Yes, Still More Bunny Love ~

Easter | Holiday Inspiration

Well up today is Radish Bunny, Mr. McGregor's Bunny and Playful Bunny.

Up first, Red Radish Bunny:

I saw these at the store, and instantly had to have them. Yes, I do enjoy radishes, but the bright colors made me feel Spring! I think this would be so great in big bunches down the center of the table. 

Here is our bunny straight from Mr. McGregor's Garden:

Who can resist carrots and bunnies? I mean really!

And last up, Playful Bunny:

This bunny just makes me want to sit at the kids table! The fun cheerful pastel eggs make me want to go and dye eggs. 

Okay, that is 9, just one more...

Easter | Holiday Inspiration

We are on day 2 of our Easter Inspiration! I am hoping these ideas and/or inspirations will get you in he mood for your Easter table.

Today we have Yellow Bunny, Woodland Bunny and Antique Bunny - are you ready?

First up, Woodland Bunny:

He is another one of my favorites. I love the rich colors and natural beauty of the sticks, nest and moss. And of course all is not complete without a hint of bling (another earring). This is a great way to bring in your own natural landscape right into your decor. You could easily add a touch of glam with a few beaded/jeweled candle holders.

 Second up, Yellow Bunny (I do believe appropriately named):

I think it would be super fun to stick to one color, yellow in this case. Yellow flowers, yellow faux eggs, yellow glittery butterflies, yellow Easter grass - all next to crisp white dishes.

And Antique Bunny:

  I am in love with the vintage postcard which you could easily use in lieu of place cards - The Graphics Fairy has a few great images for download. I think these Victorian-esque eggs are just perfect and the colors are a great match.

Stay turned for more bunnies tomorrow!

Easter | Holiday Inspiration       

In hopes of getting you all in the mood for your Easter entertaining, my Mom and I decided to dress up this little guy in various themes - 10 to be exact! 

 Now, I realize that you might not have this exact bunny in your Easter decor, but I thought this would be a fun way to show a few different styles you could incorporate into your own decor. Oh, and everything I used I had on hand - so you don't have to go buy anything!

So today we will be starting with Vintage Bunny:

He is one of my favorites - I really like the rich color of the ribbon and the pop of the light blue egg. The vintage paper eggs would be great spread down a table with various stacked books, intermingled with several pastel blue eggs, maybe a hint of gold in a few candle holders and some rustic "Easter grass" to soften the edges.

Next up,  Elegant Bunny:

Again with the vintage paper but here with a touch of bling. I really like the combo of the creamy whites and sparkly jewels.

And lastly (at least for today), Romantic Bunny:

 This is definitely a very soft and very romantic look.  I love the look of the "faux" pearls and flowing ribbon and the sparkle of the rhinestones (is is actually an earring!) This would be great with a few tea lights and maybe a few pink jellybeans scattered about.

Be sure to check in tomorrow for more theme inspiration!

                                                

My Caramel Apples ~

Holiday | Entertaining Inspiration

 I wanted to show you how my recent caramel apples turned out. I used a 14oz bag of wrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of milk - really that was all my caramel consisted of - and it worked great!

I started with my apples and a handful of wooden skewers. 

I then unwrapped the caramels.

And then added the milk and put the microwave safe dish in the microwave for a total of 2 1/2 minutes. I made sure to stir the caramels 2-3 times during the cooking time.

At the last minute I decided to I wanted to add a little something, so I dug into the Halloween candy and roughly chopped up some Crunch Bars. 

After I let my melted caramel sit for about 3 minutes, I dipped my apples into the hot caramel and rolled each apple until it was completely coated. I let rolled half in the chopped up chocolate. It was super easy! Really, no problems - and they were a hit! Everyone loved them, especially the ones with the Crunch bars.
