Between Naps on the Porch: Spring and Easter Inspiration for Your Decor

Spring and Easter Inspiration for Your Decor

While we continue enjoying all the wonderful tablescapes linked for yesterday's Tablescape Thursday, I wanted to share a little spring and Easter decorating my friend, Cornelia has been doing.

Cornelia lives in Switzerland and loves to collect exquisite pieces to decorate with for the seasons and holidays. I love how she used branches to display her collection of beautiful ornaments and Easter decor. Let's take a closer look...

Cornelia told me these cute bunnies are made of papiermaché and are from Germany.

Aren't they adorable?

I love this little guy with his basket of colored eggs. :)

Doesn't this just put you in the mood for a little Easter decorating?!

The glass ornaments are all hand-blown and are from Germany, as well.

Cornelia, thanks so much for sharing your lovely Easter and Spring decor. You can view a beautiful, tablescape Cornelia put together last spring, HERE. I'm off to do a little spring decorating myself. :)

Je vais très souvent en Suisse, j'y allais régulièrement lorsque mon fils vivait là-bas...
Pour Pâques effectivement j'avais pu remarquer des décorations accrochées aux arbres... C'était sublime.
Belle publication.
Gros bisous

Forgive me if I'm late in noticing, but when did you rob the bank? ;) I noticed on your sidebar, under the 'Things To Do' heading that you've stroked that jot off to pay for the hardware flooring.

Love your new banner! Happy Spring!

Does your friend, Cornelia have a blog?
