Happy Easter to you all! It's a lovely time of year with Spring flowers and festivities taking place. A couple weeks ago we spent an hour at a local garden center admiring their beautiful displays of Spring flowers in baskets. I knew I had a few small empty baskets so we bought some trays of primroses and miniature daffodils to make our own pretty displays.
We lined the baskets with a piece of bin bag and instead of buying foliage plants we used some strawberry plants from the garden.
Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of the finished baskets until yesterday and by then the little daffodils had gone over but I think you can still see how pretty how they turned out and how welcoming they are by the front door.
We have also been making our Easter "tree". Georgia and I cut branches from the garden and used some decorations we had from previous years as well as some other Easter bits and bobs to decorate with.
I found these very sweet little chicks at last weekends' boot sale. I think they are perfect for the Easter table.
We then spent hours (and I do mean hours!) baking and decorating cookies and cupcakes.
Decorating baked goods is never as easy as I think it will be and I have great admiration for those craftspeople who do it so well! Still, we came up with some very festive examples:
(the green at the bottom is supposed to be grass!)
Lastly, I want to show you this gorgeous hydrangea my wonderful husband bought for me. It is such a beautiful combination of pale pink and pale greens; perfect for Easter time!
Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend!
Till next time...
