Happy Spring/Easter!

14 years ago

We've had sunshine & warmer weather the last couple of days, so out came some Spring & Easter decs. I've never decorated for St. Pat's day, so I don't have any items for that holiday. It's been so nice to feel like Spring is almost here!

Here's a wreath I made using some eggs I found at T.J. Maxx. It usually hangs outside our front door, but the lighting wasn't very good, & the egg colors didn't show up.

Here's another wreath I made for the bathroom.

My chest decorated:

I bought these eggs a few years ago at Pier One, so I added them into an old wood bowl as a centerpiece for our table.

Here's my kitchen cabinet decorated:

I sure enjoy all your posts although I don't get to comment each time. It's so fun to see how everyone displays things for each holiday/season!

Wonderful! That tray is fantastic! Don't think I've ever seen one like it--great gift from your Mom. The sweet little bunnies look so cute in all their pastel colors and with such cute expressions. Great job on the wreaths too.

Happy Spring/Summer Gardening: Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter Cact

Hi, mrlike2u =) yea, all the ones that rooted in bark seem to be doing real good. There's by far more oxygen that flows to the roots, vs compacted soil; and the watering can almost be equal to a rainforest as it just flows straight through, and quickly dries. Also, the EC has very small roots compared to the other two holiday cacti, so maybe next spring I'll transplant if it looks to need it. Good morning Josh! You're always too kind. I think that the almost immediate success of pure bark is what drove me to post about it. If you look through the threads, all you see are a good few handfuls of people that are failing to keep their holiday cacti, and orchids alive; and they either give up on them throwing them in the trash (which is really sad) or have some sliver of hope left to keep them alive (but most the time they're really nervous about it) So it's like, if I can provide some insight that I've learned through my experiences, and those learned by people like you, and show through pictures how easy it is; then maybe we can have more success stories. People need to understand that super market holeless pot, and this over dried out soil that never seems to get wet, doesn't success make. I'll go into stores and can tell that rot has set in, or that they're on their last leg, and I honestly just want to rescue all of them! I also notice that everyone comments with their own successful potting mediums, and they're all so different, and so many of them that people get confused and still don't end up with the answer that they originally asked (I think in a way it kind of scares them off.) So if by chance someone with a question clicks here and sees close up pictures of what mine are in, and how they're able to grow so successful; hopefully that person can take something away and have just the same (or even better) success story.

Wow, what a beauty you have near your house, and it's all for Easter. The Lord wanted to please you with beautiful flowers for this wonderful holiday. I usually go to church with my friends in the morning to pray first and then start celebrating this magnificent holiday. And while I'm going to church, I feel this festive atmosphere all over the city, and it inspires me a lot and also lifts my spirits. For some reason, even nature looks different on this day. After all, this world has a great connection between the Lord God and nature. Thank you for the photos. They are beautiful!

plllog, not speaking for dcarch (so should probably keep my mouth shut!) but I think it's why he's paired it with the rib steak, and mentions ham as it's an Easter tradition for those who don't keep kosher... or those who aren't Jewish (?) I could be totally wrong on the intent, of course. My apologies, dcarch, if I am... dcarch: "as was pointed out, SV = sous vide. A very fancy word for an automatic cooking method designed for some one like me who can't cook. :-)" That, dear sir, is a bald-faced lie : ) We all know you can cook. But yes, it's wonderful for those who have difficulties with some things, and wonderful in so many other ways.

Hi cindylou...I love your kitchen cabinet and how you've brought Spring into your home! The top display is awesome & the bunnies on the enamel top are very cute! That tray your Mom gave you is WONDERFUL & looks great up there!

Using the word, "simplicity," as a compliment, I love everything you have done here...the wreaths & the pcs on the top of the chest & the wood bowl of eggs. TFS! Jeanne S.

I love it. I understand that feeling. I put up the red candles and winter like stuff and got out the yellow and green pots and metal containers to put in my daughters family room. I got out a yellow wooden wine bottle container??? and a yellow birdhouse. I put up the plain lite brown drapes and put the hawaiian swag back on it. I am gona do the same in the dining room but use the green items since she has blue transfer ware and I have put a lot of colbalt blue bottles and vases in there on top of her hutch and her bookshelves. I am gona go over to storage and get the easter bunnies and things out. I have a couple of the metal bunny plates also. One is the King Arthur I think...ts find last spring.I am hoping to keep it clean and simple also except for a day or two near the holidays.

I'm in love with your pewter platter. I have to have one of those. I have my St.Patrick's window up, but just realized Easter is less than a month away. I am debating if I should go ahead and decorate now for Easter or wait until after St.Patricks....

Cindy, the egg colors on your wreath actually showed up fine on my monitor. Your Arthur Court tray is wonderful.
I love their rabbit pieces and have several of them, also some of the rabbit picture frames. The setting in the 3rd photo, with the brown bunny, really appeals to me, tho I like all you've done.

hugs, Karen

Cindy,
That egg wreath is perfect!! Not too crowded but enough to have the easter feel. And I love your kitchen cabinet with the bunnies. The cabinet itself is beautiful and your arrangement is just right for it.

Cindy, everything is lovely - I love how you've decorated the top of your Hoosier. Pretty but not overdone (as I am sooo prone to doing) and the bunny tray is fantastic. I love birdcages. You've done a nice job on the wreaths and all the other decor is very pretty as well.

I think I'm now going to put away 3/4 of what I have out. Perhaps less is more (sometimes) altho I have great difficulty with that concept. TFS I learn so much here.

Good to hear from you, your decorations are super, love the pastel eggs on the wreath. Lucky, don't you dare put anything away. CLH, I know what you mean about not being able to comment on everypost, this forum is so active now, it's hard to find time to comment on every post, even so, I look at everyone. It makes me feel guilty about posting pics, if I don't get to ooh and awww over everyone else's.

Cindy, your spray wreath is such a nice change and your eggs look great on it. Enjoyed seeing all your bunnys and eggs displayed.

I love your Arthurs Court tray and the way you have it displayed. It's so wonderful that DM gave it to you and I can tell it will be treasured forever.

Hope you can find more time to come play with us here.
