Adding the Final Touches For Easter

Hello, friends!  Thank you for stopping by to say hello for a few minutes today.  I am so glad the kiddos are beginning Spring Break, so we can spend some much-needed time together!  Earlier today, I spent a bit of time putting together the finishing touches for our Easter Sunday celebration.  Just a bit of tweaking here and there...nothing too complicated, will make for a sweet time that is enjoyable and relaxing.  I hope you enjoy the post!


More Flowers For the Entry 
 
I recently shared the tutorial for very simple baskets which I have hung on my front doors.


To make the entry even more welcoming, I added another arrangement indicative of the Spring season.    I began on my little garden pillar.   I added a large urn.  On the urn, I set a large rustic basket.



 I made sure to use a basket with almost the same diameter bottom as the mouth of the urn.
 

 
I have filled the basket with colorful blooms such as lilacs, lilies, daffodils, delphinium, grasses, et cetera...

 
and a sweet little bunny.

 
 
Isn't he cute?


 
To anchor him, I simply used a bamboo skewer.  I pushed the skewer into a tiny hole in the bottom of Mr. Cottontail




 
and placed it into the basket.




 
 
There's nothing like flowers for Easter!!


 
 
Setting The Table With Flair
 
For this year's Easter Tablescape, I am keeping things simple with a beautiful palette of fresh spring color.

 
Fresh white linen, crisp blue,



and soft, springy yellow,

 
makes for an elegant yet low-key setting.


A simple centerpiece of ample flowers in antique English Crockery,


sweet dessert forks,


and silver flatware


completes and compliments the setting.



I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather and bounty of Spring!

  11. What a beautiful Easter table! How nice that you could be outdoors. I was so wishing we could, but it was not to be. Your centerpiece may be simple, but it is definitely swoon worthy.
    Thanks for sharing all this beauty.

  17. ooops, I wasn't done talking! I hit 'enter" & it closed off my comment???
    Anyway, the inside of your home is just as lovely as the outside. I will keep that trick for anchoring the bunny in mind for next time I want to add something creative to an arrangement. I'll be turning every such purchase upside down to look for a hole before I buy it! LOL
