So here is an idea for an Easter wreath, because why should wreaths be made only for Christmas? ;-) I've come up with it last week, when I needed an Easter gift for my husband's family and I knew it'll have to last for quite a few days. So here it is, a cute, non-wilting, fuzzy Easter wreath, and I'm hoping to start a new trend here, so help me out!
I'm still not back at home, but I managed to get hold of a cumputer with Internet access for a moment, so I'm publishing a few photos I've prepared last week :-) And yes, I do realize that Easter is officially over now, but there'll be another one in a year, plus I guess everyone still has some Easter decorations at home ;-)

And a third idea in the series of egg-tray Easter decoration, a cute, simple piece of Spring for your table :-)
I really like the idea of turning drab-looking egg-trays into Easter decorations with high prettiness and cuteness factors ;-) So of course once I started to experiment, i couldn't stop at one... So here's another version:
Not much time left till Easter, so if you still haven't come up with an idea for a table decoration, I suggest one of these two, which I've come up with last week. A goose egg filled with water, wrapped with bits of wool (you can skip that part), with some flowers put inside (you can even use bits of potted flowers you've already got at home) and put in a glass, candle holder or other small pretty container, so that it stays upright. And that's it - 5 min and you're done :-)
First, I'd like to say that yesterday was my name-day, and I'd like to thank everyone who remembered :-)
Second, tomorrow I'm going away for over a week, so I might not be able to blog too often in the upcoming days - but I promise to make up for it later! And third, here is the portion of Easter cuteness I've promised you in the title of this post - my interpretation of the idea of using egg-trays for Easter decorations :-) Easy and quite fast to make, and you don't need to be a florist to make a similar arrangement. The basic idea is to put a few flowers into egg-shells filled with water, arrange them in an egg-tray and add a fluffy chicken or a bunny for good measure ;-) So if you're not that good with manual crafts and don't have much time to spare, this piece of Easter deco is ideal for you. Good luck! ...or, more precisely, cups decorated with subtle bits of flowers. Classic, delicate, hand-crafted and elegant, these china cups by Royal Copenhagen are a great idea for an Easter gift or an addition to your cup collection. Or just nice to admire, since their design is an interesting one. The collection is called The Language of Flowers, and each one of them comes with its own flowery name. After all it's already Spring, so we do want flowers everywhere! ;-) You can find out more about them if you click here. Enjoy! Today is a pretty special day for me since it's my second wedding anniversary :-)
Some of you may think that being married for 2 years is not exactly a great achievement, but let me assure you, in my case it is. The only thing I'm not so sure about is what's a bigger achievement - the fact that I actually did get married and stayed that way for 2 years now, or that my husband is still married to me. I think the latter one - and that's probably because he's a very patient, understending, supportive and exceptional man - with the emphasis on patient ;-) But enough of this personal stuff! Let's talk about flowers today, especially that an anniversary always means (or at least should mean) that women get flowers :-) And once we get them, we need to put them into a vase, and that's where we can also get creative. Since floristry has become so pupular in the last decade or so, so have the flower vases become a popular object of interior design. Today we can get them in an amazing range of shapes, sizes, materials etc. And this time I've come across a website which offers some really intriguing designs - mostly modern, with emphasis on clean lines, but I find each of them pretty intriguing, even though I wouldn't put some of them on my table ;-) I think I like the first 3 best. And which one is your favourite? They all come from this website: www.yliving.com Another portion of cute Easter decorations, this time from www.potterybarn.com. Amazing how many things you can do with eggs, chicken and bunnies! Plus, while I cannot stand eating eggs, I have nothing against them in their decorative form ;-) So if your home still isn't ready to celebrate Easter, it's probably hight time to start! Although I'm probably not the best example myself, since it was only two weeks ago that I "de-assembled" one of our Christmas trees... ;-) I don't remember when was the last time I was as busy as I've been these last few weeks, but I'm trying very hard not to neglect my blog! Still, please be patient with me :-)
Today I have for you a few ideas for how to transform an ordinary cupcake/muffin into an Easter one - with decorative eggs, ducks, chicks, bunnies and even sheeps ;-) Use them for inspiration! I've found them at www.foodnetwork.com. |
