lovely Easter collection

14 years ago

Occasionally I check out HGTV's message boards, and a Holiday one catches my interest. One gal in particular decorates wonderfully and I had asked her previously if I could put some things in our Inspiration album. Her name on there is Christmascandy. And boy does she loves Christmas, I told her she'd fit right in here with us and hope someday she will join us.

Meanwhile she just shared her Easter photos with me. I'll be putting around 6 or 7 in our Easter album later tonight.

But here's a peak at a curio cabinet of her's with some lovely collectibles for Easter. Its a picture of the top half and then the bottom half, so you can see things better.

Thanks, Candy!!

I'm also attaching the link to the HGTV holiday board, and I had posted our link there, during Christmas I believe.

hugs, Karen

Yacht, it might have something to do with your pop-up blocker settings? I'm not sure how those work, mine isn't blocking the photos tho.

I've got Candy's photos in our Easter album now, so you can see them at least.
hugs, Karen

Have: Sun Loving Perennial Collection

This is an SASBE offer for one person for sun-loving perennial seeds. Hmmm...wonder if this offer is still open or not...just wondering as the OP usually closes them after the quota is met. btw...I see there are several who have no email links on their pages and several have their emails blocked. Responders above might want to check their email setting so that they can receive emails via the GW form and also that they have the drop down setting to show email addy to Members Sue...rbb

My Easter dessert. Bragging. If you love banana pudding!

FYI, I measured out 3 cups finely ground vanilla wafers. That will help save on the math :o) Plus I made 1 1/2 custard recipe so I could have some for the top. Had to use toothpicks though to keep it from sliding. It is a keeper recipe for me as my family loves real banana pudding and this cake tops it. Made the cakes on Friday, Saturday the custard and assembled Sunday morning.

Easter cupcakes not for Easter

@texanjana -- I don't have a pic, handy, but I'll tell you this, it took two batches of frosting to get the technique and to find the right consistency of frosting. I'll be honest, one early attempt using pink frosting lining the inside of the bag, stripes of red color gel, and a white interior (like the videos instruct) just ended up looking like a sea anemone, rather than flower! Great for a monster from the deep theme, not so much for spring flowers. Playing with the various tips was fun.

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!

Yacht, that message board has a tendency to block the pictures if you are not signed in. You will usually have to register and sign in to view pictures. HTH

ahh, JayB, I totally forgot about that. I registered so long ago with them. Glad you posted that info so others can check it out. I think their Holiday Forum is fairly new, and just getting going. Candy is one of their main gals it seems. She's a decor Queen, I love seeing what she does. I also check some of their forums to see what's going on. Tho rarely post.

hugs, Karen

Hi Candy, and WELCOME. I'm so glad you joined us! Especially since I have a bunch of your photos already in several of our Inspiration albums. LOL.
Its so neat you were BORN on Christmas Day. No wonder you're a true Christmas 'fanatic' with decorating. ;o)

What is the next Holiday you will be decorating for? Do you keep some Spring decor up after packing Easter away?
Do you collect anything special (besides Holiday stuff)?

If you're not into dishes or tablesettings, some of the gals here will be glad entice, enable, and excite you with theirs I'm sure. If they can make me like dishes, then anyone is fair game. LOL. (but they can't make me like cooking.)

hugs, Karen

Hi Candy, I'm so glad Karen invited you over here! We really enjoyed your pictures she shared with us, you have some beautiful ceramic items. I'm sure you probably collect lots more than just the bunny and Easter items, so hope you will show us some of those too.

Since it's sometimes a long time between holidays, we like to do tablescapes, vignettes, or just share pics of things we've found on our shopping trips even. So please jump right in and join us--and tell us more about yourself too if you want. For instance, do you only collect certain things or a variety? What part of the country are you in? Working, retired, or lady of leisure? (Is any woman one of those?) LOL

I hope you will find it fun here. I'll look forward to reading/seeing more from you.
