Hello Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
Happy Spring<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrapping up Easter decorations, using a recent gift of the running hare floorcloth as my focal point for the table. Although I do believe I need to bring everything in some, I'm having friends over Friday so we need a little room to eat. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My collection of rabbits are antiques, vintage and a few fabulous antique reproductions. It's always such fun when you unearth your holiday decorations for the season, and find a few treasurer you forgot. </div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love using cloches, holidays are always special when the season is tucked under glass. This vignette is old books covered with text, pages from antiques books rolled up along with old fragments of hand carved molding with original yellow paint.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spy a few sacred hearts tucked in and each cloche hides a rabbit or two. Spring, Easter and much loved treasures awaits you.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be hopping over to your home to see Easter soon. XOXO Kathy </div>

I love spring decorating and especially </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eastertime with bunnies, lambs chicks and eggs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fresh spring colors to brighten the winter past.<br />
<br />
Simply changing your china, adding easter tidbits can make all the difference in brightening your room. LET SPRING IN!</div>

Recently visiting my dear friend Doris, I was inspired by her spring table, it's just the motivation needed to begin my transition from winter to spring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
With Easter just around the corner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This summer my friends and I were invited to Serenbe, by our best buddy Toni Rueter. <a href="https://serenbefarms.com/">https://serenbefarms.com/</a> to enjoy a beautiful setting, wonderful food, great plays and lots of outing's.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
My first time visit to Tyron, Ga. took us to Circa Vintage Market and Antiques </h3>

Is this cute or what? Coffee Bar, every gal's dream.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Our early morning began with a light breakfast at Circa's Coffee Shop.</h3>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The staff won us over with their warm personalities and steamy hot coffee, a fun unexpected surprise. The coffee shop is bustling with warm personality and clever decorating.</h3>

Today is the last day of summer, all my fairy goodies are being packed up. Before bringing out fall I wanted to share a few photos of recent celebration. </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
This summer I hosted several fairy parties some for the wee folks and some for the young at heart. </h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The world of fantasy can be so inviting especially when you entertain children in the spirit of make believe. </h3>

Fairies love lots of everything, anything shiny that sparkles and glitters are their favorites. I have found most young or old alike loves the sparkle.</h3>

<br /></div>
Hello Friends, <br />
Last week I was lucky to spend a couple days in New Orleans with girlfriends. I had always heard<br />
of the Old Ursuline Convent and gardens on Chartes Street. It's the oldest French-colonial architecture in the United States and it was just up the road from me. The Convent was never open in the past so I was so excited to get a chance to peek behind the wall to see the gardens. <br />
<br />
This order of French Urseline nuns came to our country in 1722 to build their school, a stucco covered brick in 1752, the new building, also known as <b>Old Ursuline Convent</b>, is typical for the French neoclassical architecture. It is a formal, symmetrical building, severely designed in its lack of ornamentation. No applied orders of pilasters or columns relieved the plain walls. Only the slightly arched window set in shallow moldings, the rusticated quoins at the corners and narrow central pedimented pavilion break the even rhythm of the fenestration.<br />
<br />
After you enter the gate you are facing their lovely French Boxwood sculptured garden. Just Lovely.<br />
<br />
<br />

Be sure to see the<b> herb gardens</b>, which inspired one of the nuns to become the first pharmacist in the United States: she was never licensed, but she published a list of herbs that cured various maladies.<br />
