Easter TableScape

When we think of Easter, we think of lovely bright colors or pastel colors like pink, blue, yellow, and lavender. Some of my decorating does include those colors. However, for my table scape, I decided to go in another direction - browns and whites.

 I found these candle holders at a close out sale a couple of years ago, and to be honest, I forgot I had them.

The Livingstone Daisy - MeZoo Trailing Red, now that is a mouth full is a sprawling to mounding daisy plant with succulent green leaves edged with white, occasionally accented with button-sized red flowers in spring.

All Things Bunny!

I have been working on my Easter decorating and found my bunny pillows. Well one of them does not have a bunny on it, but it is pink. Does that count? This year I decided to put the pillows on my bench.

I am thinking of redoing that bench, but that is for another time.

Old window makes a great display!

  Life on Lakeshore Drive  
My husband said, "this window is falling apart". He was kind of right. The one side was not so bad, but it was the other side that caught my eye. When I picked it up however, the paint and part of the window was coming off in my hands. For $1.00 I had to have it. I love old windows.

I didn't want to clean it up because I thought it might fall apart. Instead, I just use it as is.

Pansies or Violets?

Pansies love spring weather. It seems other than the typical Easter flowers, pansies are the first plants to become available in early spring. They thrive in the cooler temperatures and I love having them in my garden.

Purple pansy bloom
The pansy is a group of large-flowered hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. Pansies are derived from viola species Viola tricolor hybridized with other viola species. The common words "pansy" and "violet" are often used interchangeably.
