Easter Basket Door Decor

Easter's on the way, along with Spring and gorgeous weather. So are ya ready? Have you been putting all your eggs in one basket? I have..yep... along with candy, chocolate bunnys, jelly beans and suckers. Let me show ya..
It started with mesh in white and lime green, and a light turquoise mesh ribbon as my base. Then I added my suckers, peeps, chocolate bunnies, rolled candy, eggs and jelly beans,and to catch all the candy, I put two baskets at the end. My Easter wreath which is also made with mesh has a bunny and some egss also.

St. Paddy's Table Decor

Well my Lads & Lasses, tomorrow is the wearing of the green, are you ready? Do you have your outfits picked out? You don't want to be pinched ..do ya? Giggles... I didn't think so. I have my menu all planned out for tomorrows fun at our house. But I wanted to take a moment to share my table top decor with you. The front door entry table has a runner of clovers and sitting on each side is two pictures, one of a pretty lass with an irish blessing & the other frame with its silver and green shamrock says: May you have love the never ends, lots of money and lots of friends! In the center I have three white pitchers filled with pretty flowers, shamrocks and a cute little leprechaun hat pick. In front of the pitchers is my St. Pat's glittered sign.
The table for two starts out with a white tablecloth and black placemats.Then comes my yellow glittered chargers, my white plates with shamrocks, then my kelly green salad plates with white shamrocks,a kelly green glittered bowl on top. Green stemware and flatware, and a pretty yellow napkin, finish up the tableware. My centerpiece is a black pot (that usually holds leprechaun gold) filled with clover, one yellow prim rose & gerber daisy, green hydrangeas, and hiding among the flowers is a cute little leprechaun waiting to cause some mischeif.
and now the table:

I will close this post with an Irish Saying:
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

Until Next time...Enjoy!
