Its beginning to look a lot like Easter

13 years ago

I thought I would share a few pictures of some of my Easter decor.

First a throw rug I found at ARC for $3.99

Then a coffee table vignette using the Celtic Cross and a TS book I found about the very first Easter.

This little glass shelf was a TS find. It has 3 glass covered rabbit bowls and 3 TS books, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck, and The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher. The flowers are also TS, and the pink fairy at the top was Rass this year.

A close up:

This is a vignette in the dining room. The purple candles were GoodWill this spring for .85c ea. The metal retro sign was a gs find, $1. and the ceramic chick vase was another TS find. The candlesticks are some I bought yrs ago at Big Lots and dry brushed them gold. The table runner is from Dollar Tree, and the ceramic egg was a clearance item at Ross last year.

I will post more pictures later.

TTFN,

Candy

Candy, I can't believe you found PURPLE candles at GW. I haven't even seen them in the stores for that matter! And the ceramic chick is darling too. At least I don't have "glass bunny envy", I have them too. ;o)
The candlesticks look great with touch of gold by the way.

Thanks for sharing tonight since I'm doing my late-night-
online as usual. All distractions always welcome, especially tonight.

hugs, Karen

Candy, I'm loving your Easter decorations. I especially like the Celtic Cross paired with the purple candles.
Happy Anniversary, and Happy Birthday to your little DGD.

Some of you knew that I worked 24 hours on and 24 hours off taking care of an Elderly (OLDER than me) lady in her 90's. She is not doing too well and so they let two of us go. She's not expected to live much longer so it's probably a blessing in disguise. At my age and where we live there really are no jobs. Around here just having ANY job is considered a good job. Unless you are familiar with rural areas you probably can not relate to this. LOL I just have to put my faith in the good Lord that he will provide me with whatever I will need. Notice I didn't say with whatever "I Want". Karyn, you are OH SO VERY RIGHT. It is a perfect time to be off for awhile and work in the yard/fields and so forth. I have a bunch of trees that the wind blew down that need to be pushed up and burned and lots of little odds and end jobs on the place to tidy up. The only bad thing about that is that it will be much harder work, and NO PAY. LOL Well I guess the pay will be having it cleaned up and looking better. Now if these Thunder Storms would move out I could get back to planting my daffodils and so forth. Needless to say, that dumb hole (New Pond) in the front yard is full of water AGAIN. I'd love to be able to get the darn liner in it before NEXT WINTER. LOL We're suppose to have another round of storms at the end of the week. Go Figure. This is exactly what happened last year and it rained EVERYDAY for over 2 months here. I pray we're not in for a repeat of that. Didn't mean to write a book, but I always feel better when talking about plants and so forth. Happy Gardening Ya'll and please pray for me. Love Marian

Punk...love the ribbon candles & your new napkins...perfect for this table! And that angel dish with your little girl is precious...& a remembrance of your DM! F&F centerpc is so darn cute & fits so well with the big balls in the place settings ...& candlelight, everywhere! Always enjoy that ... I do see those pretty ornie candleholders (like on my Santa shelf)...& your pencil ones are darn cute, too! My goodness, woman, you are on a roll! This table is so "festive" & ready for "spreading the cheer!" Love it! TFS! Jeanne S.

Beginning to Look a Lot like Kitchen

THANKS! I'll try to get more pics up tomorrow. The master bath cabinetry went in yesterday, but it's hard to see what it will look like yet, especially since the chocolate stained cherry doesn't photograph well in a house with no lights yet. We'll be painting all weekend in the old areas of the house which were not added on. Couldn't justify paying the GC to paint, which is the about the only DIY project I CAN do. (Well, sort of.)

Thanks all! @farmhousegirl, that's a 1954 O'Keefe and Merritt High-Vue 535---it came with the house, but is looking far better these days than when we moved in. I really wish I'd taken some "before" photos, but we replaced all the handles (the original ones had been swapped out for some square 60s handles at some point, which had melted against the stove...oops!) and are in the process of fixing the periscope and having a local restoration company rewire it and fix some wonkiness (the lights and periscope actually work now but it's still taken apart so no photos yet). We actually tried to move it out of the kitchen while demo was happening, but it didn't fit through the door, so I'm at a loss as to how they got it in there! (House is circa 1915, so clearly not the original stove.) Can't wait to finally use it again! @hydrangea, beautiful pulls! We're using a similar style but a bit simpler---linked below. Still not sure on the inset cabinets, though. Here is a link that might be useful: Our pulls

Love that coffee table vignette, with the book. I like your idea of using books in vingettes. I have little green glass bunnies I bought last year, and I CAN"T find them! The baby chick vase and sign are precious! Can't believe you found those at TS.

Candy...love the purple accents and your coffee table vignette.
That baby chick (love vintage) is my favorite.
Seems like many of us have those glass bunnies. I like how you displayed yours with the books.
Happy Anniversary To YOu & Happy Birthday to your DGD!

Candy, your bunny rug is so cute. Your celtic cross and Very First Easter book look nice with the purple candles and greenery on your coffee table. The little glass shelf is so pretty with the bunnies, books and flowers.

Love the book cover with chicks pulling the girl riding an egg cart. How cute! Adding your cute chick, candles and rose egg is perfect.

Nana, thanks for reminding me to wish Candy a Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to little DGD. Hope it's a fun day for all.

It all looks great Candy. That little shelf is the perfect place to display your glass bunnies. The rug is so pretty, how could someone donate that???? Your vignette is great too, love the purple candles, gold brushed candle holders and especially that cute little chick. Luvs

Very Spring-y, candy...& so pretty. Like ladypat, I love how you used "books"...& how you displayed those little ones on that 3 tier rack. The Easter book is beautifully accented w/that purple & your Celtic cross...lovely!

That rug is quite a find...is it on your carpet or where are you putting it? Back of an overstuffed chair would look cool. Your "tin" print is so cute...I have a graphics CD book called "Memories of a Lifetime" "Animals" & there are several pages of vintage postcards that remind me of your tin. Love 'em!

Lookin' forward to more pics coming! Jeanne S.

I'm loving all the purple you used it looks great with your cross and First Easter book. Your bunny rug is darling and such a bargain. Like PM I have the glass bunny baskets too, but I am having serious baby chick envy. I just did a vignette today with a book and chicks and I love your sign and planter. Marlene we don't have ARCs here either, but I go there when I visit my son in Chicago, it's a great TS. Candy, it really does look like Easter at your house, just lovely.

Karen, not only are the candles purple, but they smell wonderful!!

Nana, thanks for the good wishes. It has been a wonderful day.

Pat, I found the tin sign first and when I saw that little chick vase, I knew they would look great together.

Jane, I bought another tin sign at the same GS and it is in another vignette yet to be photographed. Thanks for the good wishes.

Punk, thanks for the sweet comments and the good wishes.
As for the cross and first Easter book, just like Christmas, I like to acknowledge the reason for the holiday, not just the cutsie traditions.

Marlene, thank you. ARC is Association for Retarded Citizens and is a chain of TS's' They are all over CO. I don't know if they are in other states.

Luvs and Jeanne, the bunny rug is brand new and is on my carpet at the entrance to my dining room. I sure wouldn't donate something like that, but I am glad someone did!!

Frou, based on your response, I guess they have ARC's in Illinois! Thanks, Easter is breaking out all over around here. I will post more pictures later.

Thanks everybody,
Candy
