Happy Monday, hunny bunnies!!!
Hoppy Spring |
Bunnies are hopping everywhere. You guessed it ! It is another Country Clutter episode. ๐
Ya'll know I am no minimalist . I love collecting and enjoy a bit of clutter. It keeps my juices flowing and makes my heart sing. Yep! It's just my style. ❤๐๐
Today I wanted to share with you my little raggedy white Easter tree. It is plumb full of all things spring, Easter and loads of stitching and I did not buy nairy a thing for it this year.
The other day little Mrs Pinker, aka my oldest daughter, came over for a visit. Immediately she started laughing.
2023 Easter Tree |
"What?" , I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
She began to study the loaded down tree intently , snickering as she studied.
"What?" I asked again.
"Oh my goodness, Mama. Who saves these things? " Is that bunny from my basket when I was 5 years old?"
One of the bunnies from Prairie Schooler Bunnies book # 178 |
"Yep" I said beaming brightly that I had saved it.
Soon little Mrs. Pinker was hip hopping down memory lane looking at all of the pieces of her past. She about rolled when she saw a plastic candy container that still housed candy- vintage candy I say.
A thrifted framed bunny stitch and a bunny sampler . Do you know who it is by? My memory escapes me. |
After looking at all of the Easter goodies, I then said, "Lookie , I included loads of stitching too !!!"
"Spring Has Sprung" by Country Cottage Needleworks and my Love Trifle |
"Hmmm, fascinating - Where's the tree?", she asked.
Another stitch I can not remember the designer of. Oh, bother. Lol. |
"Oh, it's in there, " I reassured her. "You know me- I don't want to see the raggedy branches. "
And with that she laughed and with a wink of her eye she walked away hollering "Daddy, can you believe Mama saves all these things?" Lol
My little tree sits in a bushel basket . The topper is a wooden Easter stake that was bought years ago. Lots of loose flowers are tucked in here and there. All of my extra stitching was tucked among the branches.
Stitches from Stitchy friends adorn my tree as well as vintage eggs. |
This year I added teeny trading card size quilts in the tree using the tiny clothes pins that I thrifted last week.
Prairie Schooler Bunnies, Heart in Hand Needleart's "Grow Whirligig and my mini Hoppy Dazes quilt |
All around the tree is my children's Easter treasures. I always keep the cedar doll high chair by the tree; it is holding my daughter's Easter rabbits now.
Near it is an Easter basket filled with little quilts and a large ceramic rooster.
The Easter wagon is from the 90's and hold a small stack of Spring mini quilts, a chocolate bunny and resin rabbit.
But wait!!! That's not all, I have another mini Easter tree in my foyer. It is a carrot tree.
It sits in an olive bucket which in turn sits in an old enamel bucket . Below the tree is a thrifted bunny sitting a chair , a crock of homemade carrots and a resin bunny sitting on a spice box.
Well how is that for Easter Country Clutter?๐๐๐

At least you got to see some stitching and mini quilt stacks as well.
I will share the rest of my foyer and Easter hutch here soon.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to join me.
A little vintage cake topper, and loads of bunny stitches including Lizzie Kate's Spring stitch |
Thank you to my sweet visitor who asked to see my Easter tree; you brought a smile to my day. ๐❤๐ค
