Easter 2017

Just a month late, but who's counting? I meant to post these pics of some Easter decor around the house, but am just now getting to it.  We had a great kick off to Spring, with lots of outdoor planting and spring bulbs around the house. Which prompted me to get started thinking about bulb planting outside this Fall. I am really in love with white tulips, so I'm hoping to incorporate them somewhere in the yard.  Pink tulips were a close runner up.

This white Easter bunny with black polka dots looks very modern and sort of like he has the measles. 😷

I picked up this cute modern white and gold glass Easter egg at Home Goods and these wooden bunny LED string light to decorate the fireplace mantel. I love all the white and natural elements that are so popular right now. It's clean and uncluttered but still festive.

This old bunny was a limited ceramic from Anthropologie years ago. I think it's numbered on the bottom so I think I'll keep her.

This bunny won't find any jelly beans this year, even though he looks every year for them.

My favorite Easter/Spring decoration this year were all these white tulips in clear glass hurricane vases. I lucked out and found two identical ones at Home Goods. I purchased around 6 $5 bundles of tulips from Harris Teeter and they ended up filling each vase quite nicely. The blooms lasted well into two weeks.

These gorgeous pink and cream snap dragons looked great by the front door.

I also added some more faux pink and gold eggs to my little collection that I had going. They made a cute centerpiece for our kitchen nook.

Now that spring is in full swing, it's time to start planning for summer and enjoy the cool weather while it lasts. I hope you are enjoying it.

Easter Decor at PeaHen Pad

We love all things "Holiday" related here at the PeaHen Pad.  So much so, we sometimes OD on holiday cheer.  Here's my almost 6 year old looking in on his Easter egg dying.

He dyed all 2.5 dozen of them. They turned out pretty. But he wasn't quite done with them.

Yup, he made them Monster eggs. Guess our love for Halloween transcends other holidays here.  These three represent him in the middle, his little brother on the left and his sister on the right. He loves his siblings!

Now for a little glimpse around the pad.  Getting our Easter decorations on. Here is our mantel with the usual apothecary jars, but we've added a natural potpourri in one of them and shiny glittery Easter eggs in the other one.  One still remains empty as I wasn't sure what to add. I'm thinking I need to add some natural moss with some robin eggs.

Here's a view looking down the other end of the mantel. We found the brown bunny heads on candle sticks from Anthropologie last year on sale.

Here's a close-up of the bright glittery eggs.

This is called the "Runny Bunny" from Urban Outfitters a few years ago. They are a limited edition numbered ceramic.

Runny Bunny's friend, the Poodle, also from Urban Outfitters.

I love love love these bright pink flowers from Lowes.  I put them in my triffle glass as a centerpiece with my bunny candy dish and my little creamer white ceramic animals.

I found this bunny at Home Goods a few years ago and he's sitting between our dining room and living room so we can see him on both sides.

In our hallway bath, I added this 4-egg hanging decoration to a vintage vase and added the little home-made hand towel bunny that my Aunt made a long time ago. I thought it was fitting for him to hang out in our bathroom.

Outside we have some plastic Easter eggs hanging from the bush right next to our front steps.

Our little Easter Egg welcome sign greets you as you reach the front steps.

When you get up the steps this little bunny greets you in one of our flower pots.

Back on the inside, we have a collection of figurines from the show "Peter Cottontail" that aired in the 70's. We got these from Tower Records about 12 years ago.

And finally an Easter Egg candle on our ledge.

Hope you enjoyed this little look into our Easter decorated home!  Hope you all have a very happy Easter weekend and a lovely Spring break.
