Tuesday Tutorial: Simple and Easy Easter Decor

by Hope Sewell on March 5, 2013

in crafts, faith

Good morning, all!!
I hope your week is off to a happy start.  We can’t complain here at the Sewell abode.
Although, I was in need of a little retail therapy yesterday.
Yep, it happens to the best of us.

On my little excursion (that I spent mostly window shopping) I got inspired to put together something cute, Eastery, and simple for the center of my kitchen table.

I picked up two little bags of faux eggs in the dollar section of my local Target.
I brought them home and searched my shelves and cabinets for something to use.  I found this cute little white cake pedestal.

I gave the assembly job to Ruthie.

At which I think she did excellently.
It’s simple, cute and cost me all of $2.

I had some eggs left over  so I went around the house once again in efforts to put those cuties to use.
The fruit of my search was a little bird seed, a simple clear vase and a piece of ribbon.

I love it!!

Petite, pretty things make me smile.
Christ is risen y’all!!
Let’s decorate!

A Lovely Tradition

February 14, 2013

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?? I’ll be honest and admit (as I’ve done before) I’m not a huge fan of Cupid’s holiday. The whole idea of chocolate, flowers, and dinner on the town has a feeling of superficiality to me. My husband and I have regular date nights.  Flowers die and in my minimalistic mind are [...]
