Inspired by Easter

It's almost Easter and we are definitely feeling inspired by all the spring craft projects, delicious brunch recipes, and adorable bunny things popping up all over the place. Here are a few of our favorites from around the web. These bunny cookies created by Baked Ideas are unbelievable. Who knew easter cookies could turn into works of art! They also sell the cookie cutters so you can make these beauties at home. (via Design Sponge)

How adorable are these handmade woodland bunnies? (Especially their backsides!) Etsy seller Sleepyking knows how to keep things festive and rustic chic.

Neon dip-dyed eggs are a fresh take on an old tradition. Instructions can be found here.

We're still swooning over these amazing glitter confetti eggs from Oh Happy Day. The full tutorial can be found here.

And don't forget about the Paper Flower Wreath instructions we posted a few weeks ago! It's the perfect project to spruce up your front door, just in time for Spring!

Eunice's Pinterest Picks - Happy Spring!

This week I've been getting into the idea of a fun and fresh spring wedding. It all started with the launch of our new wedding invitation lines with the ever fabulous Jacqui Lee & equally lovely Susy Jack*. From left to right and moseying down: Our brand spankin' new save the date from the  Flora & Fauna invitation suite by Jacqui Lee, love this beautiful, beautiful girl - so happy! Details from this adorable wedding (shot by Sweet Little Photographs), this handsome guy is so casually hip (Jenna Trapasso of Red White and Green Photography), and a snappy striped bow tie from Forage. Fun, graphic shoes from BHLDN, polka dot blusher veil from Sibo Designs, this lovely bouquet by Flowerwild (photo by Jose Villa Photography), simple ruffles (photo by Elizabeth Messina), and Flyaway Confetti from BHLDN.   Susy Jacks*' Daisy save the date from her brand new line with us! Love these plaid bows by the Belle and the Beau, and these cute graphic napkins from Merriment Events. Also love this fabric photobooth backdrop from Lena Corwin's gorgeous wedding...and last but not least, how cute would this little vintage beetle be for a getaway car?

Design: Inchworms Artist: Anna Hurley Inspiration: Spring has been inching our way! Who to send it to: Someone who swoons at daylight savings, who balances eggs on the equinox, who cries when the crocuses finally arrive, who dances in the daffodils... and who shares some measure of that joy with you. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The mayfly & cicada version was a little overwhelming and we made sure the mosquito Mother's Day card never made it off the ground. Favorite detail: Love how the toadstools and ladybugs shop at the same itty bitty boutique. Why letterpress? Letterpress packs the most loveliness per inch!
