Happy Easter Piccies

Well first of all let me start by saying HAPPY EASTER to you all!

I thought I would start Good Friday off by showcasing some of my past Easter decorations...These particular pictures were taken at my last house...infact this was Easter 2008.

 Freddy made this teacup candleabre and it was featured on the Marie Claire idees website...which we were very chuffed about.

Nobody knew back then that we lived on a rather new Island with lots of new houses around us (most peeps thought we lived in an older house!)

 ...it was rather lovely though as we had three floors and looked over basin 2, which used to be visited by war ships and tall ships alike...

  it was like being on holiday every day, living there...sigh!

Decorating your house for Easter couldn't be easier...get out those egg cups from your kitchen cupboards and display them around the house next to pretty postcards.

...buy Easter cards that you would like to receive yourself and display them in card holders (above)...or you might already have cards that have been sent to you...so this would be a lovely way to display them rather than just plonking them along the mantle or window sill.

 Display your Easter stash of pretties...just like here...these above are artificial flowers...and I seem to of lost them over the years...this year I have gone into the Garden and picked my own...I have that yellow plant in the garden and I have also picked and made arrangements of  my lovely pastel pink Ribes (thanks Sairer for telling me what it was ;) I love ya xx)

 As for all the lovely sweet treats...I cannot display those until Easter Sunday, as they will all be eaten up and won't look all lovely on display!....with just the wrappers for show! Yep! even though my kids are now 18 and 22...they will still be naughty and eat all the treats...and then swear blind it wasn't them that ate them! :) Grrr!

 I love this apple moneybox...not a very obvious Easter decoration, but it is lovely and bright...and that is the main thing...decorating the house with the things that you love and make you happy is the key to a happy life...

Oh I soooo love bunnies and this felt bunny garland will be used again this year...I do remember finding it the other day and putting it somewhere for safe keeping....do lets hope I can find it again lol!

 Well! as I said...I will be bringing you some more pictures over the weekend of my springtime flowers and decorations for this year...I plan a Easter Egg hunt for Easter Sunday! lol! yep even though my kiddies are grown ups now...I still like to keep up the traditions...when I said the other day about, perhaps they were too old for it...Rosie was horrified! so at the moment I am trying to find little things that fit into those plastic refillable eggs that I seem to of bought! Oh what fun! lol!

Do you decorate your house for Easter?...and if you do...what have you been creating and buying for the Holidays?

Do you have Older or younger children...and do you still give Easter Eggs or have you started giving gifts for Easter...


Come on gals I am interested here...what are you all getting up too!


Bye Bye for now my lovelies.

Happy Easter
