What free time I had yesterday was spent putting out a few of my Easter smalls. I usually go all out for holidays but it seems like this year I have not had the time or the inclination. I did want to at least spend a little time with some of my favorites so this was the result. These little fellows I picked up at an estate sale for mere pennies. They are practically perfect and ever so charming.
This little shelf is devoted to some little toys I have had since I was a child ( a long, long time ago) and yes that picture is of me when I was about four with my Easter basket. I always get a kick out of that picture because it reminds me of the living room set my Mom had at the time. It was all blonde wood with a green couch I would die to have now. She had this great big flamingo picture on the wall that was great and scary all at the same time.
This is my collection of little glass cannisters. They really have nothing to do with Easter but they seem very Springy to me and they are just so darn cheerful. I always bring them out and fill them with Easter candy for the nephews. I better make it a priority to get these filled or I will be in big trouble. The little foil wrapped chicks are "old" candy I have had for a few years. It is no longer edible but it really looks cute peeking out of the jar.
This bunch of trouble makers is a mix of old and new. The two small chicks are wearing their Easter bonnets and are ready to step out for a Sunday stroll. The other little orange guy is another find from an estate sale and the little plastic guys are presents I have received over the years. The chick with the worm in his mouth is a wind-up that hops and the cut off shot of the little plastic chicks includes a Mother hen leading her chicks all in a row. Maybe this little mini display will get me in the mood to bring out some more of my Easter collection, but I better hurry before it is too late.
