I've wanted an Easter tree for a while now. So here's what Emma and I came up with today!
I was inspired by a beautiful Easter tree on a table in Garlands, a little home boutique down the street. It was made of forced branches in a clear vase and had sparkly, pastel eggs hanging here and there, as well as pink ribbon draped throughout. So pretty! But I don't have a bare branch tree to decorate (I keep meaning to stop and ask for some branches when they're trimming the eucalyptus along the 101), and I don't have any pretty Easter egg ornaments.
But I did have a box full of plastic eggs and a bunch of curly ribbon in my wrapping box. So we put the two together and hung them from the tree in the front yard. We started with the huge ficus in the backyard, but decided to share our Easter joy with the whole neighborhood, and moved it all to the front yard. But I think I'll have to buy some more eggs when they go on clearance, so I can fill the backyard next year too!
(I think if you click on the photo you can see it a little more clearly.)
