Easter Decor

My buffet

 During my spring break, I had intended to get a bunch of Easter themed craft projects done to post here. I was hoping to inspire you to create something special to share during your holiday. Due to two babies in the family being born that week, those projects never were completed (insert sad face here). I wanted to post something Easter themed, so I decided to snap some pictures of my Easter decor before I put it all away recently. Hopefully it inspires you in some way as you prepare for your next holiday. I like to decorate in the spring with birds, nests, and flowers/greenery that depict new growth.

I just LOVE this bunny. She reminds me of my grandma, who was always in the garden.

My terrarium, with fake grass and colorful eggs.

The table

I added Easter grass & wire eggs to the three-tier plant holder.

This is a plate shelf/towel rack I have in my kitchen. I typically put out holiday themed towels.

A place next to my kitchen sink for soap. The basis of this idea is from Pinterest ♥ 

My mom made this in the late 60's when painted ceramics were the latest rage.

Speaking of my mom, this was her centerpiece on the Easter table. It was so cute, I had to share it!

This wooden tray with compartments makes a great candy dish and was always filled with a variety of jelly beans or m&m's. I'm glad Easter is over, because take my word for it, you can't just eat a few and it's not very Weight Watcher friendly!

Wecome Baby

He's Here! In a previous post I mentioned that my niece/godchild was having a baby boy soon. Rilan arrived on Thursday, March 29th. I got to spend the day with them on Easter and he truly is a blessing! He is such a good baby and a little snuggle bug. As I had said before, my niece Kyley has become quite fond of elephants with this pregnancy, so I made a card for Rilan's homecoming gift (an outfit with elephants on it, of course) using CTMH's New Arrival stamp set and Pemberley paper pack. 

Here is a picture of Rilan and I hanging out on Easter:
