A Simple Spring ~ Easter



Happy Spring, dear friends! Happy Easter, Happy Passover ~


This year I have tried to keep my spring and Easter decor low key and simple.






But I dearly love Eggs! And bunnies, and spring flowers.


New this year, wooden eggs from Target. I painted them with pastel chalk paint.






Mostly real blown out eggs, a long time collection. Bunny from folk artist Michelle Pooler.


Overblown yet beautiful parrot tulips.






Tiny branches found on walks after windy days. Seaglass bottles from my beach.



Faux nest, a long ago gift from my mom.


Tiny pugs!


Mr Bunny. My new piece of quilted batik gives a modern beachy hint to my traditional decor.







Chocolate molds.



The eggs again. I like them in the egg-like speckled old bowl. 






The real thing: Cadbury eggs in an old Mason jar.


Bright eggs in an old blue trencher or treenware bowl from Maine.


I made the rag ball eggs this year too. Hot glue gun and acrylic sealant, much more effective than last year's flops made with ModPodge.












Wishing you a happy weekend filled with all good things, and family and friends!


love
