Easter Mantle

You know…I’m cutting it kinda close. Easter will be here in a few days. The funny thing is, I have had our mantle decorated for quite some time. I was getting a little antsy for spring, with all of that snow everywhere.

Our Easter mantle is very simple. Just a few things that I already had and my new rabbit, Brenda. You all know that simple is the the way that I roll. It helps me relax a tad. Oh…and another thing. That ironstone platter above the mirror…was a huge find! I paid fifty cents for it. Major score! It pays to dig. lol! I love to go junking always, but the thrill of the hunt is when you get a major bargain. I was very thankful!

I’m getting excited to make Easter baskets for our babies. That is always fun. I’m not sure if I will rummage around in the basement and use old baskets or buy new ones. Last year I found some really cute baskets at The Dollar General. They looked like eggs. I may just doctor those up again. New grass, a cute tag, and some goodies tucked inside. That sounds like a plan.

I found an Easter basket that I wanted from Pottery Barn. lol! It’s a tad more expensive than the ones that I mentioned above. The fun part about that? I also found it on Ebay! I love having an auction-loving Mr. I put it on the watch list.

Is it Easter bonnet weather in your neck of the woods? It’s just about flip-flop weather here. Our girls have been wearing them already. This momma has to wait a bit. My piggies turn purple when they get cold. Wee wah. lol!
