"Fairytale" Inspiration for Easter continued...


Last weekend I shared with you a beautiful new book
by the people that bring us Jeanne d'arc Living magazine,
 entitled "Fairytale Easter". 







I fell in love with all the wonderful 
Easter and Spring inspired creations that grace each page.





Little did I know when I visited Leola's Vintage Home and Garden Spring Open House last week, that someone else had been inspired to create these same lovely decoupaged eggs. My friend Pam, who always has some of the most amazing creations and displays around, had crafted her own version of these Easter lovelies.







So a few came home with me 
for my own Easter display in an old cardboard suitcase.



They joined other bits and pieces of vintage ephemera,
 baskets with moss, and a nest or two for a little vintage Easter vignette.










Aren't these embellished vintage Easter postcards 
just precious with bits of twine, tulle, and feathers?





 One of my collection of old church fans in the background.
Jesus with the lambs are my favorites.








A hyacinth bulb and old book wrapped in stamped cotton ribbon.





It's times like this that I remember that my true love is 
"all things vintage".





Joining in on these great parties this week:

Tweak it Tuesday at Cozy Little House
Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style

Hope you have a wonderful week,

  13. Charming in eight different ways. Love the funeral basket filled with eggs. This reminds me I have squirreled away a primitive framed image of Jesus for Easter and I need to dig it out. He Is Risen, Olive

  18. What a beautiful vignette. It's full of different things, but each of them is simple and compliment the other. Well done!

  19. I love those eggs, Debra! Especially the big one. I've pinned those, although I probably won't have time to make any before Easter arrives. That looks like a lovely book with lots of ideas.

  20. You know, I have an old picture of Jesus that I like but have never liked the frame. I've seen it in that frame my whole life as it used to be on the wall when I was growing up. Funny thing is that the picture placed in that frame is so embedded into my brain that it had not occurred to me to TAKE IT OUT of that frame! Your photographs and ideas have turned a light bulb on for me. Ha! Thanks! Love the eggs!!!
