Oh my goodness!! March has almost come and gone, and I’ve haven’t dedicated nearly half as much time towards Easter as I would have liked! It seems as if this month truly came in roaring like a lion. We’ve been on the go, go, go this March. Hubby and I traveled to Boston earlier this month. Hubby goes every year to the Boston Seafood Show, and this year, I tagged along too. While he walked around all day looking at seafood and ventured back to the hotel each evening smelling like fried shrimp, I shopped and did touristy things, and came back very knowledgeable about all-things Boston. And although everyone else in the city seemed positively over the snow, Hubs and I absolutely relished in the white stuff (that’s what growing up in one-season-only Florida will do)!
The rest of the month was dedicated to this and that (and all the catch up one must do when losing a weekend to vacation). Ugh….so exhausting!
Last weekend, the Easter bins finally came down from the attic. Short on time, with another trip around the corner, I focused on adding a few sweet touches of Easter to our home. And while it is not what I originally imagined (my imagination tends to be way more grandiose), I have to say I am certainly pleased.
Easter Nest
I saw this on Pinterest a few years back, and absolutely fell in love with it. I think it makes the sweetest Easter centerpiece. I’ve included my directions here, but you can also visit On Sutton Place or Shelterness to see their versions, just as sweet.
Whimsical Easter Basket
I adore anything woodsy and whimsical, and this little Easter Basket from World Market caught my fancy last Spring. I filled it with some plastic eggs from Hobby Lobby and paper flowers from Michaels.
Individualized Place Settings
Wanting to incorporate Spring as much as I could in my tablescape, I bought these grape-vine napkin rings. Instead of using them to wrap the napkin, I placed them horizontal like a nest and filled with white and blue eggs and spring flowers.
Sweet Little Lambs
Found these fellows at Pier 1 last year. They were seriously just too cute to pass up.
My White Rabbit
This guy joined my Easter Decor last year when I spotted him while shopping at Hobby Lobby (he was brown and sort of ugly). I painted him all white using Anna Sloan’s Chalk Paint. I love him! I think he’s quite regal.
Other Little Details
My sister picked these precious salt and pepper shakers up at this very cool antique store in Atlanta. I nestled them in their own little bed of moss on my silver three-tiered server (also found at the same antique store). I figured the Easter Bunny would leave some jelly beans and chocolate treats here later on.
Not a lot, but just enough to make it sweet.
Happy Easter!
