“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭

Hello and Happy Tuesday sweet friends! I have a treat for you today as I promised yesterday. If you remember from last Friday’s post Gather ‘round My Easter Table, I participated in my first Instagram Table Hop. I realize that some of you might not be on Instagram or if you are, you might not have been able to follow the hop! No worries I have assembled a round-up of these stunning tables for you to enjoy. Without further adieu, let’s enjoy Easter Eye Candy Tablescapes!

An Easter Afternoon In The Country – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Easter, Monday Morning Blooms

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬

Happy Monday dear friends! It is a great start for the week because it is the third Monday of the month and that means I am joining my creative friends to bring you the Easter edition of Monday Morning Blooms!

Easter has always been very special to me – starting when I was a little girl.  My mother always made sure I had a new outfit and we would start our day at the sunrise service, complete with family lunch. The lunch tradition lives on as we gather at our house in the early afternoon for good food and an egg hunt! All of these events are fun and bring back wonderful memories, but the meaning of this day is what gives us life. Jesus Christ defeated death and the grave forever!  What a reason to celebrate!

After our Easter lunch of traditional Southern food, we will be outside for an Easter egg hunt with our granddaughter. I set up refreshments on the picnic table with a spring bouquet of flowers for us to relax and enjoy the fun through the eyes of our almost three year old Ella Mae. Baby Emma will probably sleep through the fun!

You will find the inspiring floral links for Shirley, Lidy, and Mary at the bottom of this post!

Cherry Blossoms & New Life

~ Easter, Spring

“And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends! I hope you are having a good week so far and that you are enjoying spring blooms and lovely weather. It has been a beautiful spring here in NE AL with the dogwoods, redbuds, and cherry trees putting on a fabulous show. Normally on Tuesday there is a tablescape, but today I am sharing a little vignette that I put together for my foyer. With the new life that we see all around us, it is my hope that we will turn our eyes to Jesus and the new life that He offers us.

A couple of months ago we purchased six acres that adjoins us. This property has an old barn and you also might remember last year the 1860 historic home which caught fire and burned. All that remains are the brick fireplaces and this one porch column. We are amazed that this gorgeous cherry tree that sat so close to the home was not damaged by the fire and intense heat! Butch and I rode down on the Arctic Cat so he could cut a few branches for me to enjoy!
