~An Easter To Remember and Simple & Sweet Fridays #212~

Easter

 is a wonderful holiday to have family and friends over!

Celebrate traditions that we all grew up with.

My mother and father loved having the whole family come home.

I have 6 brothers and sisters and the family grew to 

12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

My mother and dad would have loved celebrating with the kids.

I wanted to share with you photos of the cookies

 I made this year and our Easter table setting. 

Our family would love to wish you and

your families 

~A Happy Easter~

I used my mother's tablecloth for our Easter celebration this year!

I decided to have purple and yellow as the main color scheme.

I found this vintage candelabra for our centerpiece.

Love the purple dried hydrangeas!

  Cute little baskets to hold some goodies for Easter

at Michaels Craft Store.

I made sugar cookies then added fondant on top.

Added icing color gel and painted them.

I got the idea from La Table De Nana.

She is so creative!!

A pretty Easter bunny candle from my friend, Jackie!

Wishing you all a very 

Happy Easter!

~ Fairy Picnic Basket and Simple & Sweet Fridays #74~

I saw the cutest idea ever and had to make one!

A Fairy Picnic Basket.

I bought a picnic basket at the thrift store.

 Line the basket with a black liner.

Trim the excess with scissors and then add a ground cover.

I used blue star creeper,

add some old vintage plates and an empty bottle of wine.

I found my fairies at Summers Past Farms in Flinn Springs.

But, you could probably find them online. 

Instead of  using all plates in the holders I added

 some small vases and picked some fresh roses.

Of course, a little fairy under a glass looks cute!

I attached a little fairy holding onto the cork!

The picnic basket is a perfect place for the fairies to play!

I also added some new fairy food to my Etsy.

Of course, the fairies need some fruits and vegetables!

Happy Thursday everyone!
