Easter Dreams

Happy Good Friday!  In honor of Easter, I thought it might be fun to come up with a "Dream Easter Basket."  In my family, Easter is all about spending time with one another.  The basket tradition is fun, but we don't go over the top.  That is fine by me, especially because I'm quite the family girl, but it certainly was fun coming up with this fantasy basket.

What would be in your dream Easter Basket?

Additionally, I decided to participate in the White T-Shirt Challenge posted by WhatMissLoves.  The challenge was to put together a cute look using just a simple white tee shirt.  This is the look I put together!  Head on over to her blog tomorrow (Saturday, 4/23)  to check out what other people came up with!





Finally, thanks to Elizabeth from Life with Elizabeth and Jennifer from Blue-Eyed Belle for the "One Lovely Blog Award."  I received this award last week, so to see my random facts and the bloggers I awarded, click here.  

I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!  Look out Monday for my Easter highlights.  I'm particularly excited, because, I was put in charge of finding a brunch location this year.  I decided to try a Richmond classic, Strawberry Street Cafe, hopefully it will not disappoint!

What are your Easter plans?

    What I wouldn't give for a turquoise kitchen aid! SUCH perfection! And, I love the outfit you put together with the white shirt - I'm going to be rocking some white on Easter and I'm on the "hunt" for a colorful scarf like the one you included.

    Have a great Easter!

    Love it! I actually have that exact mixer and I've gotten so many compliments on the color. It's a classic :) Happy Easter! xoxo

    Ooh loving these polyvores! The Easter one is so creative. I especially love that ring. But that mixer in that color would be amazing once I have my own place. I'm not sure if I'm going to be going home for Easter so I might just have a nice brunch with friends in Eugene. Have a wonderful weekend Allie!!

    Ahh I just adore kate spade bangles (and ANYTHING kate spade, for that matter!) Additionally, I'm addicted to Smith's rosebud salve, so I'm sure the minted rose lip balm is just lovely too!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog, I hope you have a wonderful Easter! xo

    Great basket goodies! I'd be thrilled with a few pampering items ~ I need to pass these ideas along to my Easter bunny :)

    Cute outfit ~ it's 40 here so my t-shirt would have to have many layers on top!

    I think you did pretty well on your white tee design, and easter basket. You are going to have to teach me how to make these collages.

    I love your dream Easter basket! I opened up my Easter basket this morning (yes, my mother STILL gets them for us!) and it was all candy - I've eaten more chocolate today than all year. EEP!

    Love the white t-shirt outfit as well! :)
