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!

From our dirt road…to yours,
