So what to do when you're swamped getting back into normal life, work, laundry, and catching up on life in general? Well offer to host easter of course! My main motivation in doing this was basically to use my china. I am so in love with all the wonderful things we got for our wedding and I just couldn't help myself. So I give you a thrown together easter:
Thank goodness for Honey Baked Ham gift certificates! We only got four settings of china, and three of our silverware, so I had to mix and match, but no worries. We also got that funky stripped pitcher, little blue bowls, the wonky bowl, the carafe and cups, the serving platter, water goblets, and the crystal bowl in the center, which was made for colored eggs I think:
I managed not to cook at all and still host easter! Even my brother brought over the decoration:
I love the vase he got us, and the tulips so pretty! Other than a lot of eating we did manage to figure out the clothes/closet situation. Bj added a wood support below the bar to take the weight of his clothes. I pulled the dresser out of the closet to give us more space in there, and re-appropriated a hallway drawer for his big shirts and stuff.
All and all not bad, now just have to get on to the rest of the house, it's a nightmare, ack!
