I have been sifting through my old Easter postcards and thinking about different ways to display them. I love to surround myself with Easter Decor.
Easter Decor
For a simply sweet display make one card your focal point and add a piece of scrumptious ribbon to curl around it, and accent it with small flowers and a few eggs.
I like to make copies of my originals onto cardstock, add a bit of glitter, and hang them from a pretty ribbon on an Easter tree, door handle or the back of a dining chair.
I love this idea of a wreath made from Jordan almonds hot glued onto a straw wreath base. The daffodil yellow is truly glorious. I think propping up a postcard next to the vase would be just the right finishing touch.
Seemingly random things can be brought together under a cloche. An old photo of a sweet girl in her Easter finest, a silver egg cup, a small bunch of flowers and an image cut from a postcard nestled into another sweet silver dish all work beautifully together.
TIP: If you don’t have a pedestal, recreate one with a plate and an overturned bowl.
I thought I might like a cloche over the new arrangement. It is easy enough to turn any old glass vase into a cloche by the addition of a votive cup and either a lamp finial or drawer pull.
Add some epoxy and voila a very inexpensive but cute cloche!
In the end, my new pedestal found a place to rest without a cloche on a small side table. The rabbit is nestled in some natural Easter grass.
Thanks for the great ideas! I love the whimsy of each one. 🙂

I love using cloches! I think I might use them for a wedding shower centerpiece 🙂 Thanks for always giving me so many creative ideas.
You just rocked my world.I almost skipped your new post this morning. I KNEW there’d be delights, and during kitchen renovations I’d be crazy to add decorations to the clutter.This year I’m sitting on my hands (and apparently mentioning it a lot, b/c I’ve typed these words again and again.)But I DIDN’T skip, and I’m thrilled.I adore all Things Under Glass. Obviously, so does everyone else, because not only are there skillions of lovely creations but there are no glass bells to be thrifted.Your idea is SPECTACULAR.Thank you for sharing!
Oh I just love looking at all the different ways people decorate their doors. I don’t blog on Tues. and Thurs. due to my school schedule, but I will make sure to check out everyone else’s beautiful blogs.
