Easter Mantel

After taking down my Valentine's Day mantel, I was left with a big question.

Now what do I do?

It was only February....too early for Spring (around here anyway),
and too early for Easter.  

It took some time, but I finally figured it out.  

I'll throw all caution to the wind & decorate for Easter anyway!

Welcome to my Easter Mantel.

I pretty much had everything that you see here already...

with the exception of that bunny on the left.

Don't you love it when you can decorate with what you have?

Let's get closer, shall we?

Here is that cutie now!

I just had to have him when I saw him at Pier 1.

Pitcher from TJ Maxx, a few year ago.

I bought the flowers last year, after Spring, on clearance.

The big Easter Greetings plaque was purchased 

last year at The Christmas Tree shop.  

It reminds me of a vintage post card for some reason.

This smaller bunny is also from Pier 1, a few years ago.

The pink pedestal compotes came from Joanns,

quite a few years ago.

I've had this chick in the egg for a couple years now.

It's by artist, Vicki Smyers.

I paired it with my favorite shabby chic candle holders.

I can't seem to remember where I bought these

vintage looking postcards.

I thought they'd make a cute banner,  strung up on a ribbon.

 

Are you busy decorating for Easter?

 

Thanks for stopping by!
