After Easter Bunny Sale

In addition to enjoying the festivities of a particular holiday, thrifty shoppers look forward to the post holiday sale.



I found these cute little egg cups in the clearance section at Ross.





I look forward to not only using them for eggs but with my Spring decor as well. (And of course in photo shoots in the backyard...)


(TMI: We have a dog and let's just say that the next photo shoot I do in the backyard I'll be wearing shoes.)



I've been seeing these cute little bunnies everywhere.





Here they are in a darling place setting. A friend of mine also had some that she tucked into a pitcher filled with flowers. It was simply adorable.


So I had seen these bunnies around and decided that I would check out the post holiday sales and see if I could find some of my own.


I hadn't been to Pier 1 in awhile.




I loved all the beautiful colors.





Didn't love some of the prices--yikes!




They had beautiful (pricey) mirrors.




Colorful selection of pillows.





This was what I was looking for.




Jackpot! They had 6 left and yes I did buy them all.





I'll admit I had fun playing with them outside in the backyard.




Okay, this has nothing to do with fun Easter deals. It's just something that I thought was a little odd. Look how empty the parking lot is. (And this is only one section, too.)





The majority of the parking lot is empty and a truck comes and parks really close to me. I mean really close! I was sitting in my vehicle at the time and just thought it was very weird.




I might have been a little irritated if it was any other truck but since this had ice cream on the side...


(Is it strange for a truck to do that or am I just strange thinking it is?)




One last thing. I've been looking for this type of white fur fabric everywhere but with no success. I finally found it at Hancock Fabrics today. Yay! (Unfortunately it was NOT on sale even though it was called Bunny Fur.) I bought the last yard and a half they had anyway.


I have a wonderful idea for a project with this fur. I'm really excited about it and hope that it turns out the way I'm envisioning it.


Three hints:

1) dumpster diving

2) spray adhesive

3) my daughter's bedroom


It's going to be awesome!
