Easter's on it's way!! I've been doing some fun new Easter crafts.

I am very excited to have inherited this buffet from my parents! It has taken the place of a tall book shelf that was becoming a catch all for the kids and always looked like a mess. I plan to paint it soon and give it a whole new look.

Here's a mirror I found at Big Lots. The price tag said $30 which I thought was a great deal for a beveled mirror with nice frame. It had a few nicks and scratches on it so I asked for a discount. I got it for $24!! Hee Hee. I plan to paint it with the same paint I use on the buffet and of course I will hang it a little higher.

Don't you love the little blond girl holding an egg? She reminds me of my Han. I found the picture with the frame and everything for $22 at a cute little shabby store in Halstead. I already had the bird house and lamp. The bunny was half off at HobLob. I used my cake stand to put a nest on top. The blue eggs are plastic Easter eggs I painted.

I found this wire basket for $1.99 at Goodwill. I primed it and spray painted it this cute pink color called "Ballet Slipper." It is a real vintage shade of pink. More moss and eggs I painted in the nest.

I had this old grape vine wreath that I resurrected from my garage sale pile. Some more of that pink spray paint and it's a updated wreath!! I painted all the eggs (which are a bit time consuming) and still haven't managed to put some kind of bow on the top. I'm thinking I'll use burlap or a tan linen for the bow. Hopefully it will get a bow by Sunday!
