dreamflowerFINALLY LJ scrapbook is working for me again! Lots of enormous picspam behind the cut.
This is the top of our bookshelf that is to the left-hand side of our piano:
The huge glittery egg came from Walmart. I decoupaged the image of the cross on it, hot glued the bow on; the stand is a small flower pot saucer, painted white. I hot glued the egg in place.
This is the basket I put together; .88 basket from Walmart, cheap silk flowers from there and Dollar General, plastic Easter eggs, wired in place with floral wire and picks, or hot glued. Very inexpensive, as I already most of the supplies except for the eggs and the basket.
This little Easter tea set is so cute! I bought it at a yard sale for less than $2.00. I've had it a few years, though and had not set it up, as I was afraid the cat would knock the pieces off. This year I had the brilliant idea of hot gluing everything in place. The little wood "stand" are two inexpensive round wood plaques I was no longer using. The bunnies did not come with the tea set. They were a buck apiece at Dollar General. And I bought the candles back during the holidays: they are battery operate.
This is our regular spring/summer front door wreath, but I spruced it up a little this year with a big bow and a few new flowers, since over the years since I made it, it had lost a few.
The new Easter wreath for the screen door. I used mostly the same supplies I used for the baskets, and the wreath form is one I had bought originally to make a different wreath with.
Here's the front of our house:
And another angle:
Here's a close-up of our little redbud tree with plastic eggs hanging on it. It wasn't blooming when I took pics last week. It's only just started to bloom yesterday and today.
Here's an amusing story: a day after I put the eggs on the tree, the DH was on the porch, and he watched a squirrel trying to take one! It finally got one and took off with it. We both laughed so hard thinking about all the "squirrel cussing" when it got home and found out the darn thing was empty, LOL!

We're not putting up any at all this year except for a bowl of hard-boiled eggs dyed in natural colours, as they're all too easy to be carried away by the feline trio. We're keeping to natural decorating only: I have two orange ranunculi in pots on the porch, and in the larger pots on the ground in front of the steps there are mini narcissus in bloom. In the garden, we have a few mini narcissus as well as a small handful of wild hyacinths and small blue stars I don't know the name of. Siljan put them into the soil only last autumn, so they are only a few, but they're wonderful blotches of colour in the yet rather wintery garden. They look a bit like colourful easter eggs!
