Easter Tablescapes

Every year around Easter time I tell myself I should put up some spring decorations and every year I just draw a blank.  Hanging a bunny on my front door really isn't my style and what else is there??

umm how about flowers!!

Today I am going to the farmers market and let my creative juices flow.  My plan is create something just fabulous for my table for Easter, thank goodness for pinterest.  I do love the special touch of adding something seasonal to my flowers.

candy

plastic eggs

fruit

and the best thing I have seen with carrots and asparagus in a long time

and if this still does not help you, take a class at your local florist.

We are all ready to go here.

Have a Blessed, Beautiful Easter!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

It seems weird to me that Easter is on Sunday.  Our house has been random the last 2 weeks, first I was in Florida with the girls, then we were all home for 4 days, then the boys went out of town.  I really feel off schedule and out of whack, the snowstorm that came through over the weekend did not help at all.  We are all finally under the same roof and now I need to think about Easter.

I have no idea what anyone is wearing.  This is a very low key Easter this year so I think I am going to work with what everyone has instead of shopping for new outfits.  It is also going to be chilly on Sunday so I have to keep that in mind.  I think I am going to wear my new target dress...

with my black cardigan...

and my black shoes...

no longer at Kate Spade, but you can get them here.

and my necklace I picked up on Tuesday at H&M..

We are going to my parents for dinner and I am bringing a dessert.  I am thinking this is the perfect Easter dessert.

Lemon Champagne Cake...

I am not going to lie, I read the recipe and it seems like a lot of work, but anything with champagne is worth the effort!!

Playing Catch Up

Happy Monday! Over the weekend I was organizing my photos and cleaning off my desktop. I had such a busy April I am just now getting around to our Easter photos. It was a cold and overcast Easter here in STL, I had to come up with a warmer outfit for myself and the kiddos at the last minute.

The best part of my last minute outfit change......
I found a pair of never been worn, most comfortable, perfect amount of dazzle, Kate Spade shoes that I bought last year, put in the back of my closet, and completely forgot about them!!

Don't you love when that happens!!

Happy Easter!

Hallelujah!!

Have a beautiful Easter my friends!

That was fast!

I really cannot believe that Easter is on Sunday. I have been so preoccupied with the party we threw last weekend, and Libby's first communion in a couple of weeks that I guess I overlooked Easter.

First up, I have got to finish up the Easter baskets. I really try not to fill the baskets with everything chocolate, instead I like to get books and toys.
When I was growing up my mother would spend weeks upon weeks picking out our Easter outfits. We (and I was 1 of 5) would all wear matching colors, the girls would have the hats, gloves and white straw handbags, and my dad and brother would have matching ties and ascots. Who has that kind of time these days?! I am hoping to find smocked dresses for my girls. I am loving this....
or this one!!

For Matthew, this is something that I had in mind.Unfortunately there is no time. I have to find something that is in stock. Keep your fingers crossed they will have this outfit!!

This is a possibility for me to wear. I bought this dress a couple of weeks ago when I saw it on the rack and swear I heard it whisper "buy me", at least I have something to wear. And wouldn't those Louboutins on my wish list be just perfect with this dress!!
Tonight, we will dye our eggs for the bunny to hide. (I must remember to go to the grocery store today)
This year we will be having Easter dinner at my parents house. I am bringing an appetizer and a side dish, pineapple casserole. I know, it does not sound too appetizing, but it is the perfect side dish with ham and it just so Springy.
Looks like I have my work cut out for me today!
