Butterflies and Birdies and Peeps oh my!

Here is my easter decorating, I really enjoyed doing this, spring is my favorite season, I glittered tons of stuff this easter, the lambs, some bunny statues, the eggs in the dish, and some shells and silk flowers. I just took some waterbased Varnish, you can get it in the craft paint section, and slop it on whatever you want to glitter, then sprinkle on crystal glitter and let dry! Voila, sparkly vintage inspired decorations! They used to call it "sugaring" and used real glass glitter. I love the look it gives and plan on doing it to some of my Christmas decorations.
Can you spot the peeps below in the dish?! Aren't they adorable! I have them scattered throughout my decorating. I bought them, and the birdies, and butterflies and eggs at the craft store, the butterflies came in a big pack of several, so I had to buy 2 of them, lol, if I love something I have to buy 2 of them if I can! I am obsessed with those little umbrellas too, and scatter them around as well as the butterflies.

The pink long dish was my Grandmother's from the 50's, love that pink!

Oh, and in the picure above, on the couch is my vintage stripey afghan I am working on, more about that soon!

These lambs are vintage, they were my Mom's, same with the baskets, I glittered them both, but the baskets just the inside and the handles, I did the handles because they had broken and it hides the glue! Love these lambs so much!



More peeps below..........



And yet more peeps! Can you spot the birdie in the flowers?

Ah, I can never get enough spring, or never enough glitter! :O)
Happy Spring everyone!
