Easter Decorations

Last Friday, between breakfast with friends and the evening Sounders game, which we won, I cleaned house and got out the rest of the Easter decorations.


This first photo isn't really Easter.  It's violets picked from my garden.  They remind me of my mother.  Her name was Violet.  Since her passing last November, we are still in that year of firsts without her, hence the first Easter without Mother Violet.


 On the kitchen table, daffodils and eggs in some of my McCoy pottery collection.

 In the family room.  The baskets on the hearth are from my childhood.


 Bunnies and eggs are scattered here and there in my pottery collection.





Jill and I have been making plans for Easter dinner, which we will host together at my house.  It will be just ten of us.


It has been a long time since we had an Easter egg hunt here in our yard.  We'll all get into the act, big and little kids together.  Hope for dry weather!

  2. You look ready for Easter, how fun to have the family together. My twin grand daughters are coming down for spring break and a few days before their family comes-so we'll have lots of excitement here too.

  5. I like seeing all the eggs peeking out from their hiding places. You have such a beautiful home, Linda, filled with all kinds of wonderful treasures.

  6. Linda, it's so eerie how much we have in common if you don't count your incredible sewing talent, your artistic cooking skills and your gardening ability and all the rest. Sigh...

    My mother's name is Violet too. You see? We're soul sisters.

  7. I had an aunt named Violet. David and I don't celebrate Easter.

  9. Kay in Hawaii - I know! The parallels are startling, and wonderful!
    Gigi, it doesn't matter what you celebrate, as long as you CELEBRATE! I actually celebrate Spring more that the religious aspect of Easter. But then here in the PNW, spring is a happening!
