It’s time for me to get busy and add some Easter décor to my home! For me, a good place to start is always my breakfast room table. And since this year the little grands will be 4 and 5 and have a good grasp of what’s going on, I decided to use the Easter bunny as the focal point!<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja2-dtNySWV0cwqIlhaXgz5yRhnhlGDM04L26jLsqm3WMBFK7KhP3S4jHctOtsqeob7fW1-1iPBWZcu3DI3rjF01YOHmNu2o-T-gOyob9dKGMMblXtobk_uhJU3p0eAquRyJerC7Qs5nGU/s1600-h/CONFESSION%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520Easter%252520Bunny%252520Centerpiece3%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSION OF A PLATE ADDICT Easter Bunny Centerpiece" border="0" height="771" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6kGsv74xIsbh3d7yHQewg10ttNnJa4ShnQLTAfj3AXZBerXGP-KlKXQ7ukFsGi8Ny0WpkHKb86wy0jlzRI4GQ4J0EwMddN0f_8GUcBnzVS9iwJvXuHopuzabHhoyyXPk760NbdjLD9F1/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSION OF A PLATE ADDICT Easter Bunny Centerpiece" width="579" /></a> I started with this sisal bunny with its oh-so-expressive face! I found it at Tuesday Morning a few years ago. And…you will see that it has also starred in another Easter centerpiece as well! I added a polka dot ribbon this year to pull in a little orange.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5d7NRwlauHOdCyG20pUNwa6H784pAwLB5UWeEEFWqHP3BnQbbETrGzxNh_Pd7ENdSWnUnYHrUaEOXOIkZHcyQ4OVyysS7i89iQwkNZJOF1LbhMltKINhJT50SbHGWop1UtX7SutSjXnc-/s1600-h/CONFESSION%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520Easter%252520Bunny%252520Centerpiece2%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSION OF A PLATE ADDICT Easter Bunny Centerpiece" border="0" height="611" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH_NNpkLqy9-UU4jB1szFsh96MA74GzPMgtWRA3vhvwecrK9uOEDve3o31aPrRgloNrqUbR5n900Y9KuTlBuCDBlvlPv2lAGclIqqmZtAlAbbWtGRgYBq89SSQ4N2S0r9y-iI6BjIRJNv/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSION OF A PLATE ADDICT Easter Bunny Centerpiece" width="609" /></a> Next, I added a little basket full of pastel eggs tied with a bunch of cute carrots.
