kluless: Easter Decor

I always feel pretty lame about my lack of holiday decorating. The only holiday I decorate for is Christmas because it is a challenge to find room around here for rotating collections. Yesterday (talk about nick of time!) it dawned on me that I DO have a little collection of different holiday postcards. Wa-La! Easy to change, easy to store!

My kitchen hutch was waiting for it's turn for a good Spring dusting and re-arranging so the timing was perfect. Now that I have this Strange Notion in my head, it is filled with ideas for decorating with some of my other vintage postcards.

I wish I would have thought of it before Valentine's Day. I don't have any Valentine's postcards (yet!) but I have oodles of vintage "couples" cards that would make a great garland.

I am thinking all the rose cards I have accumulated would be perfect for Mother's Day. Does anybody decorate for Mother's Day??

I am really looking forward to searching out cards for other holidays. I have Christmas and New Year's and Thanksgiving and some Saint Patrick's Day. Surely there must be some for 4th of July. I am late to the party but at least I showed up!

Wishing you all a Happy, Hoppy and Blessed Easter!

suziqu's thread works said...: You have so many beautiful cards and china to display and why not create one for Easter or, in fact, any celebration you can think of!

Annette said...: Fabulous idea Kathy! I used to go all out for Easter, but not any more. I just don't have the energy to pull it all out and put it all away.
You've given me an idea though. Seasonal post card garlands. I might need to go junking, hahaha!; April 5, 2015 at 4:29 PM
Erica of Golden Egg Vintage said...: I love to decorate with vintage postcards! Especially when I don't feel like really decorating! lol They're so perfect for putting into those metal floral frogs...and calling it done! Pretty easy to find, and easy to store!
I have a feeling we're going to see lots more vintage postcards from you! :)

Annette said...: Your post cards are so cute. And a great idea for easy décor. I only decorate for Christmas, too. I do have fun putting things in my guest bath for different seasons or holidays, though. Catching up on blogs as we were gone to Palm Springs for two weeks.; April 7, 2015 at 10:38 AM
CATHY said...: I am late so I will wish you a happy spring : ) Good idea to put out the postcards as decoration - I will have to start doing this. I have so many and this is a great way to actually enjoy them.; April 7, 2015 at 5:45 PM
