Friday Favorites from Sprinkles Bakes, Shabby Sweet Cottage, Kitchen Treaty, Better Homes and Gardens, Butter Baking and More

March 26, 2016 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! I hope that you have had a wonderful week! I cannot believe that this week is Easter, it always seems strange to me when Easter is in March, it seems too early. 

 What do you have planned, something with family and friends? I wish that this holiday included family but we are too far away, so maybe the next one. 

I know Easter is not about the basket and the treats, but it is one of those holidays that stands out from childhood for so many reasons, including family, baskets and so much more.  We used to get the most fabulous baskets, beautifully decorated and filled with all of our favorite candy and either a stuffed rabbit or a lamb, wrapped in cellophane, tied with ribbon and hidden. Before mass we had to search for our baskets, then once found we sampled a few treats headed off to mass and then home for and Easter egg hunt. In addition, we always had a beautiful panoramic egg. My mom made these eggs and each was unique and different. I miss those eggs because you hardly ever see them any more but I think what I miss more is my family and all that Easter stands for.

If you are still baking and preparing for Easter, Sprinkles Bakes made some easy and beautiful Sprinkle Sugar Cookies that you may want to try. 

Or if you would like to make a cake, a pie or something else that includes bananas or coconut, check out my 15 Easter Desserts Made from Banana’s and Coconut.

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Bun from Butter Baking

I made these Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns from Butter Baking and they are delicious, so delicious in fact that I will be making them again this Easter weekend.

I have yet to decide on a tablescape, but I love this one from Shabby Sweet Cottage using neutrals and probably things you already have at home. 

Natural Easter Egg Dye from Better Homes and Gardens

I still have to dye a few Easter eggs, that is only my list for today, after all it is tradition, so I think I am going to try these great ideas from Better Homes and Gardens using natural dye from vegetables and more.

Once you dye those eggs you are going to have to eat them, here are 21 Deliciously Different Deviled Egg Recipes from Kitchen Treaty.

This last item has nothing to do with Easter but I loved it. It is from Sharon at My French Country Home and is titled The Power of a Picture. I hope that you read it because it tells about the power of a picture, Instagram and the internet. 

I hope that you have a blessed Good Friday and a wonderful and Happy Easter.

    Good morning….like you we are all separated this year so we are meeting my two oldest sons for a nice day in the city then will have an early dinner there at a favorite restaurant. Makes it easy for me though I do love all the fun that goes along with Easter prep and miss the dying of the Easter eggs, the hunts, and filling Easter baskets……oh boy do I miss that! Wishing you a happy Easter:)

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself? I hope you are enjoying your weekend. #easter #easterdecor #eastereggs #dyedeastereggs #naturallydyedeastereggs #blue #blueandwhiteforever #eggs #easterfun #eastermood #weekend #weekendvibes #food #provincial #countryliving #betterhomesandgardens
