Easter bunnies at my home!

It 's time for Easter!. 
My house is full of sweet bunnies...:)


...I love them ...


...as little friends scattered everywhere ...


...This one, with his old pipe, reminds me Mr Benjamin Bunny...


...worried  about his son...!

From  "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny", by Beatrix Potter,
Frederick Warne & Co, 1904.

"At length there was a pitter-patter, pitter-patter, and some bits of mortar fell from the wall above.  The cat looked up and saw old Mr. Benjamin Bunny prancing along the top of the wall of the upper terrace.  was smoking a pipe of rabbit-tobacco, and had a little switch in his hand. He was looking for his son"
(The tale of Benjamin Bunny by Beatrix Potter)

From  "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny", by Beatrix Potter,
Frederick Warne & Co, 1904.



These three books are a 'must' for fans of Miss. Potter...!


...a story of her sweet, simple and romantic life...

...the beautiful and unforgettable Benjamin Bunny story...


...a journey to her land for who, as me, dreams one day to visit her places... 




...Here some wood bunnies carved by my friend ...





...and sweet coffee cake for an afternoon tea ...



Many Thanks for your visit  and...
Happy, Happy Easter !

Arpil Tea


It’s springtime and the countryside awakes our body and soul. We can listen the music of the season  played by the nature. How about taking a tea outdoors celebrating the rebirth of nature that renews itself day by day?
My terrace is ready to begin its summer activites...and  I think a cup of tea its a good season start to share with you!


Finalmente è primavera! Si risveglia la campagna, e il nostro corpo e la nostra anima trovano nuova linfa! La natura ci regala la sua musica fatta di colori, profumi e sapori...Che ne dite di goderci un bel tè all'aperto per celebrare la stagione della rinascita? 
Questo mi sembra proprio un buon inizio proprio da condividere con voi!:)...





I love with these flower cups!... they  are so beautiful and just right for our spring time...
 ...for my guest, I baked a crostata with strawberry jam ...




Adoro queste tazze a forma di fiore...mi sembrano perfette per la primavera...

...e per i miei ospiti ho preparato una crostata di marmellata di fragole rigorosamente fatta in casa con prodotti bio!


... my white mrs bunny, one my favourite bunny potter, 
reminds us that we are waiting for easter that will come soon!:)...



...la Signora Coniglio, una delle mie favorite,
mi ricorda che siamo ormai prossimi alla Santa Pasqua...


... the napkin ring is inspired by a cammeo 
...and it is realised by silhouettes black paper ...



...il portatovogliolo e tratto dall'idea di un Cammeo 
ed è stato realizzato con carta nera per silhouettes...




...the cloth is from new Ikea collection...and the cups from Edward pottery!


...infine il tovagliolo viene dal negozio Ikea e le tazze sono creazioni Edward!




What time is it?
