Happy Easter!

I know I’ve been lagging on posts the past couple of days, but it’s only because I’ve been busy shopping, sewing, cooking, cleaning & decorating (oh, and nursing my hubby back to health J). Why you ask? Because this year we (ok, I) decided to host a little (just my parents, brothers & J's parents) Easter celebration at our casa…one holiday where J&I can stay home & not run around to multiple gatherings. And it only took approximately one year after decorating the dining room to actually sit down and have a meal in it. J

Alright, back to the decorations (because that's my favorite part!). I really wanted a bright, spring theme for the table, which was fairly difficult given that our dining room has a very Tuscan feel. The main colors were pink & turquoise, because I LOVE these two colors together. And I stole LOTS of ideas from the blogs I read...I'll try to give them credit!

The pom pom hanging from the chandelier, along with the peeps on the drinking glasses both came from Annika's blog "Cakes Likes a Party"...thanks for the tutorials! 

I sewed napkins (that's right, finally finished my second sewing project of the year!), and made menu cards for each setting. The printables all came from Hostess Blog, another one of my faves.

I also made place cards and attached them to the party favors, my cupcake of the week (you will have to wait for the details on this cupcake later!).

Remember last week when I said I was working with burlap? I made these utensil holders, which turned out pretty cute in the end even though I was fairly nervous about them. And Amber, you were right...burlap is messy stuff to work with!!

And I was completely determined on serving an Easter brunch, so we had breakfast at 3pm…weird, I know, but it was d-lish! 

Jayden also enjoyed his first Easter egg hunt...I really tried to think of other items to fill in his eggs besides candy (stickers, balls, etc), but nothing got a response like the jelly beans. Kids and their sugar!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend!
