Candy Easter Eggs, Copy Cat Peeps Treat, Critters and a Blogging Friend

 Won't you join me for some Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Eggs and a cup of tea?


 My dear friend, Linda, gave me this two piece tiered plate stand for my birthday.  Isn't it beautiful with the green doily embossed into the glass?  I can see using this for so many things.  Thanks, Linda!  My Peanut Butter Easter Eggs recipe can be found here.


I'm using my Royal Albert 1920's Spring Meadow to celebrate SPRING!


  

I made this bunny couple  years ago and  I always love getting them out for Easter.  



Fairy BlogMother,  Linda,  from Life and Linda made some adorable furry critters, which you can find here, a  few weeks ago and I loved them so much that I had to be a copy cat and make them for my grandkids.  Aren't they the cutest jars for treats?  The stuffed animals all came from the Dollar Tree.  You cut them apart (oh dear, I felt like I was amputating the little critters!) in the middle, cut their little feet off, and hot glue them onto the jars.  I used various ribbons to cover the rim of the jar.  It was a fun craft, and they look so sweet!  Thanks for the idea, Linda!


 Two of my grands spent the night and we copied what Mary made of  Home Is Where The Boat Is,  a few weeks ago.  To see Mary's directions and her beautiful cookie tart, you can visit here.


 Didn't the kids do a great job on this Peeps Cookie Tart?  Thanks for the inspiration, Mary!  The kids even used my Wilton Dessert Decorator and piped the icing on by themselves.


And last, but not least, I was so excited to be able to meet Deborah, from The Beautiful Matters, who came from Michigan to attend a wedding.  We had lunch together and spent a couple of hours just chatting away, as if we hadn't seen each other in quite some time. Isn't it wonderful how we actually get to "know" blogging friends through their words, and what they share on their blogs.  Deborah is as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.  Deborah gave me the cutest teacup and a gift bag filled with several teas, which I will share some other time. Our friend, Celeste,  from Southern DayDreams was supposed to join us, but she was under the weather, and couldn't make it.  We missed her!


I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

  10. Oh, Kitty, it was so great to meet you, and I had a wonderful time! I am getting ready to take a nap right now, the weekend was so busy, but I had to stop by first!
    You're so funny, "amputating" those little stuffed animals! I would have felt the same way! But they are adorable. And I'm going to have to try those peanut butter eggs. My family loves peanut butter and chocolate. xo Deborah ps I'll send an email soon with some of the info I promised you

  15. Hi Kitty,
    What a wonderful tiered tray. You will get lots of use out of that. Those Easter eggs look delicious and the jars are adorable! You're so funny saying you 'amputated' them. Had to giggle at that. I'm so happy you got to spend time with Deborah. I bet you two covered a lot of ground with your chat. Lovely for both of you. Happy Spring, my friend, and enjoy your week.

    Easter blessings,
    Sandi

  19. How do I love this post? Let me count the ways: 1) chocolate peanut butter treats; 2) teacup with pretty purple flowers; 3) adorable bunnies and grandkids; 4) a meet-up between 2 bloggers I greatly admire!

    As a huge Toy Story fan, I would have felt bad cutting up the stuffed critters too. Heh.

  20. Kitty, Happy Spring! I clicked on your PB egg recipe and YUM! I don't know if I will have time this year to make them but I will definitely make them next year. Your spring decor makes me smile. Too cute that you had to amputate the furry friends. Did you at least anesthetize them? And how sweet to meet a blog friend. Both of you are lovely ladies!

  21. This post is filled with so many lovely things. I love your treats and I would enjoy one with tea with you. What a sweet gift, the doily embossed tiered cake stand and how pretty is the tea cup! Adorable bunnies and furry critters. Your grands are adorable and I know you must have enjoyed this evening Kitty. And, it is always a wonderful thing when we can meet our blogger friends. Enjoy a Blessed Easter………..

  23. What a fun post from start to finish, Kitty! First off, those Peanut Butter Easter Eggs look yummy! I love the bunnies you made. They're so perfect for this time of year. And those furry critters are adorable. I may try making them and filling the jars with Easter candy for my three youngest grandchildren. I loved seeing your grandchildren and the Peeps Cookie Tart they made. They did a great job! And how special to get to meet a blogging friend - and one from my state, no less! I wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter, Kitty. Easter's message is beautiful - Because He lives, we too shall live eternally! Hugs, Phyllis

  27. Such a delightful meeting with Deborah! I happened to meet a fellow blogger this week myself, and it was quite the amazing experience, we just happened to be in the same restaurant at the same time, amazing! A God thing for sure! Your little easter treats are just delightful, cutting them up would certainly feel a little funny for sure, but they turned out so cute! I hope you have a blessed and very special Easter, dear Kitty!

  28. Your Easter treats look scrumptious. You grand-kids did a wonderful job in whipping up those bunny treats. I do love the two tiered cake plate...love the embossed doilies. Pretty tea cup also, it definitely heralds Spring. How wonderful to meet with Deborah; it sounds as if you are kindred spirits. May you have a blessed Easter, Kitty, with your family.

  37. I love when I meet blog/Instagram friends.

    I clicked right over to those peanut butter Easter eggs. I have a similar recipe for what I call Buckeyes. I think I'll give your recipe a try.

  38. What a fun time you must have had with your grands & that cookie!
    Also getting to meet up with Deborah had to be a joy as well. I'll have to check out her blog today.
    That two piece tiered plate stand is just lovely, esp. with those yummy looking choc/peanut butter eggs on top! I am always so impressed with how you can set up a little area to look so inviting. I need to work on doing that.
    Have a Blessed Easter, Kitty, surrounded by the love of family & friends.

  41. The furry critter jars are adorable. I used to have a very similar pair of bunnies until the Boston terrier we had for many years adopted them as his bed partners.
    How sweet that you got to meet another blogger.
    Happy Easter, Kitty.

  48. Happy Easter, precious friend! As I type this I am listening to the song "Roll Away The Stone" :) I was not familiar with it so I had to find it right away - I love it!

    I hope your Easter is off to a beautiful start. My little one and I have a cold so we did not make it to church and I must confess that I am heartbroken! How I love the Easter service and the glorious songs that we sing. I was also to play a special on the piano...but I keep telling myself that God knows and has a plan even with something like this. Your song came at the perfect time and has greatly encouraged me - thank you!

    Your post is simply lovely and that tea cup...STUNNING! And speaking of stunning, you and Deborah are so beautiful! I am so glad the two of you were able to meet up.

    Love, hugs, and blessings to you!
