Easter Edition

Happy Easter weekend folks! Are you excited for all that is hard-boiled eggs and Peeps? I know I am!

via Scissors and Spatula

Make these cute napkin ring nests from Scissors and Spatula for your Easter dinner. Food tastes better when the napkin rings are pretty. Are you having ham? I hope so.

: via Cilantropist

This quiche from Cilantropist will be perfect for Easter brunch! Isn’t the picture great? The quiche has asparagus, green onions, garlic and Humbolt Fog goat cheese. If goat cheese isn’t your thing, just substitute something yummy!

via Gimme Some Oven

Make some Peeps Pops like these at Gimme Some Oven. How cute would these be wrapped in cellophane, tied with a ribbon and sticking out of an Easter basket? Or sticking up out of a flower bed for the tiny tots to find while on their hunt for Easter eggs!

If you are in need of a last minute Easter basket, go to Coffee @ 3 to get directions for a super cute paper basket using supplies you most likely have on hand!

Happy egg hunting folks!

I wish I could tell you that my house is all done up for Easter and I am ready for the good ol’ Easter bunny to come down my chimney or knocking at my door (how does he get in?) but I’m not. So in the spirit of needing an Easter decoration stat, I put together a little wreath, using mostly stuff I had on hand.

The eggs are real eggs that had given me a headache after spending an hour blowing their guts out. They were brown eggs and the easiest way I could think of to get good color was…wait for it…SPRAY PAINT! Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be. I wasn’t too sure how the paint would stick, so on half of them I sprayed a coat of primer on first. The others I just painted without the primer. The paint stuck just fine, but the ones with the primer came out glossier. Just so you know.

I had the moss sitting on my dryer forever, ~~making a mess~~ waiting to be used. And the wreath form kind of looked like a nest, so it worked.

Then I used my glue gun and stuck everything on. I can’t seem to not burn myself with the glue gun. Blisters on my fingertips make it hard to type.

Anyhow, the wreath was super easy to make. I’m really loving the candy-colored eggs and the bright springy moss.

P.S. Do you like my new side table? It’s on casters! You can get one here.
