Almost Easter!

 I made a couple of changes to my kitchen dinette area.  I switched up what was in the basket and added a table topper that was my mother's.

Before I had made up this little basket with carrots and a candle.

 I picked up a hydrangea at the grocery store and made it my center piece.

 The eggs are from MacKenzie Childs.  I bought them on sale over the past two years and they really are nice!

 The table topper has a different medallion in each square and each square is intriquitely attached to the lace.

 A lot of detail in the lace.  It's probably at least 20 years old and I'm imagining it was an import but definitely hand made.

 On the credenza I added the caarrots that had been in the basket and I think it perked up the arrangment!

Thank you for stopping by and I do hope you will find a way to enjoy Easter during this time our country is experiencing such difficulties!

Easter Vignette On The Credenza

 This is my first Easter decorating.

 First on the dining table I nestled some carrots in my tray/basket and centered a candle in there.  

 I spotted this bunny a while back at Home Goods and grabbed him right up.  I found some ivy to go in his back and...

 I nestled some eggs in there too.

 Isn't this the cutest!  I also found it at Home Goods.  Couldn't resist it!

 Keeping some of the original pieces on the credenza I just added a pile of eggs to this candle holder. 

 Just a bit of  cutness!

The white tulips came from Pottery Barn several years ago.  They have a pretty realistic look to them!

So thats my Easter Vignette On The Credenza (and table)!

A Little More Easter Decorating

 I put together another Easter tree using my hand made bows and beaded covered eggs.

 A few years ago I collected these Mackenzie Childs Easter figures.  My little bows were an attempt to create the classic black and white checked pattern found with the MC items.

 These ate cute and must be important since they are both crowned!

I stuffed them with the brown excelsior.  

 And on the entryway table I added this cute little bunny!

A little more Easter decorating!

Storybook Easter Dining (T)

I was thinking of storybook tales like Peter Rabbit when I created this tablescape.

Imagining all the little storybook creatures scurrying about delivering eggs and feasting on flowers and cabbage long the way!

I previously showed my centerpiece arrangement in this post "here".   The rabbit is standing inside a wreath of flowers and eggs.  I added a few more eggs and set up more little bunnies and chicks.

My pretty stemware that my kids and hubby helped me to start collecting seemed perfect with it's floral accents.  

I chose my pink cabbage bowls and green cabbage leaf plates to continue the storybook garden theme.

I've had these napkins for at least 3 years and never used them.  They remind me of colorful Easter eggs.  I found the tulip napkin rings last summer on discount.  

Since I have a grandson that is a toddler my mind shifts in the storybook direction.

Here comes Peter Cottontail...hoppin' down the bunny trail...hippity hoppity Easter's on it's way!

Thank you for joining me and I hope you liked my Storybook Easter Dining presentation!

Decorative Easter Touches- Part 1

You'll find a lot of bunnies around my house at this time of year!  This little one is sneaking away with a cabbage loaded with Easter eggs!  Once he delivers the eggs his prize will be the cabbage and all the carrots!

Using a dessert plate as a decorative accent!

I didn't expect to be using my Easter Egg Basket in this location but it all kind of fell together.

As I was taking pictures I noticed I could see the dining table in the mirror so let's go ahead and move over there now!

I started with a big cabbage leaf placemat below, then added a wreath and set my bunny in the center. The pink eggs are hand painted wooden ones I found as a set at T.J. Maxx this year.  I just tucked them in randomly on the wreath plus a little bunny with a pink bow.

Several years ago Pier 1 had those yellow chicks with bunny ears and I thought they were rather humorous!  I just realized that pretty much everything in this table arrangement is from Pier 1.  I enjoy the sisal bunnies and had to resist a lot of their new stuff this year although I did pick up the cute little bunny in pink!

This bunny with the egg cart came from a little shop up in Petoskey several years ago and was featured as a centerpiece for one of my tablescapes as seen "here" if you would like to see it!

I pulled on the color yellow a bit more this year.  I do enjoy the traditional colors of Easter decorating and since my birth month is March I think I've always embraced the festive Easter decorating.

I did a tablescape in 2014 with a more religious theme if you care to view it this is the "link".

A walk through the past...

This is me on the left and Jennifer on the right (that just had the back surgery) and one of my older sister's Sherry posing one year at Easter.  My mother made most of our outfits when we were younger.  We also wore these outfits to a birthday party just down the street. 😊

This my Aunt Lavina that we just lost late last summer (age 96) at one of our Easter get-togethers.  She and my uncle Ray always brought us a chocolate Easter bunny!

Thank goodness for the wonderful memories!

Kitchen Window Easter Arrangement

I've been doing some decorating for Easter.  I haven't decorated my kitchen window in a while so I decided to do it this year.

 I love bunnies and lambs.  I picked up a ruffled edge white cyclamen when we were visiting family.  I found a cobalt blue planter to put it in at the same place.  

 The little bunny has been mine for about 5 years and the lambs came from Pier 1 probably the same year.  

 I had a hard time getting good pics with the outside light being bright so I resorted to using my iPhone.  

 The very chubby rabbit is another Pier 1 piece I've had a while.

 I enjoy having the window decorated- brings a smile to my face!
