I WAS SO ANXIOUS TO TRY OUT THESE IDEAS THIS SEASON. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD "FANCY" EASTER DECOR IN ARIZONA, BUT THIS YEAR, I WANTED SOMETHING MORE "EARTHY!"
I STARTED WITH MY CARROT PLATES THAT I HAVE HAD FOR YEARS. THAT LEAD ME TO THIS PROJECT WHICH I HAD FUN CREATING!
I HAD SAVED THIS IDEA FROM PINTEREST AND THEN ORDERED EVERYTHING FROM MICHAEL'S.
THIS WAS THE INSPIRATION:
FROM: https://www.hometalk.com/27933080/spring-carrot-door-hanger
NEXT CAME THE TABLE:
THE CENTERPIECE WAS INSPIRED BY THIS PIN:
FORTUNATELY, I HADN'T PURCHASED THE CARROTS YET BEFORE I HAD TO CANCEL. I WAS GOING TO USE REAL CARROTS.
I FOUND THESE ADORABLE CARROT THEMED CANDIES FOR THE LUNCHEON.
MID WINTER, MICHEAL'S CAME OUT WITH THESE CHARGERS THAT RESEMBLED DOILIES. I BOUGHT A COUPLE AND JENNIFER BOUGHT THE REST FOR MY BIRTHDAY GIFT.
I LOVE THE CONTRAST OF THE BLACK PLATE WITH THE WHITE CHARGER, THE PLATES ALSO BRING OUT THE RIM ON THE DESSERT PLATES.
I HAD VINTAGE WIRE CARROTS THAT I BENT INTO NAPKIN RINGS. I ALSO HAD PLACE CARDS THAT I ATTACHED A FELT CARROT STICKER (FROM HOBBY LOBBY) AND FROM HOME GOODS, CARROT "CRACKERS" WITH SURPRISES INSIDE.
I FOUND THE LONG WOODEN CARROT BOWL AT MARSHALL'S AND IT WAS TO HOLD CARROT CUT OUT COOKIES.
THE MENU WAS TO BE "CARROTS" FILLED WITH EGG SALAD AND ANOTHER FILLED WITH HAM SALAD. MY DAUGHTER, KATY, WENT TO OUR COLD MINNESOTA HOUSE AND FOUND THE FORMS AND MAILED THEM TO ME! (OF COURSE I HAVE FORMS FOR MAKING THEM, DOESN'T EVERYBODY?)
FOR DESSERT WERE MY CARROT SUGAR COOKIES
AND "CARROT" FILLED CUPCAKES.
NO CARROT CAKE AT MY HOUSE! ONLY CHOCOLATE WILL DO!
ALONG WITH THE COOKIES AND CUPCAKES, MY GUESTS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A CHOCOLATE BUNNY FILLED WITH BAILEY'S FOR DESSERT.
I BOUGHT TEN OF THESE TO FILL WITH BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM.
THE IDEA CAME FROM THIS BLOG: http://www.cedarandrush.com/2019/03/easter-cocktails.html
I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GRAND DAY! HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO TRY THIS NEXT YEAR.
HAVE A SAFE AND BLESSED EASTER!

I CONSIDERED SERVING CARROT MIMOSAS, BUT I WANT TO TASTE THEM FIRST!

MY VINTAGE CARROT DESSERT/SALAD PLATES AND
CARROT "CRACKER" FAVORS.
WITH THE LEFTOVER FROSTING, I DECORATED MY FAVORITE CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOW EGGS FROM ZACHARY!
HAVE A SAFE AND BLESSED EASTER!
