Spring Speaks!


I just love tulips. They always bloom when it's still cold outside. They brighten up the drab winter yard and the kitchen or dining table. Spring speaks! It just relieves and lifts the spirit to have some color around! Add little touches of nature and we are ready to go! We have two of the cutest little bunny teapots for collectors, grandmothers, and little girls. Bunny or tulip decorated dishtowels for your kitchen are perfect when you can actually use them!

Sweet bunny sugar and creamer set match the bunny cookie jar below!

Bunny S & P set is multi-functional. Wrap an Easter egg garland around a table top and add Easter touches: bunny S & P and a little grass!

Bunnies peak out of the top of floral tea cups. Tiny bunny S & P set on a little tray. Very Cute!

Going to the Chapel and We're Going to get Married!

The first choice gift of our registered brides is always the Wedding Invitation Plaque! Just bring wedding invitation itself and we will have it made into a memorable gift for the bride and groom. It takes about 5 weeks, so bring it as soon as you get it! Also the invitation must be clean and I'd suggest leaving it in the original envelope for protection. We have an very nice iron Fleur de Lis stand for displaying the plaque. Some mothers-of-the-bride bring the invitation early so they can display the plaque at the wedding reception. We've even had a few who have brought the invitation years later for a special gift for their daughter at Christmas or for the birth of their first baby! Speaking of babies, we can also have a soft blue, pink, or green birth announcement plaque done with all the statistics of the new baby! Great memorable gifts!
The initial candles come in two sizes: the large, which is shown, and a votive size for a "Little Happy". Yummy fragrances! Bride and groom guest towels match our pastel dot or pastel bordered guest towels.
Favorite on most bridal registries is the wonderful bakeware! I love it! They come in large or small rectangular, oval, and square casseroles which are oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe! Great colors: linen, chocolate with linen inside, linen, ice blue, taupe, and paprika! What more could we ask for...color, shape, useful, and durable!
Salt and Pepper set in taupe is available in wheat, red, and cream. See other pics on this page for other colors and pieces like: memo board, coasters, and spoonrest! Variety of pieces, colors, and prices!
The new couple will also need a photo album for the pics from the wedding and honeymoon. Again, see other pics on this blog for more colors, styles, and sizes.
Just a heads up for a great Christmas gift to consider: These albums make a perfect keepsake gift for family members of the wedding couple and be sure to tuck in the pics from the wedding which include them!

Custom Monogrammed T-Shirt

Little Easter Happies!




For Easter Baskets, Pokeno or Bunko prizes, Birthday, even think ahead: Mother's Day and Graduation! Remember the cute shoe notecards and hefty bow tied notepads! Monogrammed jewelry, initial pendants, candles, soaps, notepads are special treats. Book notecards in songbirds, tulips, peonies, dragonflies, historic chairs, and chic Paris fashion keep etiquette alive: write a note. For Easter give or use generously sized tulip and bunny rabbit cup towels! Granny Bee candles are in: Creme Brule' (we should serve it with a spoon!) and the best blueberry muffin candle that smells like fresh baked buttered blueberry muffins. Close your eyes and click your heels! There's no place like home!


See you soon! We'll keep the gate open!
