Easter 2017!

 I've just made these little drawer shelves for the farmhouse attic bedroom so I decided to add some Easter decor to them.







Easter in the real house!
Liberty just had to have this cute little bunny bowl!

Easter cupcakes and chick cookies! 

The bunny cake stand is from Kmart...too adorable!
Only had to drive to three Kmart's to find one that wasn't chipped...as usual I'd left it 'til the last minute.

I've managed to amass quite a collection of pastel coloured china in the last few years.
It makes me smile every time I look at it!
All the Johnson Brothers Greydawn dinner set on the table was an online score for just $25!!!!

I finally got to host Easter dinner with my pastel china...that's something I've wanted to do for years! It doesn't take much to make me happy! 

Starting to set the table.

My very clever daughter Liberty drew the sign on our kitchen blackboard wall.

Happy Easter to you all!

Happy Easter!

Welcome to Easter in the Farmhouse Kitchen.
Inspiration for this pic came from Dreamy Whites.



The vintage bunny egg basket was a gift from Kim.



Easter egg colouring fun!

I don't usually make things in polymer clay but Liberty had some. Unfortunately the box it was in used to have glitter in it - it took a bit of time to pick the glitter out of the clay.
Making the eggs was fun...I got carried away and even made a tiny broken egg - because I know if my kids were doing anything with eggs there would be breakages...and more than likely eggs all over the floor too!

Happy Easter to you all!

That was Easter! 2012

I can't believe how fast this year is flying by!
I would have blogged these pics at Easter but it has taken me forever to figure out the new camera software.
 I really hate reading instructions...I did read them in the end and it didn't help!
However, not giving up paid off and I worked out.
So here, finally, is Easter at my house.
I've become addicted to hanging decorations above the dining table.
Hubby was getting a little tired of crashing into the Christmas pompoms...
so I took them down a week before Easter and then put these up.

Sabiha sent me these incredibly gorgeous Easter egg shaped lanterns.

 I put a little egg wreath together for the front door.


All of the eggs on our little tree were made by Sylvia.


 On Good Friday all the Grandparents, most of the Aunties and the cousins came over for afternoon tea.
I finished the 'Bonnes Pâques' sign about half an hour before everyone arrived.
It means 'Happy Easter' in French because I didn't have the right letters to spell it in English!


 I made the button flowers for a party I did recently.
They were the perfect colours for Easter.

The cute little egg shaped bowls came from an Op shop.

 I made these cupcakes for a friend's daughters to give to their classmates.

 Here they are all 'Bunny' bagged.

Liberty on her Easter egg hunt.
She was running so fast around the garden it was very difficult to get any photos.

 She loved the way the Easter Bunny placed all the little chick eggs in this plant.

 Sabiha also sent me this fabulous cardboard cake stand.


 Once again the Easter Bunny left lots of Easter ornaments in the playhouse.
This vintage eggcup was my favourite.


I had five wonderful friends over for a leisurely lunch the week before Easter.

  I made these cute little chick cookies for them to take home.


 
Chick cookies for Liberty to give to her friends.
We had a very busy, fun Easter filled with family and friends!

I hope you all had a happy one too!

Easter 2011

We've had lovely Easter Sunday here.
The torrential rain the forecasters predicted stayed away so the Easter bunny was able to hide his eggs in the garden.








Imagine Liberty's surprise to see the Easter bunny had delivered lots of bunny things in her playhouse!




We have been looking after the bunny rabbit for some friends while they are on holiday.
Liberty will miss him when he goes home!

On Good Friday we baked our Easter cupcakes.

Very yummy!

Our egg tree with all the beautiful eggs Sylvia made for us.

I found this delightful book about the Easter Bunny at an Op shop.

It has the most gorgeous illustrations.

These two wonderful chooks came from Sylvia.
One for the real house and a mini one!

Easter came to the mini garden too!







Thank you all for your lovely comments on Easter at the barn.
I hope your Easter weekend is going as well as ours has!
