This year, I found some pretty baskets at a flea market and figured they would be nice Easter additions.
The problem was their color. Turquoise blue.
I don’t do turquoise. Too in-your-face. Too look-at-me. Too too.
Have no fear – paint can here. This pale green is more in line with my colors. (Yes, I painted the terra cotta pots – and a bunch of other stuff, too.)
After the paint dried on the baskets, I lined them with plastic grocery bags and filled them with Spanish moss to make them look more like Louisiana. Added a few other handmade touches and voilà – Easter, Louisiana style.
If Spanish moss doesn’t grow in your area, use what does! It’s a simple way to make Easter seem more like home, wherever home is to you.
Very pretty and creative, Stacy! Love the color 🙂 xo Karen – Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you, too, Karen! xo
Captures the spirit of the holiday beautifully!
Happy Easter, Guap! (Hope it is a long weekend for you!) xo
The green is so much more Easter-y Stacy, what a gorgeous decoration you have created! Happy Easter to you and Norm. ❤
Thank you, Joanne – happy Easter to you, too! xo
Dearest Stacy,
Turquoise isn’t my color either and you are right changing it into such a lovely pastel green color.
Turned out very cute your basket and sure, that is a personal touch from the South.
Hugs,
Mariette
I think it would do quite nicely in Georgia, too! xo
Neat! Give you a paint brush and look out! Beautiful idea.
I know – I can be quite dangerous with the paint, Bonnie! xo
