Unique Easter Basket Ideas

When the girls were little they just loved Easter, coloring eggs, making cookies, and then of course waiting for the Easter bunny to come and hide the eggs.

There was one year that they decided that they wanted me to wait till after Easter to get their basket. Their thinking – they could get a bigger basket for less money.

I didn’t think this was a very good idea, and guess what, I was right!! They cried and cried Easter morning because the Easter bunny didn’t bring their basket!

When John came along he wasn’t much into the baskets as the girls were, so I had to start thinking outside the box.

Below are some adorable thinking outside of the box Easter basket ideas, and yes some of these baskets can be found in the store!

 

 

This dump truck so so cute as an Easter basket, and what little boy or girl wouldn’t want one?

 

 

 

 

 

Now with this one, all you have to do is add a little candy, a book or 2 about Easter or some little cars & trucks, and you have one happy kid!

 

 

There are so many ideas and vintage items to create your own diy Easter basket this year. Right now I am looking round the store some more looking for more ideas! I love thinking outside the box!!

Please share your diy vintage Easter baskets with us. We love sharing inspiration!

Have an awesome day!

Valentine Day Decoration Ideas

I have never been one to decorate my home for holidays other than Thanksgiving and Christmas. Are you one of those that decorate for all of the holidays? Do you decorate a tree for Valentine’s Day?

 

 

 

My girls and I always had fun looking for the perfect valentine cards for them to take to school.

We have a small selection of vintage valentine cards in the store. They are so cute and I just love the sayings and graphics.

 

 

 

 

 

These hearts are so cute and they kids could love creating these. I think they would also be adorable on your valentine tree!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you decorate a tree for valentines day or have special valentines decor, we would love to see it!

Have an awesome day.

Fall Decorating

I am a pretty simple girl at heart, and I like to decorate simply also. That is not to say I don’t have collections, but I like to simply add fall colors and decor in and around my every day decor!

Do you go all out? or are you a simple decorator also? Please share your fall decorating pics with us!

 

 

I think this vase is so pretty, yet is elegant enough for a dinner party table, or entry table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love decorating with my vintage everyday decor. Look at this beautiful scale all dolled up for fall.

I think this would be super cute with a little more color and great for entry way or it would be awesome on the mantle!

 

 

Have an awesome week. Don’t forget to share your pics with us!
