A Little Easter Decorating

I've been doing a little bit of Easter decorating
 Last year my sister made an egg for each of me and my sisters.  I believe she used a decorative tissue paper sheet on mine- and mod podge.  I was looking at it and figured it would look good out on the mantel and then I decided to bring my lamb figurines from the china cabinet out too.

I think they have sweet faces.

I staged it on a little faux nest but needed help keeping it upright so I used some excelsior to help it.  

This extra large paper egg is just like the one I've had since I was a child.  They are made in Germany.  (Notice the photo bomber- my cat Riley)

They come apart in two pieces so you can fill them with some goodies like candy and or a stuffed bunny etc.  It would take the place of an Easter basket.  I used the metal bowl that sits on the coffee table all the time, filled it with the Easter grass, tossed a few eggs around-  simple but enough!

This little paper egg is the one from my childhood.  It was filled with jelly beans and I still remember being so excited about it! 

I put together this little vignette on the corner table by the door.  I set the garden cart on two of those faux grass mats- actually this one is boxwood. Notice the silly chick with rabbit ears (Pier 1) I do go for the traditional Easter colors- I love it especially at this time of year.  After a long winter I'm ready for happy colors!

 I added some mini daffodils to it so it would look like a field with flowers popping out.  The garden cart was from Cracker Barrel last year. I added some shredded green paper along the edges of the mat so it would conceal the framework of the mats.

 The bunnies were from last year (T.J. Maxx).  I stuffed some little violas in the basket that already had some carrots.


In the corner by the kitchen table I stuffed a bunch of  flowers in this metal container and I set a basket of eggs in the salt glazed bowl down below. I didn't make much effort on the bottom.

This chubby bunny sits on top of the flowers with her own stock of carrots to keep her happy.  She's really been enjoying herself!

  2. So much fun and beauty.
    Love all details! I'm partial to the Lambs - I wish I could find one or two for my Easter Vignette (I've looked and not even in plastic) - and the Large paper Egg. They're beautiful.
    Your post made me remember something my Priest uses to say "Easter is a second Christmas!" you made me feel that way with yoru creating.
    Absolutely Lovely! Your cat must be wondering if there are any goodies inside the egg... if not if he could just playing with it suited him just fine, I guess ahahahah
    Enjoy Easter, Liz!

  9. You always come up with some of the greatest stuff, Liz. Seriously...you just have "the eye" for creating neat vignettes!

    I am impressed that you still have that egg from your childhood. It must really have some very happy memories attached to it for you to have kept it so nice for so long. Uh...not saying you're old or anything! :-) I have a few things from my childhood, some that are still in good shape and others that have suffered horribly thanks to me moving around a lot when I was younger.

    Your sister did a phenomenal job on that egg! She could sell those!

    I love that huge egg. Fill mine with vodka, please! :-)
