A Farmhouse Wares Easter

We think Easter is the perfect time to add a little farmhouse style to your decorating and gift giving ideas. Create a rustic, country style Easter Basket with our Wire Gathering Baskets or kids can put them to use while on their egg hunt. The cupcake is the perfect Easter treat because there are so many decorating options. We like the idea of just adding a simple johnny-jump-up to the top. Use our individual Cupcake Stands to show them off. You can create easy place card settings simply by adding the name of your guest to each cupcake. Finally, we think our Fondue au Chocolat makes a unique gift idea. We all love a basket that's brimming with chocolate, and this sweet treat is a crowd pleaser.

Brighten Your Home for Easter

Easter is just around the corner, so I picked a few items that will add a little farmhouse style to your holiday decor.

Preserved Boxwood Wreaths : This set of three wreaths offers fresh elegance to brighten your country home decor. The cream ribbon adds graceful charm. Use indoors or on a covered porch.
Wire Egg Basket : The perfect way to display all those colored eggs.
Enamel Cake Stands : I do think some bunny cupcakes would look very cute on these cake stands.
Woven Willow Candle Holder and Vase : Packed with daffodils, this vase makes a stunning spring centerpiece.

Have an Eco Easter

First of all, Happy Friday! Second of all, I didn't plan on writing about Easter again today, but here goes:

These ideas come straight from The Big Green Purse. I hope you'll check out their site, because they share lots of good info on green living.

"Green" your own grass. Skip that yucky shredded plastic stuff. Make your own "grass" by shredding paper (or the Sunday comics). Next year, get started three weeks in advance and grow actual grass you can fit in your basket.

Dye eggs the natural way. Warning: this method takes more time than just dropping a commercial dye tablet in a cup full of vinegar and water. But if you like a challenge, give it a try. Use cranberry juice, pomegranate seeds, beets, raspberries, or red onion skins for pink and red. Saffron or tumeric will create yellow. Blueberries tint blue (naturally!). Yellow onion skins will create orange.

More Easter Entertaining and Decorating

Easter is my daughter's favorite holiday. Well, one of her top faves. She also loves Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. (She was born on St.Patty's Day.)

She loves the idea of a magical bunny leaving oodles of fun things crammed into a big basket. (I'm a little embarrassed at how much I indulge her.) Every year I hide her basket and leave bunny footprints as clues. I make the footprints by sprinkling powder on a template of a paw I cut out of cardboard. She’s probably not going to fall for it this year. Even if she suspects there is no Easter Bunny, I have a feeling she wouldn’t let on for fear she’d stop receiving the bounty. (She has her ways of indulging me too.)

After the basket and egg hunt, my family is pretty casual about the day. We spend our time playing with Grandpa’s animals. (The sheep shown in the picture above really needs a haircut.) Then we gather for dinner. Now there’s not a lot of us, and we all know each other, so you may ask why on earth do we need place cards. Well, there’s a very good explanation. You see, some of my chairs are pretty old and rickety, so I have to be careful where I place the adults. I try to give them the most comfortable seats. It’s all very strategic. I love the Farm Animal Place Card Holders (show above). They're very appropriate for our farmhouse gatherings. The Scramble Ice Napkins by Potluck Studios (also shown above) are also a nice, casual touch. The light blue color feels very spring-like for this occassion. They’re so easy to care for that it makes it easy to save some trees and forgo the paper.

Easy Easter Entertaining

I like to entertain. I love to decorate the house for a special event, to try to make things comfortable and festive for my guests. I keep it simple, adding just a touch here and there, particularly if I've got a big crowd on my hands. A good party has to flow, so decoration can't get in the way. I love it when I find functional ways to add some flair. Here's one: A three-tiered cake stand. It adds drama to the table or buffet and makes serving easy and relaxed. Our enamelware cake stands make attractive displays for cheeses, cupcakes and other yummy treats--just about anything you'd like, even cake. The stands can be used individually or as a two- or three-stand set. It's simple, comfortable and beautiful, with a vintage feel that works well with any style. You can purchase this set of three enamel cake stands at Farmhouse Wares. I think you'll enjoy it.
