YES, WE ARE HOUSEBOUND, BUT THAT JUST MEANS WE HAVE TO GET MORE CREATIVE THIS EASTER!
A cute collection of bunnies and flowers is a simple set up that can easily get you into the Easter spirit. Or perhaps you have been crafting at home with the kids and have created some easter inspired artwork? However you plan to celebrate Easter, it’s time to start decorating. Christmas has wreaths; birthdays always have balloons - so why can’t easter have its little setup?
If you are entertaining in the outdoors, think about decorating the area. I went a little nuts with the cookies and eggs, but how divine does it look? If you have a small seated area you will be lounging in this Easter, do it up! Take your table theme to the outdoors and have some fun with it, using a fresh palette of blue and white, I have collected some cushions to match and simplified my decor to match. It’s the small things you can do to your home that can make your easter at home a little more festive…also takes the focus off eating all that chocolate!!
FIVE EASTER DECOR IDEAS
Create a fun Easter egg hunt for the kids (and the adults!) it always brings joy and laughter to an afternoon at home, with the whole house and gardens your playground.
So let’s mix it up a little and get creative with our gifting this year. Not everything has to be laden with sweet treats; you can just provide the carrier for the said sweets, and remain guilt-free! With a few spare days up our sleeve, we all have time to get a little crafty don’t you think.
Need something similar to give your Easter treats in? What about this crafty little idea.. so easy, so fast and so very cute.
A sideboard is an ideal setting for a little Easter vignette. Style it up with some simple branches, using a selection of tins from the trusty old two dollar shop and a collection of sweet wooden hanging eggs.
The traditional Easter Sunday lunch doesn't have to be a stuffy affair. Keep it simple and traditional, focusing on family, health and plans for the future.
Although we may be in a crisis, the world continues to turn. Our everyday lives have been impacted in ways we could never have imagined, but what we can do as a family and as a community is stay informed, stay positive and stay kind. We are all in this together and one day it will be over - can you imagine that day? I can, and that’s what I am looking forward to.
