Wishing You All A Very Happy Easter ....

Free Image for you from A Gathering of Thoughts

Hope that You and Yours have All Had a Blessed and Safe Easter. 

And that the Easter Bunny has been and left you some yummy goodies!

I have noticed while visiting so many gorgeous blogs  in the US...

That you celebrate all events with beautiful vignettes...

We don't seem to do that in Aus.... but will confess I love the idea!

So although it is too late for this year...

I have splurged and bought a couple of little things to start my collection...

Including these gorgeous Handpainted Shabby Eggs
From

Ribbons Roses and More

I am also hoping that lovely Rebecca from
A Gathering of Thoughts 
Can make me one of these
Drop Dead Gorgeous Bunnies

When she gets back from holidays!

This one is the lovely and lucky Ginger's...

I am also waiting for some little parcels of Easter Goodies to arrive

To start my Lets Get Shabby Challenge...
It's not too late to join in.....

I found these Cute Little Easter Themed Kits HERE 
And had ordered them just before the Challenge was Announced..
So that was definitely a stroke of luck...

  And this one...

Available from Julie Colling's Etsy Shop
