Hi guys! Happy Monday! How was your weekend?
I’m so happy because my house is officially Easter ready! I try not to go overboard for Easter décor like Christmas and Thanksgiving, but I do like to put out a few springy things for the season. Easter has always been my favorite holiday because it symbolizes new beginnings and I’m all about a fresh start. Not to mention daffodils and warm weather! It's really a winning holiday in my book.
So here is a little home Easter tour! I hope you can get a few ideas.
I got these guys at Marshalls a few years back. I like they way they are sort of country and rustic looking.
This bunny came from Michaels... aka... the place that takes my money and time.
When looking for other stuff, I found the bunny salt and pepper shakers still for sale---> Easter Bunny Salt & Pepper Shaker Set
This candle is also a gift from my mother-in-law. It smells like Peeps!
So basically my mother-in-law rocks. She sent me these too 🙂 They are from Pier One.
Finally, as per reader request, I put together a simple table for Easter. I’m not expecting a crowd, but I do love to keep the table looking nice during the holidays.
I love this tablescape because you can adapt it to your taste and it is so inexpensive!
You need:
Glass bowls or votives
Jelly beans
tea lights
Bunnies Decorative Wire Edge Ribbon
ceramic bunnies (dollar store or Michaels)
Burlap Bunny Ears Napkin Rings
You can use glass containers you already have and fill them with grass. One bag fluffs up to fill the entire container. I also found the sweet bunny ribbon and used it as an accent to compliment the burlap runner I always keep on the table. Instead of using a bunch of color, I decided to focus on just the pink and green on the bunnies tales from the ribbon, so the table would look a little more put together.
On top, I put just a few eggs to give some color contrast.
I then filled a small glass bowl/ votive holder with pastel jelly beans
I put in a tea light so the table will have a little ambiance.
For the napkins, I started by folding them in half.
Then I grabed the top.
I slid the Burlap Bunny Ears Napkin Rings 
I used inexpensive plastic eggs and a gold sharpie to create the name cards for the table. Just put the egg in the hole above the napkin ring.
You could fill each egg with candy or a small gift for each guest.
If you don’t like the look of the plastic eggs, you could try these gorgeous paper ones.
Whimsical Painted Wooden Easter Eggs
A little more expensive, but so pretty!
Even if you want to go the less expensive route, I think the plastic eggs are simple, and so classically Easter! I love the way they look.
Easter is less than two weeks away now. I can't believe it! Hopefully these ideas will help you get ready for the big day.
Thanks for stopping by today! Tomorrow I’m sharing a recipe for a coffee house drink favorite of mine. I'm including the way you can make it at home, with fewer calories AND for very little money. Hope to see you then.
And of course, have a Marvelous Monday! Thanks for the linkup Katie.

Your turn!
Do you decorate for Easter?
Jess @hellotofit says
I haven't been decorating through the seasons (except for a Christmas tree, of course!) - for some weird reason I feel like I "can't" decorate until we own our own place! Loving your table decor, especially the pieces with the fake grass
JulieWunder says
I understand that. I didn't really go nuts until I got a house of my own.
Farrah says
These are all so adorable! <3 I'll have to pitch it to my church friends! (I love the salt + pepper shakers too!)
Carol Ridenour says
Love your Easter decorations! Especially love the burlap bunny napkin rings!!! Happy Easter & we still miss you!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Carol! You are too kind.
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
I LOVE Easter! I love the mix of eggs, bunnies, and burlap on the table. Very simple but perfect for an Easter brunch. All I want to do for Easter this year is make some special cupcakes with a cupcake kit I bought last year but didn't use, but I'm a little skeptical if I'll still be pregnant by then, so we'll see.
JulieWunder says
It will be close! Hope you get to enjoy Easter either way.
Ivanna says
These are super cute ideas. I love the candle ideas. I've been really in to candles lately and will have to try these ideas.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Ivanna!
Gingi says
You know, I've never really decorated for Easter before?? But now, with a little one that is old enough to enjoy Easter, I really want to.. I was just looking at decorations yesterday! How funny! Great post my friend! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com

I'm like a big kid with the holidays 🙂
Jenny says
Juuuuulieeee! You're awesome! I'm going to completely copy that tablescape! It's adorable!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Jenny 🙂 So easy to do!
Blane Sherer says
I love Easter too. This will be my grandson's 1st Easter so we are all excited about that.
JulieWunder says
That is great news! Happy birthday to him!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
So cute! I am so not creative in that dept. Something to work on for sure
JulieWunder says
I'll come and do your too 🙂
Meg @MegBollenback.com says
Super cute -- I love the napkin display with the plastic egg name card. Random question (and I'm kinda embarrassed I don't know the answer), but what do Peeps smell like? Marshmallow?
JulieWunder says
Haha! Don't be embarrassed! It smells like .... maybe strawberry marshmallow???? Kind of like it is warmed up in the kitchen. They were stretching for that scent-- but it sure is cute! Thanks for stopping by today!
Annmarie says
I am pretty challenged when it comes to decorating for holidays other than Christmas and Halloween but I suppose since I have kids, I should get into the spirit of Easter a little bit! Love all your decor and ideas, definitely going to try out that jellybean centerpiece!!!
JulieWunder says
So easy!!! Let me warn you though... I've already caught my hubby sneaking the jelly beans. You might want to buy extra! haha!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
So cute! I wish I was creative but I have absolutely no Easter decorations! It's probably time I get some especially because of the kids 🙂
JulieWunder says
I'm sure they would love it 🙂 You should pick up a few things on sale after Easter this year.
Mary Beth Jackson says
We are empty nesters so I don't decorate as much as I use to but I do make sure I have a pretty tablescape- yours looks beautiful! You prove that you can mix a few inexpensive items and some of your favorites and create something super cute!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Mary Beth! I have the tendency to go overboard, so I was trying to reign myself in 🙂
jill conyers says
Yes, I love Yankee Candles but no I don't decorate for easter. Very cute ideas.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Jill! I am just a big kid when it comes to holidays.
Libby Haire says
Very cute, Julie. I love the way you mix bargains from the dollar store with everyday things, like you're table runner. I love Easter because of the reason Christ came at Christmas and the new life He offers everyone who asks Him into their heart. Bless you, and your "hubs" as you observe this fresh new season this year.
JulieWunder says
I totally agree. I have thing about striving to be an Easter person... they type of person who believes he was raised from the dead! The type of person who believes in miracles 🙂
