Easter Sunday.

As I locate more decorations they went up.
This isn't even the half of it.

A small bud vase holding spring blooms.

Mantel. Vintage Easter toys.

My mom made this duck for my eldest sisters first Easter. We didn't have a lot of money so she had to finish the left foot in the beaks yarn.

Its getting out of control.

The front hall had candies available.

We had a wonderful Easter!

Easter Decorations.

Vintage Easter cards. Most from Germany.

Egg shaped prisms.

Easter tins with Garish McCoy hyacinth vase.

Baby Food dish featuring Uncle Wiggly.

Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere..

Little tin eggs. I still have 2 of the four my aunt gave to me years ago.
I had to replace the rest.

I adore Easter!
Its another reason to have an over the top display.

Spring Cleaning.

Its nice that there are moments when my room can seem shaker like in its simplicity.

However these moments are short lived.

Pet Peeves..


I thought distraction the better part of valor. I loathe uneven plaster walls! Washing them with layers of paint doesn't transport me to a Tuscan villa.
I rely on layers. Layers of opulence.

Either pattern on pattern with a neutral background.

Or gilt. The more the better.

Even posters need gold.

Stately pier.

The only mirror in my room that is new.

The layering is severe.
