hop like a bunny...

that easter bunny hopped around our house hiding eggs and left a trail of his cotton tail (cotton candy) right to the boys easter baskets...
and off they were to find those eggs...

and then it was time to get ready for our egg-tastic egg hunt & breakfast with nunna, grampy & aunties...
 cinnamon & sugar mini muffins, chocolate bird nests, blueberry muffins...

and mumma's first batch of homemade vanilla bean glazed donuts...
 mason jar mimosa's for the big bunnies...
grampy was thankful for the wind to fly kites with the boys, always has been a fav for him!
then it was time to hop like a bunny and find those eggs!

 you think we liked the masks much?
then we were off to grammy & grampy's for a yummy easter dinner (grammy's mac & cheese was this bunny's favorite!)
we hope you all had a very hoppy easter!

a thyme and a place...

a new family adventure has begun for my mom with the help of my creative dad, store working sisters, and my idea sending self...
 a thyme and a place...
a store filled with beautiful and unique furnishings, one of a kind home decor and perfect gifts!
my mom has been in the craft business for over 25 years and her following has only continued to grow over the years...
her own store was the only piece of the puzzle that she was missing...
my parents have been very busy preparing for the opening.  my mom's large following has always been for her primitive designed pieces.  she has expanded her horizons with this store to those who are also looking for country cottage pieces.
a thyme and a place opened it's doors last evening for a family & friends event which was most definitely a success...
many family members and friends traveled near and far for the special opening...
enjoy a sneak peak of items you may find behind the doors of a thyme and a place...


my mom definitely has been busy pulling all of this together, my dad hard at work at the shop building furniture pieces and polishing up antiques...
 my sister stacey has put in many hours preparing the store for it's opening and will be putting in many hours at the counter, sister steph also looks forward to being a part of the store and sales...
i've enjoyed some time on the design end for signs, labels and advertising and couldn't be happier for this new venture for my mom and the rest of the family...
congrats and best of luck to a thyme and a place!
