The cutest Easter eggs in blogland

Posted by om 0 comments


It comes as no surprise that Jenny Holiday is all about Holidays! I am cuckoo for them! Easter may be my very very favorite. It was always such a tie with Christmas, but the bunnies take it over the edge for me...so yes, let's carve it in stone today: Jenny Holiday's favorite Holiday of all Holidays is Easter! The pastels, bunnies, eggs, foil wrapped candies, flowers, paper grass, baby chicks, chocolates, ahhh it's all dizzying to me! And the happy traditions of baskets filled with sweets and plush bunnies
and silly toys, egg hunts, pictures with "The Easter Bunny", picking out frilly dresses and shiny shoes, crazily decorated Easter bonnets, and of course dying eggs! Soooo much fun!! And this all happens just as the weather invites us all outdoors! What's not to Love?!

I just had to share some of my favorite decorated eggs from Blogland! Aren't they just beyond happy and cheerful? Gosh...the gold makes me swoon! I am a sucker for pastels and gold! But you already know that! ;)


Beaded and sequin eggs are one of my all time favorite collectibles! I've been lucky enough on a few occasions to find them in the original pkgs...as kits! They were super popular at 5 & Dime stores in the late 50s early 60s. I went through a biiiig beaded everything phase a few years ago! And boy did my thumb pay for it! Fruit, stars, hearts, eggs, you name it!

These darling decoupaged prize eggs stole my heart a few years ago. Made by my super sweet and talented friend Amy Powers...yes, the gal I mentioned a few posts back. They are just perfect! Super easy and totally instant heirlooms.

Have you... or will you be dying eggs this year? Anything fun planned? I'd love to see!

Happy Weekend kids!

Outdoor Living Spaces

We have all the family down for Easter so it is going to be full on! The in-laws, cousins, aunts and uncles will all be there in force. They are renting a beach house so there will be plenty of time to catch up for outdoor barbeques, drinks on the deck and alfresco lunches. There's something about outdoor entertaining that makes everyone feel like they are on holiday! I am loving these inspirational outdoor spaces!

Easter Fun!

The Easter Egg Hunt has been a long standing tradition in my household. As the kids have got older, the clues have got more cryptic and the hiding spots more difficult. The kids love it and take it all very seriously as the Easter baskets wrapped in cellophane with big bows and piled high with eggs and bunnies are well worth the effort! Easter Sunday is full of laughter as the cousins battle it out with egg and spoon races, usually the adults can't resist the frivolity and all join in trying to outdo each other in the wheelbarrow and sack races!
