Anyone feel the same way?

4.2.13- 

  

I'll be honest, I'm not loving the fact that it's 2nd day of April & Easter has already come & gone.  I DON'T like it when it falls in the month of March.  March is for St. Patricks day & all things green.  April is for freshness, spring, bunnies & egg hunts.  Now there is the entire month of April left & I'm not quite sure what to do with the rest of it.  

So... I think I'm going to leave up my bunnies & things because it looks so cheerful.  Here are just a few pics of some of my decor around the house. 

{you know I like to change it up every month!} 

On center stage in the center of our great room.  I love a fabulous centerpiece.  You might recognize a few of these found objects from past posts.  

-The pedestal for my "faux" chocolate bunny to stand on is from my trip out to Smith & Edwards with my friend last month. Place a glass dome on it & wa-Lah! 

-The tiny ceramic lamb came from an antique store along the Oregon coast last summer.  

-The dainty birds nest on a little stand was from The Hive, Springtime Edition. 

Love this color nook in my kitchen.  

Hector, the Owl Cookie jar 

{filled to the brim with brightly decorated sugar cookies} keeping an eye on what's left of the Lemon Blueberry Shortbread candies & the rest of the robin eggs in the blue bowl.  Should have gotten a pic with it was all filled to the brim! 

{Sugar overload in our house!} 

In our mudroom I just hang up some old wooden frames, attached a few birds & butterflies to them & dangled this fun geometric garland with them.  {You might recognize that from my Studio 5 segment last month. You can watch it HeRE} 

Love the simplicity of this space. You don't have to go overboard to have a fun decorative touch.

Ok... this is quickly becoming my new favorite thing to decorate.  I used to have this wire rack down in my daughters bedroom but brought it up to use for The Hive- way back in the Fall & have totally enjoyed filling it up with this & that's each month. So sweet to see what can be stuffed into each little compartment. 

-A sweet chocolate bunny inside a vintage tin Biscotti box.  Got these boxes at the 365 Swap. Love the colors on the old tins- 

-More "faux" bunnies on display on a crystal cake stand.  Love these little guys & better yet I have no desire to eat them! ;)- 

-Another little guy tucked into some robin eggs- 

Here is the full shot of the wire rack.  Love the wheat grass on top & the big "faux' chocolate bunny that started my collection keeping watch over everything.  The turquoise egg cartons were so fun this year.  I bought them last year {can't remember where} & held onto them.  I gave the girls & my hubby their little Easter treats in them this year.  I stuffed each little holder with chocolate eggs, sour patch bunnies, gumball eggs & these fun things........

Blown out eggs filled with confetti.  I think this is an Easter tradition from somewhere around the world.  I'm thinking it's a Latino tradition {since the carton of confetti eggs I bought was in Spanish} but not completely sure. So if anyone out there knows please tell me.  

 Anyway the girls had a blast cracking the confetti eggs over their heads.  So fun!  I think it will become a tradition in our family for years to come.  

{P.S. I actually found them on clearance last year after Easter so keep your eyes open.  They came in an egg carton!} 

All these colors together make me happy!  So excited that Spring is here. April showers bring May flowers, right? 

We definitely have had some rain showers here lately. 

{I say... Bring on the flowers!}
