This year our Easter dinner table will be adorned with charming egg cups we designed as place cards and a delicious and inviting tray of Bunny Tail treats to nibble as the guests arrive. Finally, we will send our guests on their way with an ornamental Easter container that contains a young herb plant of thyme with a gift card, reading <em><strong><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\">&#8220;Happy Easter!

I will be sharing the commentaries and photographs here over the next few days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking back, some of the most pleasant memories from my childhood were of the precious time I spent each year with my siblings, decorating Easter eggs for our church basket. It&#8217;s a tradition I continue with my own children, and the guidelines haven&#8217;t changed over the years. Easter is always simple, joyous, and celebrates spring with the wonder of children.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4272\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/easter-2016\/egg-place-cards-3-framed\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1342,1295\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1456911625&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-300x289.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-1024x988.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-300x289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-150x145.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-768x741.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed-1024x988.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Egg-place-cards-3-framed.jpg 1342w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I wish you a Happy Easter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter is just around the corner, bringing with it the promise of warmer weather and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[24],"tags":[388,42,389,351,390,302,148,387,158],"class_list":["post-4256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-easter","tag-bunny-tails","tag-decorating","tag-donut-holes","tag-easter","tag-egg-cups","tag-eggs","tag-guest-favours","tag-herbs","tag-place-cards"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Bunny-Tails-5.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3Zj5L-16E","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litalane.com\/lita_wp01\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
