Easter in the Holiday Cupboard

You all will be thrilled to know that this year I have recovered the lost stash of Easter Goodies. Last year I was bemoaning the fact that I had a bunch of my vintage Easter things that were lost somewhere in the Twilight Zone. You know, that place that various and sundry items go to that is unbeknownst to your conscious mind. Yep, that happens to me every once in awhile, and when it does it triggers all kinds of thoughts about the state of mental health concerning moi.


(not too old cauliflower teapot) 


I prefer to regard it as just a busy person
 with a lot of "stuff" and not enough organizational skills.












(mini wheelbarrow with turnips)

Anyhoo, a couple of my old chalkware bunnies have found their way out of that parallel universe and back into the Holiday Cupboard.



I love old seed catalogs and Garden books
and just received a new purchase that I'll show you soon.











See the green garden box here on the bottom shelf?
Next week I'm going to share an idea I have for making them...


It won't be rocket science, but it will be be fun...
and on the cheap.


I'm joining these parties this week:

  6. Very pretty, Debra! Love all your bunny pieces. I am missing a few Easter things this year. They must have gone the way of the black hole where yours were. : ) I have been over that attic three times already and I'm just about ready to give up. {You know I'll find them after Easter!}.

  11. This is all so pretty! But I love most that little garden book and then the garden box in the same color. Yes, it would be a good idea to share how to make those. I could see myself needing a couple of them to group things together in. As always all your vignettes are sooooo pretty.

  12. Great news that you found these precious vintage Easter bunnies. I still searching for my Herend bunnies that I packed away last year when I rearranged my living room bookshelves. I know I put them someplace safe......just don't know were that place is. '-)
    Your shelves look adorable.

  20. What a treat to find your temporarily misplaced ;) Easter goodies. They look great in your pretty room. I was about to get rid of a smaller version of your cupboard, a dresser with upper doors really, but now I think it might have a new purpose-thanks!

  26. I;m in love with your Better Homes & Gardens Garden Book!!! Just the best coloring in that cover. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for the garden boxes. After seeing the seed stand on the cover of Country Living this month, I have been addicted to all things "seedy".
