Our Easter Tree and Crazy Bunnies
Our family has had an Easter tree for many years. We started the tradition while living in Germany. The Easter tree and its decorations are often the only Easter décor you will find in a German or Austrian home. Here is Our Easter Tree and Crazy Bunnies. Believe it or not, in the 5 years I have been writing this blog I have never shared any pictures of our annual Easter tree. I guess that was because I was too busy creating and sharing crafts. But perhaps my busyness in areas other than ... View the Post

I gave each egg three coats of paint and topped it with a soft glaze. The interiors remained brightly shaded for a fun ... View the Post
Pretty Red Pillows
Pretty Red Pillows perfect for Valentine's Day. Pretty Red Pillows Back in December, I decided I wanted to incorporate a bit of red into the front room décor since so much of our vintage Christmas décor was red. I loved the “Villa Martine” fabric by Ralph Lauren. It had a bit of blue and cream in the print which worked so well with my blue and cream ticking slipcovered chairs. By the yard it was a bit beyond my budget but enter in a king sized sham found on clearance at HomeGoods. I ... View the Post
