I think she did a great job, and brought the Easter spirit into our house just in time!
These little vintage style chicks and bunnies have taken up a temporary home on the living room mantel.
This one with the blush in her cheeks and wearing
her Easter bonnet looks ready for the Easter Parade!
This dapper little guy looks like he's in charge of hiding eggs!
While the littlest chick just looks perplexed!
My daughters decorated the curly willow branches with fancy painted and embellished eggs. This is a German Easter tradition that my mother followed during her childhood, and kept up while I was growing up. It's not Easter around here until the egg tree is up!
We've been collecting and decorating hollowed out eggs for years.
Many of these are over 20 years old. Some were decorated by my girls when they were just toddlers. They're pretty fragile, and during the rest of the year they are stored in egg cartons, wrapped in tissue.
The paper mache' eggs were made in Germany. When I was young I would always get several of these eggs in my Easter basket, filled with delicious German chocolates. We have quite a few of them, scattered around the house. I love the whimsical, traditional illustrations on them! They remind me of my childhood, and the German books that were read to me when I was little.
This big bunny is carrying branches of pussy-willow, stopping by to wish you and yours a very Happy Easter! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter!
I'll be on a short blog-break next week, enjoying some time with my family for Spring break! I look forward to visiting with you all when I get back. Wednesday Gratitude will resume the week of April 11. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Until next time,
XO
Heidi

Happy Easter to you and your family!~ I love all your vintage bunny displays...and the one your little one made was something to treasure and sure does make you smile:) I save all that stuff...when my boys get married someday, their wives will either love me for it, or hate me for it lol!
Your Easter decorations are just beautiful. They make me smile, as I'm sure they bring your family great joy during this happy season!
Have a nice Spring Break....rest that back and come back feeling refreshed!
Happy Happy Easter!! Your bunnies are so precious!!
Hi Heidi! Oh I just LOVE your Easter Egg Tree! We started doing that several years ago too, but not with the Heritage story behind it. I think that is simply charming! Had no idea it was German. My husband has Prussian decent..does that count? LOL! So fun to see you do Pink Saturday too! I'll be following your blog, especially another Designer! So fun to pull and inspire each other in the field! If you would like help with the monograms they are what I do specifically in Graphic Design..except mine are all by hand. I could even just get you started with some ideas and you take it from there. I have a TON of references, including books with old vintage references! Drop me a line if interested!
Happy...well, EVERYTHING (PSat and Easter) this weekend!

What a fun post with all the cute bunnies and chicks! I love your Easter tree. I've had one for years, but I like your curly willow better than what I have. I may have to be a "copycat" next year! Happy Easter and have a fun Spring Break, too.
Oh your decorations are adorable..how nice that your daughter helped put everything out. I love the little chicks especially the one with the little straw bonnet...just precious! The Easter egg tree is beautiful..I like the idea of using curly willow!
Have a wonderful Easter...
