An Easter vignette

Like many of you, I love to decorate for holidays, and Easter is one of my favorite holidays. As with other holidays, I use my mother's dough cabinet as a backdrop to create a simple holiday vignette.

Here's the cabinet decked out for Easter:






On the left, I simply wrote "Happy Easter" on my Goodwill-plate-turned-chalkboard-platter and added some antique bunnies and candlesticks. I'm trying to decide if I want to use my Easter candles here or in the dining room. I may need to make another pair!

On the right, I grouped a pitcher of daffodils, some antique jars filled with jelly beans (the one Easter candy that doesn't tempt me and is therefore safe to have in the house), and a bunny teapot.

My favorite elements are the antique bunnies. Look at this little guy closely:




He and his friends all have holes in the backs, so that you can insert your own cotton to make their tails. See?



Kitschy, yes, but vintage kitschy, so I like it.

How do you decorate for Easter?

  5. Well, I love your vintage kitschy bunnies! :) My Easter stuff is sitting in boxes in my Family room right now. Need to get it out ASAP!

    PS. I laughed so hard at your comment today. I can recite Richard Scary's "I am a Bunny" from heart. It was both of my girls' favorite "first" book. The things we do for our kids, right? :)

  6. You just brought back a great memory for me.
    When I was a teenager, I had a sweet little ceramic bunny that held my cottonballs the same way. Shoulda held onto it! ;)

  8. Your mother's dough cabinet is such a lovely piece and your decorations look so nice on it! I love to display bunnies at this time of year, but mine are still packed away. I'm hoping to get my Easter things out this weekend.
