home with family and friends, human and furry!

I have a collection of vintage egg cups that I love. They are mostly figural, decorated with little bunnies, ducks, and chicks. I never buy anything new; they have to be vintage and many of them were won on Ebay. I thought I’d share a few with you, because isn’t Easter the best time for egg cups? My impulse to collect these started with one single egg cup given to me by my dear godparents when I was a little girl. Sadly, one of my godparents, Nick, died this past year. This little cup was manufactured for Fannie Farmer as an Easter treat.
I hung onto this egg cup for years (I won’t say how many) until I read an article on collecting egg cups and realized that I could find more of these little gems. I bid on this rooster and chick egg cup in the middle of the night – I was determined to get it.
This little rabbit is holding up the egg – it looks heavy.
Mother and baby.
It takes two rabbits to hold this egg up!
These sweeties are playing on a teeter-totter!
This is one of my favorites – I love the Painter Bunny with his easel and decorated egg.
There is a playful quality about these egg cups that I just adore.
There are many more, but these are the most appropriate for Easter. Speaking of Easter Eggs, I was at it again:
I promise, that’s it with the fabric eggs – at least for this year.
