Country Rustic Bunnies and Chicks

Hi Friends,

Easter is next weekend, so I'm changing up the spring décor a little, by placing a few bunnies and chicks and eggs baskets around the house.

The fabric bunnies I have had since my daughters were little. and just  put them out in my Easter décor every year.  A couple of years ago I changed up the floral bunny by soaking the bunny in coffee , Thought was to age the bunny a bit to look more rustic. I'm not sure if I pulled it off , but it's still cute. 

When I'm out thrifting I always look through the children books. You just never know what you might find.  Children books are on my list of things to look for.

I hope to inspire you to get out and thrift, you never know what treasures you will find.

Thank you for stopping by,

Black and White Gingham Bunnies

As you will see, I'm really into the black and white gingham checks this year

Searching for free bunny templates I found this bunny template, printed it out and

traced the bunny shape on to white form board from the "Dollar Tree". 

Using scissor, I cut out the shape from the form board, realized the scissor did not make for a clean edge. I needed an x-acto knife or razor blade to get a clean cut. 

Using a x-acto knife cut out the bunnies from the form board.


 Using my new favorite black and white gingham fabric, traced the bunny shape on to the fabric and cut it out and glued to the form board.

This project turned out so cute, I decided to make two bunnies facing opposite directions for a variety.

First bunny I added a button eye and a white ribbon bow

 the second bunny I added the button eye and a cotton ball tail.

Thank you for stopping by for another "Dollar Tree" DYI

Come back soon Vicki

DYI Bunny chalk board

I've been digging out some of my Easter decor and deciding I need more bunnies, so...

Here is a bunny shape template I found on line. The template was small so I enlarged the bunny shape freehand to get it the size I was looking for.

 I traced the bunny shape onto a piece of white form board, I had left over from another project, and cut this bunny shape, painted it with black chalk paint, and trimmed out the bunny with white chalk paint.

 added a yellow ribbon bow with a button in the center. 

 I placed this bunny on my mantel.  I think it was a nice addition to my Easter decor.

Farmhouse Vintage Easter Vignettes Throughout My House

Hi Friends, 

I have been slowly making little Easter Vignettes throughout my house decorating for the month of April and for Easter! I hope you will enjoy see some of my collectables and also some old and new DIY's I have added to my April décor.

Here on my front door is the Spring - Easter wreath I made from  "The Dollar Tree: items.

This old window and shelf is right inside my front door.  I think it turned out nicely, the hanging bunny was a March thrift haul items,   a bunch of carrots I made with toilet paper rolls and orange yarn and the little nest is a diy this year.

this vignette is in my living room.  Just a few thrift finds I have collected over the years. My new addition is the little red wooden cart being pulled by a gray bunny I put a little cloth bunny in the cart with a couple of diy eggs. I just this arrangement in my living room. 

This shelf was given to me by my granddaughter, she used  part of a pallet and sanded and stained it.  I love this new added piece to my farmhouse décor. I added a few of my chicks and hen in their roost.

This little vignette has bunnies nesting in a Star Tobacco box and hip hopping around.  

Happy Spring!

Thank You for Stopping by.
