Today was every bit as beautiful and Springlike as yesterday, so of course, I had to plant more flowers. And waste not, want not, I couldn’t throw away the flowers that broke off in the flats! So I gathered up the few little stems and placed them in a vase that that one time was a salt shaker, and added some leaves from my St. Patrick’s Day shamrock for greenery.
Here is a group of pots I filled and sat by my breezeway door as a welcome to guests. I like to top off the pots with a handful of moss as a finishing touch. Especially this time of year, when the flowers are tiny and seem a bit lonely in a big pot.
Earlier this week, I had a good junking day with good friends. I found this lost little lamb and decided he needed to be a part of my Easter decor.
When I stopped at the craft store to get the moss for my flower pots, I saw this little chick in the 50% off aisle. I thought she should come home and be part of my Easter decor too. Over the years, since my boys have grown and gone, I haven’t set out anything for Easter. But now that I have a grand baby, I am excited to get back into the habit.
When my boys were little, I used to paint hollow eggs. Here is one with a little chick on it. I used to date them on the back, this one says 1989.
On the junking day, I found a few bunnies too. Here they are in a glass compote nestled in yellow grass. The tallest one with the violets on her back is one that I made about 25 years ago and hand painted.
I love your little easter chicks and bunnies! So glad you are getting to decorate for Easter this year!
I love how you placed them in your compote with the grass! Great idea!
Oh , everything looks so sweet and festive! I love sweet little season settings like these! I’m so jealous of you potting plants!! … I dare not do that yet… who knows , we could easily have another snow storm. (lets hope not!!) yikes!
