An Easter A Bunny Would Love

Carrots for Easter

We had a great Easter weekend that the Easter bunny certainly would have approved of. We were inspired in dress and decor by a bunny’s favorite treat: carrots! The obligatory matching outfit photos.

I’m sure I’ll repost this next November, since we’ve all moved on to Christmas by now. But I can’t wait until then to show you the sweet and somewhat sophisticated table I came up with for our Thanksgiving feast at my in-law’s this year. Teals and blues are so hot (well really they are cool [...]
