Ok - yay! I got my Easter box from Sue. What a pretty candle holder! I love that you found a cookbook for me in Panama City! That is so cool. We used to go to that seafood festival too! And the egg is awesome. I love the color!! Thank you so much.
Happy Spring!

Your welcome Sue! How'd the trip to Florida go? I think my Easter Basket is at the post office. There was a note from the carrier stuck inside the mail box on Saturday, but we were too late to get there. DH is going up there after work this afternoon to see.

@Catherine and Shelly, LOL! Never thought that before about the cat...his name is "Badger" though, he can still be a "stinker" when he wants to be! ;)

Ruth,
I just realized I forgot to mention the necklace- it's beautiful...did you make it? Also, I just realized the bowl is a hanging planter! Lovely and smart! Thank you again.

Hi Nicole, So glad your basket arrived, and I assume it made it without getting to "squished"! The plant pick - I found in an Antique Store, thought it was the cutest - it was handmade in America :)! Probably Buford, GA for that matter!! I made up the little bottle for you. Saw that in the Antique store and said to self "you can do that" and I did :)
Glad you enjoyed, I sure am enjoying the goodies you sent to me. Haven't had any chocolate yet, have to eat that in the morning - will do shortly though!
My kitchen has "come alive" with Spring, thanks to you my friend!
I would love to meet for lunch when you come to visit your Mom - just give me advance notice if you can!
Big hugs to your day!

Ruth!! Oh my goodness! You spoiled me so! Farmgirls, there's so much, I don't know where to begin. Just beautiful. Socks, candy GALORE, the cutest bunny, seeds, a tin, new garden gloves (so needed!), a beautiful vintage hankie (love love love it!), a lacy doily...oh it just kept coming out of the box. Such sunshine in that box! Oh my goodness! Ruth, so thoughtful. I am so touched. Thank you so very much!!! She even put goodies in the basket for Audrey. Let me show you, girls:
Ummm...must admit that a few pieces of candy are missing from the photo. Yum! Also the cutest bunny pic for a plant is not pictured...Ruth you are so creative! Everything in a big beautiful green bowl/basket. So pretty. Ruth, big BIG hugs to you! So sweet. Hoping we can meet for lunch when I visit my mom!

A pretty basket filled with all sorts of goodies - a chocolate bunny, a big bag of jelly bunnies and another big bag of white chocolate covered pretzels, and a mix to make key lime cookies! I also got some grapefruit and some lavender bath fizzies, a cute little decorative bunny and another addition to my rubber duckie collection (this one is wearing a bunny suit LOL), and last but not least a pretty purple egg (I used to belong to a group called the purple egg!) It is all so pretty and springy and I love it all, thank you so much Pam!! take a looksie:
