Easter Sales - Houseware and Decorations

I always wanted to be one of those people who remembers to check out the sales after the holidays and this year I did remember! I scoped out Michael's, Williams-Sonoma and Greenfields Nursery and Landscaping Company for their Easter sales and I got some great steals.

After-holiday sales are a great time to stock up on some houseware staples at rock-bottom prices. For instance, the Easter Bunny Jacquard placemat and napkin below were originally $69 and $59, respectively, at Williams-Sonoma. They come in sets of four, so imagine at those prices how much it would cost to host a dinner just for eight with a table outfitted in these pieces! Yesterday, I picked them up for $24 for the placemat set and $14.99 for the napkin set. The best part is that these cotton-linen pieces will probably be around longer than I'll be cooking. 

Three bunnies fou-fou hopping onto your breakfast table. I bought these placemats also at Williams-Sonoma with brunch in mind since the bunnies lend themselves to a more informal table setting. Cotton and machine-washable, a set of four would have set you back $50 before the holiday. Today, you can get them online for $14.99.

Who wouldn't want these cute little guys hopping across their Easter table? These Bunny Tiny Taper Holders (small candle holders) were originally $19.95 for a set of four and are currently on sale for $9.99, minus the candles.

This handsome rabbit is technically a tureen, but I can see him holding all types of Easter candies. He measures 6" x 6" and would look equally elegant on a dining table or a sideboard. Originally $19.95, he can hop home with you for $9.95.

Bunny and chick can hang out together on your dinner or coffee table holding eggs, jelly beans or any other assorted goodies. Though technically a set of egg holders, who says they need to hold anything at all? They can just sit there looking cute as far as I'm concerned.

These fluffy little friends (or bottle brush animal objects if you prefer) would be adorable scattered around the house or even in the garden for the Easter egg hunt--as long as you bring them in when the hunt is over. At $4.99 each, you could get a bunch and have yourself a whole clutch.

I couldn't pass up the chance to own this egg topiary. As a centerpiece, sideboard decoration, or even porch adornment, it was definitely a steal at $29.99, marked down from $69.99.

Michael's also had all sorts of Easter goodies on sale as well. These two dishes would be great for candy or even holding other decorative items such as blown out eggs. At $7 and $5, respectively, they were already a steal, but Michael's discounted all their Easter decor 60% off last week.

I love these two Easter topiaries nestled in little faux egg shells. Below you can see that the two are slightly different, with the yellow topiary decorated with eggs and flowers, and the purple topiary with eggs and grape bunches. Both are are about 9" tall and work perfectly in little picture windows or on fireplace mantels. Originally $7, I picked them up for $2.79 each. 

This little Easter tree is about 15" tall and works as a nice alternative to decorating an actual tree in your yard with eggs. This Easter adornment would have set you back $12 when it was full price, but I snagged it for $4.79!

 

In total, with 60% off, I purchased all the items above at Michael's for just over $15! It's almost enough to get you started if you're decorating for Easter for the first time.  

Lastly, I stopped in at Greenfield's Nursery and Landscaping Company, my favorite place to go for plants and garden gifts. They are selling these adorable BrushArt animals from Missions Imports. I wasn't able to find any images of the spring animals they were selling this season, but I did find these examples of similar BrushArt animals.

 

Greenfield's was previously selling little chicks, bunnies, roosters, and a mama pig complete with three little piglets suckling from her while she laid on her side. Too cute! Sadly, someone else got there before I did, but you may be able to contact the company directly for information on how to get your own. In the end, I had to settle for this adorable faux egg nest. Measuring at just under 8" and nicely priced at $6.99, you don't need to limit this piece to just Easter. In fact, this could decorate your home year round.
