Spring Easter Table 2016

I know that it's quite early for Easter, but I enjoyed toying around with the table setting for this important holiday the other day, and thought that I might share them already!

The bunnies are out!









Peonies and bunnies? Yes in our household ;-)


Craft-free and DIY-free Easter this year, just pure decorating! I also don't have any new piece except for the 1 chocolate bunny in between the 2 moss ones. That's were my bunny collecting is headed, and I think, that is SWEET!


How about you, ready for Spring or Easter yet?

Have a Lovely Day!

Easter Dining Room Decor thru the years

Did you know I was a Reluctant Easter Decorator initially?!

I couldn't believe ME either but you can see how my decor for Easter has evolved thru the years in this post.

From Less to more and more and then just right (I think). 

I hope wherever you are, may the joy of this Easter Season be with you and your family!
God bless!!!

HAPPY EASTER!

Spring in the Dining Room

Hello Everyone!

I hope your weekend was wonderful, with or without snow, I know with Easter 2 weeks away, "Spring Fever"is in your mind and home already!

I had a not-so-terrific one since I started the weekend with a viral illness. Luckily, it was over in 48 hours, hence, I'm able to write this post. However, not much done in terms of enjoying the weather outside. :-( 
Again, I'm not complaining, because, like I said last week, I was able to decorate our home for SPRING already!

Let's head off to our Dining room first!


Blue & white remains
 I kept a lot of the blue & white from winter around, the reason being, I'm not tired of it BEING HERE! It made decorating this room so much easier too!



Of course, I added the bunnies and actually moved a few of my blue & white collection to the Living room!

Simple Easter Centerpiece
 I used my 2 older laser-cut felt placemats as a small runner and added my Faux Chocolate bunnies with moss 'rocks' I scored from the Dollar store. 
I also removed the babies breath flowers from my Chinoiserie planter and added my faux white eggs & some carrots. :-)

Absolutely adore these bunnies!
 Every year, my son thinks these are real and would try to take a bite!! LOL! 

Pretty Cherry Blossom stems
I made the Cherry Blossom stems and will share it with you on my next post. I love how long and tall they are and hope you can see the Moss rabbits in between the stems jumping about!

These 2 Silver metallic bunnies (sorry for the picture color) are the only 2 new things I bought for Easter. Got it from a  new local store in town!

My Mirror shelves just got some extra bunny dose too!


There you have it. 
I promise to share with you first how I made my Cherry blossom branches in my next post.

So, are you ready for Spring in your home? The cleaning is the 'hard' part right, I try to do it one room at a time, and so it doesn't feel overwhelming. It does take longer, but the 'quality' of cleaning, I think, is better.

Have a Great week!

Easter Dining Room 2014

Spring and Easter has finally arrived in our home!

I've been slacking on this for the longest time and you know me, I'm usually VERY early on the decorating band-wagon for the seasons or holidays, but this year, something just came up... ;-)

Anyway, enough excuses, here's my Easter Dining room for this year!


Easter is definitely a time for some cute-ness!
Again, I think I went a bit overboard, because this year, we won't be celebrating Easter at home.
We'll be at a friends house and that's where the action will be, so my Dining room is really just for 'DISPLAY ONLY' ;-)!


Moss Rabbits in my Credenza

I decided to use my Bird cage and fill it with eggs my kids have gotten from Easters-past. 
As you can see, from the size of this thing, a whole huge shopping-bagful wasn't enough!

My Easter Tablescape
I got the Faux Chocolate bunnies last year on clearance at "Cracker Barrel" and absolutely love them!
I also spread some nests with white eggs atop and capiz shell egg as a centerpiece.
I made the runner myself using these...

Dollar Tree Doillies - Coincidentally Radiant Orchid Doillies!

Simple and Easy
Initially too, I only had EGGS and RABBITS on my table, but...
Yup, flowers were definitely in order
I also changed up my glass shelving display with some paper-mache eggs I scored from a Garage sale and a Duckling candle from Goodwill. The Humpty Dumpty teapot was a prize my son won at a carnival and given to me. :-)

Re-used the same Easter Doillie Banner I made last year



That's it for now. I'll show you the living room next week!
So how about you? Are you ready for Easter? Spring? Hope so.

Hope you have a Wonderful Spring Day!

Our Easter Sunday

It was the day of Easter and everyone was happy

Christ the Lord has risen, to God be the Glory!

Our table was set & the food was yummy...

I was so giddy to use Pink!

Sansrival made by yours truly

Home-Made Cupcakes by La Dolce Vita
Friends arrive to join in the merry


The Pineda Family

The baskets were ready...

My Dollar Store Easter Baskets


Delivered by none other than The Easter Bunny

Yup, the Easter bunny came right in our front lawn!

Isn't he adorable?

The Garland was hung on the window with care..

Dollar store Doillie and foam stickers - a last minute garland

In hopes that the children would have a fun fare.

So we filled up our bellies with food a plenty

And thanked the Lord for this wonderful blessing and bounty.

Then we began the run and the fun for the Easter Egg hunt!

All Set to go!

They were all set and ready as they began in a hurry





Searching for the eggs in every nook and cranny...

And in the end, we examined our loot


With the candies and toys to top off our day

It was truly a very happy Easter day!
