Practice Makes Purr-fect ~

What an erie feeling? Every Bunny is sleeping right now ~ I'm upstairs Blogging on the Laptop and I hear someone playing the piano downstairs. Hopefully ~ it's our Cat Whiskers and not a Ghost. It's a little un-nerving and quite loud ~ so I hope Whiskers finishes practicing the Piano soon.

This Video is on You tube and features Nora playing the Piano.

Trust in the Lord ~

~ Super Scary Swinging Bridge ~

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

This inspirational and encouraging Bible verse has provided comfort to many, many people. It speaks truth in the midst of chaos, guidance in insecurity, promise in uncertainty.

Trusting God~ that's what I'm struggling with right now and also patience. I feel like I'm trying to cross over a deep canyon and the only way to get to the other side is by walking across a swinging bridge. I'm afraid of heights and my recurring nightmare is trying to cross a swinging bridge. Do I have the courage to take a risk and cross over to the unknown? I'm a planner and I get impatient waiting for God to make my path straight.

A Lady at Church has a favorite Quote:

"Want to make God laugh? ~ tell him YOUR plans."

I just wish he would give me a clue about HIS plans for me.

Wedgwood at Estate Sale ~

Who has this for their logo??

I went to an Estate Sale yesterday and bought several Gorgeous pieces of Crystal to add to my overflowing China Cabinets. I don't really need any additional pretties sitting around ~ but these items belonged to a friend of mine who passed away last year. I bought a Crystal Basket, large Crystal Bowl, Mantel Clock, Sterling Silver Coasters, Crystal Centerpiece Bowl, Antique Crystal Decanter, small crystal bowl with Sterling Silver trim, champagne flutes and two unique Dresden Cherub Candlesticks. I'm going to take pictures of the Antique Cherub Candlesticks and maybe even sell them from my website ~ since they're very unique looking.

I was so excited with each and every one of the items that I purchased. I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning the crystal and polishing the silver items. The Crystal Decanter was cloudy with a film inside it ~ but I it looks like new since I used some uncooked rice and dishwasher detergent to clean it.

The Crystal Champagne Glasses had the logo pictured above etched on them. I thought it looked familar and was lucky to find that it was the Wedgwood Logo. Wedgwood just celebrated their 250th Anniversay last year and they are currently having a sale on their website.


So ~ if you happen to see a piece of Crystal with the "W" logo etched on it ~ you know it's Wedgwood. AND the Wedgwood Stemware is quite expensive ~ so I was lucky to find some at an Estate Sale.

LOVE this place setting of China ~ Reinassance Gold and it's currently on sale on the Wedgwood website. I think this Blue and White pattern (pictured above) is very elegant and striking.

If you ever need a Baby Gift ~ this Peter Rabbit Mug by Wedgwood would be a Fabulous gift and it's only $14.00 on the Wedgwood website.

Valentine's Day Decorations ~

Today I started decorating for Valentine's Day ~ even though my Christmas Tree is still up (shhh don't tell AnyBunny). Our Dining Room Table is covered with Christmas decorations that need to be packed away. I was so busy sending out orders from my website (thank you to my customers) that the day flew by. I'm not too stressed about it ~ tomorrow is another day.



The White Rabbit (pictured above and below) was purchased from Jennifers Dols over on Etsy and I think it is absolutely adorable. I have the perfect spot saved for this precious Bunny and I can't wait for him to arrive at his new home ~ here at our Bunny Cottage.

Doesn't he have a very Regal Profile? I'll have to think of the perfect name for him.

AND ~ Tracy over at Tracy B Designs on Etsy made this Gorgeous Valentine's Day Fabric Flower arrangement for me. Her Flowers sell out almost as fast as she lists them ~ so you might want to request a custom order.

In addition to packing up my Christmas decorations tomorrow ~ I also need to work on stocking my website ~ Bunny Chic Boutique. Easter is going to be rather early this Year ~ April 4, 2010 and so I need to get busy listing tons of Bunnies and other Fabulous Finds.

I'm Only Looking Forward ~

When I was 6 ~ I thought that I had major problems. The School Days were long and difficult for me ~ with lots of drama. I had to ride the High School bus, since I was the only Elementary Student in our neighboorhood and of course, my bus stop was the last one. So, I had to climb up on the bus and try to find a seat ~ with these really tall High School students watching me and making comments about my clothes, etc. After a few days ~ one of the Students started saving me a seat near the front of the Bus and that made the ordeal much easier.

See the lovely bruise on my forehead ~ that was the result of being "jumped" by a few 6th grade girls and having my lunch money stolen. Our Maid ~ Josephine ~ told me "the next time they hit you ~ fall to the ground and pretend like you're dead.......then they'll leave you alone." She was right ~ but after that I always brought extra money to school so I'd be able to eat lunch.

Last week was such a "bad news" week. It seemed like every single day brought more bad news and heartache. I spent most of the week in bed ~ it was warm there and I could effectively "dwell" on my the latest drama. So ~ today I decided that Josephine's advice doesn't apply in my current situation. I need to quit playing dead and get on with living and enjoying my life.......

So, I'm only looking forward ~ last week is ancient history. I'm blessed with a very short memory.

May your joy be as long as a Rabbit's Ears and your Sorrow as short as his Tail.
