Hello sweet friends! Welcome to A Very Vintage Easter Tour a blog hop featuring vintage Easter joys. It has been organized by the delightful Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home.
A Very Vintage Easter Tour
If you have arrived at Storybook Cottage via Panoply you are most welcome. My dear friend Rita is truly a master at creating happy spring tablescapes!
In our formal dining room, the centerpiece is the Easter tree.
Most of these handcrafted treasures were collected while we lived in Germany.
The sweet boy and girl bunny candy containers were treasures I gathered years ago for my children.
Earlier this week I shared a vintage-inspired Best Nest placeholder tutorial.
Over on the sideboard, a vintage Easter basket holds a few of the Resurrection eggs I made six years ago.
During Holy Week we enjoy reading a special bible verse each day. The verses and an accompanying token are tucked inside of the eggs.
Although I shared my spring home tour just last week I did tuck in a few new Easter touches.
They include a DIY spring banner and lamb shadowbox.
The coffee table vignette received the addition of two bunnies I cannot bear to throw away despite their broken ears and legs. #velveteenrabbit
The Kitchen
Spring has sprung in the kitchen as well.
Sweet bunnies I found years ago in Germany have set up residence on the table.
I thought it might be a mistake to sprinkle in the candy eggs. But so far my kids think they are not edible.
Touches of yellow in the springtime make my heart happy.
The kitchen shelf received a bit of vintage Easter bliss as well.
I made the faux sugar eggs way back in 2009.
They have held up fairly well.
In the bay window, two spring ducklings hitch a ride on the antique wagon.
The small sign reads “Frohe Ostern” which means “Happy Easter” in German.
My favorite of the happy German pair is the vest-wearing, twig-carrying gentleman duck.
I can’t put too much in the window as it is a beloved lookout spot for another family favorite.
Gracie the dachshund wishes you and yours a very “Happy Easter”!
Next on the hop is Have A Daily Cup Of Mrs. Olson. Her vintage collection is truly stunning and always brings a smile to my heart.
Here are the links to all the wonderful vintage Easter-filled homes.
Enjoy the tour!

Laura, what delightful spring accents you’ve added. The vintage eggs that were your children’s, the pastel aprons and that adorable Easter duck are my favorites! Have a joyous Easter! Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
Wow, I am oohing and ahhing over each and every photo! Love those vintage candy containers, and your sugar eggs are simply darling! Also love the eggs you made to hold the bible verses! I had plans to make a velvet egg, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I have a collection of funeral baskets. They are still hanging in my shed. Love the eggs in yours! What talent you have sweet Laura!
hugs,
Jann
Laura, Your German treasures are amazing! I also love the sugar eggs you made; they look so vintage. You have beautiful photography! So glad to get introduced to your site! Happy Easter!
I love all of your beautiful vintage eggs and Easter decor, so beautiful.
Fun vintage decor. I love the idea of putting verses in the eggs. Hope you have a very joyful Easter celebrating our risen and ascended Savior!
I love your Easter decor, Laura…especially the centerpieces with your family pieces hung on it…very special! Your home is lovely dressed up for Easter!
I love all your pastel colors ! And your floral centerpiece with the egg ornaments is just too cute!
Love the bunnies!!!
Very sweet decor.

Oh Laura, I had such fun peeking around your lovely home. The Easter tree looks so pretty on your DR table, and your kitchen table has such charm. All your pretty touches and homemade decor shows how much you love your home. Thanks for sharing the sweetness with us. Happy Easter!
Laura, you have a terrific eye for the detail you’ve mixed in your home for Easter. It’s those bunnies on the breakfast table that I’m in love with! Even the Little Debbie cakes on the pedestal elevate the simple to a little more elegance. Those bird nest place card holders are the wonderful! Lastly, I love the meaningful touch with the verses in the eggs on the dining room sideboard. Keeping the real meaning true in the season is essential. Happy Easter, my friend. I am delighted to share a tour with you!
Beautiful vintage Easter decorations, Laura. My sister and I sang an impromptu version of the song, Easter Parade, today as we ate lunch at my kitchen counter. (slightly off key and paraphrased) We were reminiscing about Easter days gone by. The vintage Easter home tour is the perfect backdrop.

Laura, every room is beautiful and everything is so unique and special. I dearly love your formal dining room! It was a treat to see beautiful wood that hadn’t been painted white. The floral draperies made my heart sing, reminding me of my Mom’s draperies. Gracie is a darling dachshund with her little dappled feet. We’ve had four doxies and they are the best dogs. So smart and so much personality. Have a blessed Easter!
Laura, I always enjoy seeing what you have to share. The special Easter treasures made me smile. We have lots of bunnies hopping about here as well. Hope you and your family enjoy a special Easter weekend.
Laura, it’s all so pretty. I used to do an Easter Tree every year, and somewhere along the way… probably a move, I stopped doing that. I loved seeing yours and all the adorable Spring and Easter critters. Your home is so lovely. I loved seeing your kitchen as a backdrop. Love your cannisters with cups tied with ribbons.!
Bonjour chère amie,
Une très belle publication accompagnée de sublimes photos.
Je vous souhaite de joyeuses fêtes pascales.
Gros bisous
Laura
Love your Easter decor, the candied eggs and aprons.

What a sweet home you have for Easter but the kitchen was my favorite. Your sugar eggs are the best . And, those pastel aprons! Happy Easter. mary in Az
Laura there is something enchanting everywhere you look! The house is just magical! I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
I don’t know who is cuter, Gracie or the sugar eggs. The sugar eggs with Spring and Easter themes have been a favorite of mine forever. I remember my grandmother and the Ladies Club making them on Grandma’s dining room table. It is no easy task to make those and I am amazed at what it takes to arrange those little flowers, etc. But they are pure magic. Happy Easter, Laura. I’ll hop on over to see what the rest of the women have been creating.
Laura, I would be squealing with delight walking through your home looking at your charming decorations. So many were made by you which makes them extra special.
Have a very blessed Easter. Love your tour.
Laura, Easter in your home is so beautiful! I love all the items from your time in Germany! How special! I also love your DIY projects from past years! You are so talented! And those boy and girl bunny candy holders are precious!! Happy Easter!
Laura this is a delightful post! I love your sugar eggs and DIY mantel banner. The teal candles are so pretty too. My favorite is the duck and wagon! Of course your dog is adorable! Happy Easter!
Pure enchantment, Laura! Every detail says Easter and Spring. I hope yours is divinely happy — I know it will be VERY pretty!
I love all of the ornaments on your Easter tree! How special you have collected many Easter items from your time in Germany! I love them all!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!! What lovely vintage style Easter decorations you have shared with us here today!! Wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter!!
Hugs,
Deb
