Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

Happy Monday y'all!

Can you believe Easter is only 3 weeks away?

Do any of you remember this Peter Cottontail song?


I sure hope Mr. Cottontail brings me a fun basket full of goodies.  Easter is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, because, it involves lots of bright pastel colors.  My college room is lacking in the Easter decoration department, but my parents did recently send me some of my favorite Easter Peanut M&Ms and I decided to use them as a decoration:

Isn't this cute??

I originally bought that mason jar from one of my favorite stores, World Market, to use as a flower vase, but with my hectic schedule, it's tough to keep fresh flowers, so I opted to use it for candy instead.

Wasn't this lovely?

Now it will have to suffice as a candy jar...

If I had a spot for a wreath, I really would love one of these:


Additionally, when I was in pre-K and Kindergarten, my school had an annual Easter bonnet parade.  If I haven't mentioned it before, my dad is very creative and also likes to be the best.  Well needless, to say, my Easter bonnets always stole the show.  Someday I plan to use them as decorations in my home.  I think the bunny one will be a great centerpiece on my future dining room table! (Special thanks to my mom venturing to the attic and getting these down for me to share with you!)

In need of a few touch-ups, but looking good after 17 years!

Can you imagine little Kindergarten Me balancing this on my head during the parade?!?

What are your favorite things about Easter?  How do you decorate for this Spring holiday?
