Easter Basket Stuffing Ideas

Every year, I try to help the Easter Bunny in filling my kids Easter Baskets.  I always focus on the fun but non-candy items – I figure that Bunny has the candy part covered just fine.  So I try and find this that will last long then a chocolate kiss or a marshmallow peeps – I used to go to the Dollar Store and buy a bunch of coloring books, silly toys that break after 1 minute of use, stickers (never a good idea…). 

The past 2 years I have changed the way I do things, focusing on things from ARTifacts and other downtown shops so I can give them things that last longer and frankly mean more.   I am going to share with you some of my ideas for my girls.  Maybe you can comment with some of your ideas too – tomorrow I will share ideas for ADULT Easter Baskets!

Headbands from Purple Magnolia – the spring colors she has in her booth right now are sure to match any and all Easter morning outfits you have selected.

Also from Purple Magnolia – these adorable stuffed owls in all different fabrics. 

 

G Wizz Expressions brought in this wonderful hair clips.

Love this quilted bunny from Jo’s Antiques.

Didn’t pick out an Easter outfit yet?  Well, this two dresses from our newest vendor, Nana’s Kids, would be perfect!

 

Bangles, bobby pin clips and earrings all from Horsefeathers Gifts are more perfect ideas for your little one!

Yummy scented soaps from Seay Soaps are always a hit! 

What little girl wouldn’t love a tutu from Libby’s Nook and Cranny!  And her prices can’t be beat!

New Arrivals in Purple Magnolia

So I was in the middle of taking photos of new arrivals and some new vendors – and my camera started acting weird.  Then it stopped acting weird, then it started again.  ARGH!  So, Here are a few photos of new arrivals that I managed to get before the second weirdness took place.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Purple Magnolia has brought in these simple and sweet fabric hearts.  They all smell so wonderful and are perfect little something to give your closest loves.

Purple Magnolia has also brought more furniture for all budgets. 

And she has marked her “knick knacks” 40% off

Local Artisans–Petticoat Junktion & Purple Magnolia

Petticoat Junktion joined us at ARTifacts originally as O’ Baby! But as her ideas and products that she makes grew and changed, so did the name of her business to better protray what she has to offer her customers.

Painted furniture, repurposed items from her creative mind, are always available in the booth for Petticoat Junktion – here is a small sampling.

Now to share the fun pieces from Purple Magnolia.  While Purple Magnolia has several amazing re-upholstered pieces of furniture in her booth, she also have fun creating other fun pieces like pillows, purses from repurposed items, floral headbands, pins and these darling one of a kind dolls for your favorite little girls (and grown girls with a little girl love for dolls!)

See you downtown to Shop Local!
