Spring Things … Easter Edition

March 25, 2021 By Juliet 23 Comments

Welcome to Spring Things … Easter Edition!

Yellow Tulips on Pastel Plaid Mat

Can you believe it … Easter is next weekend!

The year is flying by … and that’s just fine by me.

This post includes affiliate links for your convenience at no additional cost to you. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

 

Easter Table Setting with Easter eggs and candle sticks

I plan to set a pretty table for Easter brunch.

It will be just Jim and I again this year.

 

Crystal Candlesticiks and floral table cloth

I’m no millennial but I’m fully on-board with the grandmillennial style trend.

What a stroke of good luck that my style and this current trend line up.

For once.

 

Yellow Tulips on Pastel Plaid Mat

What’s your favorite spring flower?

Tulips are mine.

If you follow my Instagram stories you may have caught my sad tale about forgetting to plant the bulbs I ordered.

I hate when that happens.

 

Easter egg planter

In the meantime I bought tulips at the grocery store and repotted them in

this adorable planter.

The planter coordinates perfectly with this plaid, pastel rug.

If this doesn’t say spring, what does?

 

Plaid pastel mat and yellow tulips

In early February I replanted our porch basket and pots.

Our porch gets just a tiny bit of sun in the morning.

Finding plants that are happy here has been a process of trial and error.

Looks like I finally got it right and everything is thriving.

 

Topiary and begonias

I believe the terracotta pots are filled with begonias … I misplaced the tags and can’t be sure.

Gardeners … let me know!

 

Front Porch Topiary and potted plants

Remember Bun Bun from Spring Things part one?

 

Garden bunny

She now has a companion on the front porch.

Bun Bun number two came from this Etsy shop.

I was a late adopter to Etsy … better late than never.

 

Bunny lumbar pillow on teak bench

I think she’s happy here.

Isn’t she sweet?

In addition to setting a pretty table for Easter Brunch,

I’m going to get properly dressed.

I know, what’s gotten into me?

 

Green Easter Dress and Sweater

What a happy coincidence that my Easter dress coordinates

with our table cloth and plaid, pastel mat.

It’s meant to be.

What are your Easter plans?

If you celebrate, I’d love to hear all about it … leave a comment below and let me know!

Here are a few other things I picked up for Easter … including a green pastel egg cooker.

 

Jim loves hardboiled and soft boiled eggs. I do not.

He’s raving about his new gadget and made avocado toast, topped with an egg,

every morning this week.

(I’m not a fan of avocados either … but shhhhhh …

I don’t want to be exiled from my home state.)

Window Box Planter

As always, I appreciate your visit and welcome your thoughts in the comments below.

I’ll be back next week with a look at our back patio decorated for spring

and a few easy Easter recipes.

With any luck we’ll be able to enjoy Easter Brunch al fresco!

Until then, cheers from Snowberry!

    Hi Juliet,
    I’m with you, I can’t believe Easter is next week! I’ve still got to pull out the decorations, we always have an egg tree which is a tradition from when I was a girl and my mom’s family. Easter was always a very big deal growing up, mom would sew us beautiful new dresses and if I was lucky I would get an Easter hat and new gloves, Boy things have changed! I sewed dresses for my girls every year, too. But now I will settle for just having them near, and we will eat a nice meal together. Hope we can enjoy it on the deck.
    Those look like primulas in your pots. Too bad about the tulip bulbs. I found a bag of bulbs in my fridge that we’re given to me and I had forgotten about, I think they are ranunculus. I wonder if i could force them to bloom indoors now? Anyway…
    Hope you have a great week and a wonderful Easter!
    XO Heidi

    Everything looks so pretty and it is hard to believe Easter is next weekend! I’m ready for Spring and I’m enjoying the bit of freedom we have now with Covid restrictions loosening up!
    I ordered more of the rattan Easter eggs from Target because our Covid kitty Rusty has taken to getting them out of my bowl and batting them around the house!! I’m hoping to get some more Eater decor out this weekend!

      Oh no, Rusty loves the eggs!!! I guess they are pretty enticing to a cat. Thank god the dogs can’t get on the table! Hard to believe this weekend is Easter … it was the first event to get cancelled last year. It’s been a year!!! xo

    Snowberry looks lovely in all it’s Spring splendor! So funny—I have the pastel plaid rug on my porch! Bought it Sunday. Can’t wait for my much-anticipated and a-few-times-postponed visit to Snowberry soon. But what to wear…What does one wear to such a lovely home?

Sweaters, jeans, and loafers are right in my wheel Sweaters, jeans, and loafers are right in my wheelhouse, and I adore my new cropped, cable knit sweater from Target. Paired with a wide leg trouser jean (I’m also a big fan 👖) and suede loafer mules. It’s the perfect outfit to navigate the transition from winter to spring. Which, let’s face it, has been a little bumpy. Oh, and a pop of spring color 💚 in this cute woven, bean green bag.
 
Speaking of that, after major downpours all weekend, the sun is peaking through today and it’s a little warmer, and slightly humid. Enjoying it while I can because more rain is expected to night through tomorrow. Oof.
 
Happy Monday! I’ll link my outfit in stories.
