Easter time at the Casita

I've always had a deep, deep love for Easter.

Probably because it leads up to my most favorite holiday of the year:

MOTHER'S DAY

(but that's a whole other post)

Anyway....

here are some pictures that I've taken in the past couple of weeks

leading up to the big day

Gorgeous white dogwood tree

at the pocket park near my house.

This is Reginald.

I found him at a little shop near Pastries A Go-Go.

I wasn't going to buy any Easter decorations this year, but

I couldn't resist that ruffle at his neck.

I mean really.....

AND

he's sparkly!!

What's not to love?!?!?

Then.....

I made a quick trip to Kudzu with Kelly and Austin and found

these awesome cardboard eggs:

(I already had the little bird salt and pepper shakers.)

They were priced at only $3 dollars each

which I thought was a lot of bang for the buck.

'cuz they're pretty big

See?

and....

Kelly and Austin surprised me with this little canvas

from Z Gallerie:

Don't 'cha love it?

I do!!!

It looks SO perfect in my little downstairs living room.

Thanks again, Kel!!!

Have y'all done any Spring/Easter decorating?

p.s. Sorry for the poor picture quality of Reginald's photos. I took those at night and just couldn't get the lighting right. He's much more handsome than he appears. The photos don't do him justice. :(
