Spring/Easter in the Family room #2

Happy Wednesday
Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a nice weekend
and week, so far.

  Also hope you weren't in any of

the areas where all the bad storms

 happened.

Our daughter and hubby got

 stranded in Texas overnight because 

of it, they headed home from Calif.

 on Sat. early afternoon and flew to 

Dallas, and then all the planes were 

cancelled going to their area. At

least they were able to get a hotel

room and a good nights sleep sans

luggage...........they finally made

it home Sunday late afternoon,

still sans luggage. They finally
got their luggage back Monday
evening.

Our weekend was good, they

came and worked on our shed
 some,  and we got some work 
done on our business, watched

a good movie, played some
cards, and church on Sunday,
and that's all can remember
right now.  lol  I wrote this
on Tuesday but didn't get
finished until today.

Thought I would show you
our Spring/Easter mantle in our
 family room.  If you missed 
part 1and would like to see it.
Just Click here.

So on with the mantle.....

Some pictures were taken at night, 
and others were taken in the daytime.

I had purchased these Beautiful
carved plaques back in February
when we were visiting my daughter
in S.C......actually bought them
for our master bath, but decided
to use them on the mantle for
spring, cause love how they show
up so well...........

and since we have all these LED
candles, thanks to hubby's new
 infatuation,  and mine too now....
I just decided to put them on these 
blue salad plates, as they make for
 a simple statement, and love that
they turn themselves on and off
 every evening and make the 
mantle looks so nice.

Also love this tall picture of the

 Amarillos I found some years

 back.  Very simple and modern

looking. Also like using my

white pitchers on the hearth

as well.  Just made for a very

simple yet pretty look.....

Did you notice there is some-

thing else

on the mantle now???

You have to look hard to see it.

It is difficult to get pics in this
room without reflections.

This cute lil lamb......

I kept thinking that maybe it just needed 

something in that lower right hand corner

 since that corner of the picture seems

kind of empty, and before I could think

of  anything to put there, lil darling was

 here helping me, when I first started

getting my Easter decorations out and

 she put the lamb right where I was

 thinking it needed something.  

Anyway, I loved it, and

thought it looked so cute.  Think she

has maybe gotten the decorating gene,

from her Mom, Dad, Aunt and Me.

But as I continued getting my 

other decorations out.....

 I came across my Jesus figurine

 that a neighbor/friend gave me

 years ago, so wound up putting

it in the place of the lamb since

I couldn't figure out a place that

it looked as nice.

But when lil darling came and

saw I had changed it, I saw her

lil face fall, so the next time she

cames I put the lamb back and

 move the figurine to another 

spot for the day, and since I put 

it in a lower place she seems to 

like to be able to look at it up 

close, so I decided to leave

it in the new spot.

She asked me why he was with

 children.....and I told her because

He says Children are the greatest

in His kingdom, and that He

really likes and loves lil children,

and she said does He like me??

 and I said, absolutely, you

are very special to Him.

Amazing how a figurine can

trigger such a great interaction.

and be a wonderful reminder 
of His great love for us!

I had a similiar conversation
with the lil boy that lives
across the street when he
saw the figurine years back.
He is about to graduate
 from High School this 
year.....
How time does fly......



Thanks for visiting today and
hope you enjoyed your visit.


Love, Hugs and
Pre Easter Blessings,

Nellie
