Lighting the way for the Easter bunny!

Josie helped me dust off our special outdoor illuminated Easter bunny last night.

He looks rather handsome with his
brand new pale blue neck ribbon.

And I wanted to cut back on Easter decorations this year. What was I thinking?

Felt Eggs - Inspiration from Viv!

Just in case you are out shopping, I wanted to share an Easter idea with you. A few weeks ago, my blogging friend Viv posted about felt eggs that are currently available at Target on this post. Then, when she sent me her lovely Easter creations using these same felt eggs, I knew I had to run out and get some for myself.

Aren't they divine!?!

The bag is filled with large and small felt eggs. I decided to use the smaller eggs and decorate them with some miniature wooden Easter egg ornaments and vintage millinery flowers. Be sure to hot glue a button on the base so that your eggs don't roll around!

These little cuties will be taking up residence
at our Easter brunch.


Thanks for the inspiration, Viv!

My Easter Tree Reveal!

A confession.

A week ago, I had suggested to my family that I wouldn't be pulling out all the Easter decorations for our sunroom tree this year. Foot surgery on March 30th is going to keep me away from the storage area of our basement and I felt it would just be easier to not worry about it.

As you can imagine, that idea was quickly vetoed (even by my 13 year old). Everyone has agreed to help put decorations away and so with great enthusiasm, we decorated the tree last night!



Renee...your Easter garland is the perfect addition this year!

Have a lovely weekend.
Happy Easter!

Lil' Vintage StoryBook and Easter Baket Collection!

It's Friday and so it's time for another Lil' Vintage Story Books Link Party.

Today's book (The Funny Bunny Factory) is one of my favorites because of its delightful illustrations.

Copyright 1950 by Grosset & Dunlap, written by Adam Green. Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. In this colorful tale, hundreds of bunnies take up residence in an abandoned factory.

Inside the factory, they find sugar eggs,

penny candy

toys

and one little bunny finds carrots!

This week's collection features my vintage Easter baskets.

One of my favorite baskets includes reproduction German eggs.

Another holds honeycomb eggs and flocked chicks.

Another basket is filled with glass eggs
decorated with vintage millinery flowers


Another holds a plastic egg decorated
with sweet bunnies.

Don't forgot to visit Corey Moortgat's blog for more great vintage books and illustrations. She's currently featuring her daughter's vintage-inspired bedroom. It's simply ADORABLE!! Filled to the brim with all kinds of vintage girly items.

Happy Friday!
Happy Easter!
