This year I found a way to do Easter adornments using my own slightly gothy and deteriorated decorating style!
I already owned pretty much everything seen. I collect old stuffed animals and a few years ago realized most of them were rabbits, which meant they could do a grand easter showing.
I picked up the easter baskets over the last few years just so we each had something for Mr. Cottontail to place a few treats in. I am using them as display for now until Easter Eve.
Some of my new vintage Easter purchases this year.
Sweet little honeycomb hunny bunnies!
I am nuts about those vintage Meyercord water decals depicting lively stuffed animals (check out PB's nursery)!
I printed out a few that featured bunnies and a chick (Easter appropriate) on a large format printer at our local library several months ago to use as wall decor.
I placed the 'new' napkins inside little woven wicker basket purses along with some plastic grass and eggs. The runner table covering thingie underneath is a piece of remnant wall paper found at an estate sale.
I love spun satin ball critters! These little guys are all from estate sales over the last 2 years. I got the plastic flowers from a church rummage sale, the basket and clear Easter grass are from a thrift store.
I threw everything together and am calling it the centerpiece!
The area on top of the china cabinet is always hard to photograph due to being back-lit but I was able to snap this pic during a moment of overcast.
These most adorable bunnies are over 2 1/2 feet tall and in pristine condition. I found them at estate sales several years back.
So there you have it! My first full fledged Easter decorating. I was able to find a way to come to a compromise with this pastely pukey holiday and do it mmmmyyyy waaay!
Bitten off all your chocolate bunny ears and need some additional sweets to enjoy?!
