A Little Bit of Easter

I finally put a few little things out for Easter.  I have never decorated much for Easter, I think in part because I have always decorated my house in some shade of red and green, and the pastels of most spring decor just don't look that great in my house.

But, I can't let the holiday pass completely undecorated!  So here are a few little touches found around the house.

An arrangement that I have had forever, with my 2 favorite spring color combos ~ yellow and purple.  

                            

  Love the little bird nest, and my little birds {from Nell Hill's} that sit out most of the time.

The little table that acts as an entry hall table near my stairs.  

I love this little needlepoint pillow with the sweet ball fringe.

I put a real ivy in a yellow pot.  I'm trying to substitute real greenery for some of my faux.  I know you aren't supposed to use the fake, but I have the worst luck with real plants.  I put out 3 real ivy's and 1 fern and am down to 2 ivys.  I know I will continue with the faux, I just go through this phase every now and then when I have to give the real a chance!  

 Sweet little bunny plate.  I bought 3 of these a few years ago at Ross and have looked for more for the last 3 years.  I check TJMaxx and Home Goods frequently but never see them anymore. :-(

The guest bath gets a thing or 2.

                            Easter egg soap for the grands.

I love oil paintings, and this little one of bunnies is especially sweet.  It has several different homes, but I thought for now I'd hang it here.

A narrow shot of a chair in the family room with its new needlepoint pillow.  

The other chair has a new similar pillow ~ love them both, and they will be staying out all summer.  They look great with my colors in the family room.  I found the pillows when my sister and I got out shopping for a bit a few weeks ago.  She got a pillow too, and we both got the little black and white bunny you see perched on the red books.  He is spotted, but I didn't get a very good picture of him I guess.

This little guy is on the same table, facing the door ~ and he holds treats for my 4 little visitors.  I have to get the colors just right you know.  Pink for Elizabeth, Cooper's favorite color is green, Ben has decided on green too, and Jackson gets the left over color!!

I am joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for my very first Tabletop Tuesday.  I do Bible study on Monday nights and always get home so late, but I've always wanted to join in the fun.

Also joining Kim at Savvy Southern Style for Wow us Wednesday.
