arrivals and departures

Easter gal created by The Vintage Whisperer herself, Magpie Ethel

This giddy lady stopped in for a brief visit recently while on a roadtrip to her new home. She was certainly a lot of fun to have around and I almost asked her to stay on indefinitely but she wanted to be settled into her new place in time for Easter. Plus her arm gets really tired holding that shiny bouquet containing the world's tiniest Easter chick. 

A huge thank you to clever vintage crafter Barbara/Oodles and Oodles for this little family.

There's three of them so that makes an Official Collection.

This family just arrived after their long journey from the East coast. As usual, Jr still has oodles and oodles of energy but Mrs just wants a hot bubble bath while Mr says "Where's the remote?" For now, they're staying in a cozy teacup while they look for something with a backyard. 

And Mrs is just a little grumpy as it's tax time and she is in No Mood. 

Not to mention she can't remember where she put that box of receipts. 

They just need a couple days to get settled.

Then they can help with a giveaway here later this week along with more peeks into Karen's house. 

Hope you had a fun weekend.
