Instead of doing typography this week, I thought I would share some Easter clip art. Here are four images from my files.
This artist bunny is so sweet.
This portrait bunny is adorable.
Not sure why, but this year I am loving purple and this basket certainly does the trick.
Another portrait bunny. This one is wearing a blue cap. Cute!
Hope you crafty types can use these images to make something fabulous. Thanks for visiting.
Here we are again for day three of The Paris Market in Savannah. I just can't get enough of my memories of this beautiful shop. It's really a good thing I do not live near here or I would have to visit at least once a week. This is a two-story shop. This is the stairway descending to the lower floor. The side of the staircase is lined with stacks of old books. In fact, there are stacks of books everywhere in this store. I usually do not buy random encyclopedias that are one to five volumes but after visiting this store, I can see how the reds and greens of the old encyclopedias make perfect decorating accents.
At the bottom of the stairs is this bicycle built for two. I love the red color. Of course, I am partial to red and love this tandem bike.
This table setting is gorgeous. I particularly loved this whole room. It was very inviting. Made me want to be invited for dinner. I called this table the pallet table. The top looks like pallet lumber. I love the formality of the table mixed with the simple design of the furniture.
Now I am almost embarrassed to show you this photo because it is the inspiration for my table top chalkboard I showed you this past weekend. This was my inspiration. This one is way better than my feeble attempt, but you can easily see how I could get inspiration from this whole setting.
How about this santo? She truly does look like a saint, doesn't she?
Here is a closer look at this beauty!
And alas, our tour today is ending. Don't worry. I have more to show you. Eventually I will get to the other parts of Savannah, but you will have to indulge me for a while longer. Yes, I took more photos, but you will have to tune in next week to see more. Thanks for visiting. Adieu!

Before I start this post, a brief public service announcement. On Friday I perceived a slight problem with my blog. I went to the help icon, posted my question and inserted my email address. This is an email address I have had for 15 years and I use it for my business. This morning I checked my email and I had received approximately 2,000 emails over the weekend. Seriously annoying. I have deleted them all and have blocked anything from coming in with the word "blogger" or from "blogger." This may or may not cause a problem. In the meantime, the email I use to respond to comments and for link parties is now having a problem and I cannot respond to any emails I receive. Long story short, I now have a new email address at littlemissmaggie@yahoo.com. So please beware of giving the "help" people your email. It is not private! Now on with the post.
This started out to be another Graphics Fairy post and I did use her image for this, but then I decided to do a post on what I was actually packaging. I found these adorable blocks at a neighborhood sale on Saturday. I brought them home and showed my daughter. Because she works with handicapped children, I thought she would enjoy seeing these. She insists they are a puzzle and I do believe she is correct.
If you are really crafty, I think these blocks could easily be duplicated with some permanent marker. Lay out your wood (even dominoes would work) and make your ant parade. These are pretty easy to draw and then turn your blocks and make some more parades and then again and again. These would be great at a picnic and the kids could play games with them and see how long they could get the trail to last.
As always, I appreciate your visits. Please stop by again soon.

If you have been following my blog, you will remember my red and white bistro chairs. Well, when I bought them at the flea market, they came as a 3-piece set. I didn't want the table, because it was wobbly and ready to fall over, but the vendor said he didn't want to drag the table home with him so I saw that as a sign. No, I mean a real sign. What else was I going to do with it? It was a free surface to paint something on. So I copied a chalkboard I saw at The Paris Market in Savannah (which by the way looks way better than mine, but what do you want for free?)
My husband discarded the wobbly base, and painted the table with chalkboard paint. I came along with my acrylic paint and put my wording on it so that makes this a permanent menu board. I confess it was a little hard to map my words in with the slats of the table, but over all I think it is fine. Maybe I will put some coat hooks on the sides for hanging aprons.
You can see from the way the table started out, most people, including my husband, would have trashed it. I, on the other hand, like to create from nothing.
