My Easter Pics :-)

SHOPR — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:59:44 GMT

I decided to go really simple with the VPH 3-pc mirror centerpiece and not add too much to my table.

The mantel is a combination of things old and new that I happen to like, so I just decided to throw them all together. I didn't even use my garland that I normally weave among my things.

The pic of the wire apothecary jar with speckled eggs is the way I decided to keep it for now.

Oh, and the Azaleas next to the wire apothecary are real. They have just started blooming here in the Southeast and are such a welcome sight. The huge blankets of pollen coating everything, not so much!

I added the Azaleas to the pic for all of you still longing for Spring to enjoy.

I think it all looks great! Thanks for sharing your photos. I like the mantel with all the different items. I have a problem with thinking everything needs to be all matched up so mine usually is not that interesting. I need to get over that! Love the jar with the pastel eggs and the egg wreath. Is that two bunny item on the easel a plate or plaque? It looks vintage and that's really pretty.

So pretty, shopr. I, too, love the bunny collection especially the canvas (?) pic of the two bunnies. So lovely.

It's so good to get ideas from all the creative women on this board. Keep the ideas and pics coming, ladies.

I forgot to add that I ordered some unpainted bisque figurines from an Ebay seller--two kinds of bunnies and a hen and peeps. I'm going to paint the bunnies chocolate and my GD, who is more artistic than I, will do the hen and peeps in multiple colors. They are out for delivery. I've been wanting a "chocolate" bunny figurine for so long.

I love them SHOPR - LOVE that egg wreath!! Can I ask where you got it? as well as the loose eggs in pic #6 with the foil bunny and flowers? Believe it or not, it is so hard to find pretty eggs like that.

I just noticed the blue bird in pic #1. I just got a yellow one at Michaels recently that looks familiar!

I like the way you've put all of your vignettes together, especially the one with the VPH wire container. Nice job and nice pictures...thanks for sharing them.

It all looks so lovely SHOPR. I love the mantle with the old and the new mixed and the items on the mirrors on the dining room table are just right. Not too much so the beautiful mirrors show up nicely.

thanks so much for sharing. have fun painting your chocolate bunny.

Thank you, mallemo. I'm almost certain that I got the bunny picture several years ago at either Collections or Terry's Village, at a closeout price. It is made like a 1-inch wrapped canvas print, but it is more paper-like in texture. It is the only bunny item that I have with a b&w bunny.

For so many years I always wanted everything symmetrical, too. It seems like once I decided to stop doing that, I have a hard time going back to symmetrical, at least on my mantel. I can't explain why! Can't wait to see what you've done for Easter if you decide to share pics this year.

Nana5, That sounds like fun! Let us know how the painting turns out. I bought a couple of chocolate resin bunnies a few years ago. Unfortunately, they don't show up well against my dark walls--I sometimes feel like I'm in a cave. I keep saying I am going to paint the walls a light color, but other more important things keep getting in the way. One day!

Kel, The egg wreath is from CVS Pharmacy a few years back. I did see a similar one at Walmart last week for $12.97. It had a mixture of small and much bigger pastel speckled eggs, with the grapevine running throughout. The loose eggs inside the wire jar are from Walmart, $2.97 a box. I used two boxes in the wire jar in the photo.

Yes, the blue bird on the mantel is Ashland collection from Michael's, from a few years ago. I didn't know that Michael's was still selling them in a similar style, but I'm glad they are. I'd like to have a couple more.
