Freak About It

Now, you all know what a Pier One freak I am.

They just have decor items that I cannot say no to, so I gave up trying to stay out of their store long ago.  No willpower?  Yes, that would be me.

Whether you remember or not, I bought a small, sweet, cream colored and scalloped edged lantern from them prior to Christmas, along with their little strand of white lights, a sweet tree and added a few of my own items from home to the mix HERE.

Now I've done the same for Easter.

I knew I was going to love this little lantern and the lights when I made the purchase last December, because I knew that I could change out the contents in the lantern each season.

So, since I already had the lights and the lantern and a few pretty pastel eggs (from Pier One a year ago) I put this little vignette together by adding only the nest and a bunny.

Here are the photos from my current lantern vignette.

Do you own a lantern that you decorate?

I highly recommend it since the lantern and lights are a one time investment, and most of us already have small holiday decor items already stashed in our closets.

Putting it together is so easy and so fun to do!

Oh, and all of their Easter items are on sale or clearance right now, so if it's too late for this year's Easter decor purchases, buy it for next year and stash it away.

Christmas Project

 This was fun!

I was, as usual, snooping around our local Pier 1 store and they had the sweetest white lantern/box with a small string of lights inside and a few other Christmas type bobbles.

 I recalled that I had a couple of snowmen figurines and old ornaments that I no longer use, so I knew I could put them in this lantern box and have a fun display.

 I purchased the box, a 5 ft. strand of amber colored lights, and scurried on home to find my ornaments in the basement and put it all together which was so easy,

 other than locating my husband's hiding spot for all of the batteries he keeps on hand.

 BUT,

once I found them, *three AAA batteries,

 it was as easy as 1,2,3.

 Open box,

set items inside *whatever your heart desires*

 close door to box and turn on the lights.

 no glue,

nope.

No cutting, pasting,  

just 1,2,3 and it's done!

I didn't have any turkeys, or fall items to use this for Thanksgiving,

but that doesn't mean that you can't.

AND

next Easter I have some sweet sparkly eggs and perhaps a bunny that will fit nicely inside.

HERE IS THE BOX

GLIMMER STRING LIGHTS

*they also had green, blue, red, white*

remote sold separately

THE LITTLE TREE

or add what you already have to keep the cost down.

Have fun!

*P.S.*

Would also look great with just a candle and or some bottle brush trees
