Ah, it's always nice to decorate for Easter, isn't it? Spring is in the air and the soft breeze makes me want to fling all the windows open and take a deep breath. Plus, the lovely colors...... the pastel palette just works in my house, and I even invite a little lavender and aqua inside. They get along well with the pinks, creams and greens that are my mainstays.
There are a few little vignettes sitting around as reminders of Spring and Easter...not too far off. This is an old piece from an antique shop I like to visit in Ohio. A sweet cherub holding a bowl. I like changing its contents with the seasons.
In the kitchen it's all about chocolate eggs and bunnies.
Candy-like eggs in a nest. I love the chcocolate drizzles. {fake of course!}
And gigantic ones hanging from the chandelier.
They needed a little something, so I added the lace and tissue fringe around the top.
And just the opposite....a tiny-as-can-be decorated quail egg.
It opens like a little treasure box.
I gave this big sugared egg a minor face lift this year. It had tiny plastic-stemmed flowers, so I took them off and glued these vintage velvet ones on instead.
A basket full of Fancy Ostrich Eggs.
And Mr. Bunny peeking out at all the fluff and finery.
Well, I hear Sam waking from his nap, which means it's time to go.
Happy Spring everyone!
Ahhh…How lucky can us gals be…. another beautiful post practically back to back. Andrea your spring home looks so adorable.
Now I'm excited to make my way home and take out all of my spring things. And those eggs are soooooo gorgeous... I sure wish YOU had them for sale and I don't want any imposters!!!
Maybe next year… a girl can dream until then!!
Have a great day Andrea and Happy Spring !!!

Andrea, your Spring and Easter decor is so pretty! I love your fancy Ostrich eggs!! Just gorgeous!!! And all that faux chocolate looks so yummy! If I had that around the house I think my boys wouldn't believe that they were fake and would try to eat them, just to see. lol! Mr. Bunny is adorable! Happy Spring!

Oh how beatutiful
Your creations and designs are truly stunning. I understand your reasons for not selling your eggs this year but am shedding a tear or two as I missed out last year. So sad. But I do support you in the decisions you need to make for yourself :)
Have a happy day and thanks for sharing all this wonderful beauty.

It sure looks festive, Andrea! I don't think I could handle the candy-lookin' bunnies and eggs. I have a hard enough time resisting the sweets just knowing they EXIST. If I had reminders sitting around looking oh-so-lovely...I'd fall off the wagon in no time at all! The ostrich eggs are beautiful. Did you do the lettering on "Happy Springtime"? If so, I wish you'd make it a font on dafont.com, as it is beautiful!

Beautiful Andrea! Curious where did you find the fake chocolate eggs? Lori

Luv the chocolage bunny with lace. I would have never thought of that. Great idea. Your Fancy Ostrich Eggs are just beautiful.
Hugs,

Your Easter things are so gorgeous, Andrea! I have the same pink, white & chocolate drizzled eggs like yours that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I bought some that came in a cluster & hung them on my d.r. chandelier...great minds think alike!!
love,
Sherry

I've been searching for satin balls or eggs to decorate. Do you have a source you can share?
