A Tisket A Tasket....

A Blue & Yellow 

Basket??

Soooo......we had some garden tools...

and we painted them...

then

MAGIC

started to happen!

We were trying to figure out just what to do with these 

to show everyone 

WHY

they needed them!

First we put a votive cup in them...

and of course a candle ~ how cute would that be sitting on your table...

a bunch of painted bulb planters

lighting up the dinner conversation!

THEN....we took one of our pretty floral pics 

and sat it in the bulb planter

SUPER CUTE vase ~ truly loved this idea!

But the idea that won out for our display

was sticking some moss inside the cup 

and putting some sweet eggs inside!

Both of of our bulb planter sold during Open House this weekend...

I think we'll be on the look out for more...

how about you?

Keep Creating!!

How Does Your Grass Grow??

Green...

yes, we know that!

But how about in your 

Easter Basket?!!

About 9 days ago we planted

some wheat grass in baskets with customers

With a bit-o-water and some

sunshine just look at how it grew!

 You can tuck some eggs in it for your

Easter Table...

or just grow it in the kiddo's baskets

for their Easter Egg Hunt!

It sure is prettier than the fake grass!

What are you doing special for your

 Easter decorations this year?!!

The Grass is Greener......

...in the basket!

This is cute for Easter....

but would be equally cute for May Day

or a fun Mother's Day favor!

Take some peat pots

& paper punch some holes in them

to put your ribbon through for a handle

We chose to put a fun cupcake liner
in the pot for more color

Add some soil to the peat pot...

Then some wheatgrass....you know how we love that!

Add water & watch it grow...

it's better than a chia pet!

Add chicks, eggs, flowers....

imagine the possibilities!!

Time to Plant Your Baskets!!

We opened our email this morning to this picture from Terrain.

Isn't it the most gorgeous Easter Basket?!!

*sigh*

It reminded us that we needed to plant the grass

in the kiddo's Easter baskets....

Basket

check!

Soil

check!

Wheatgrass....

Wheatgrass all over the floor

check!

{I might add that kids are not helping with this project at the moment!!}

Into the baskets

check!

We added a bow on this basket.....

but you can do what you like!

Just water & watch your Easter grass

grow!

oh.....and back to this....

Now that we're done with the kiddo's baskets ~ we're so going to make this!

We're going to plant the grass

 then add some spring bulbs that haven't bloomed yet....

{digging them up from outside!}

then....in two weeks,

 when the grass has grown,

 we'll add the nest, eggs & birds

You've got to love Spring!
