Easter eggs, colorful baskets and cute bunnies
are some of the charming treasures that
contribute to the wonderful season of spring.
While creating ideas for our Easter decorations,
we wanted to add a little Gulf Coast flair. To
accomplish that, we added beautiful fluffy
feathers to our list of springtime decorating
pleasures! These feathers, of course, are not
from our local beaches, but from a craft store,
and have been processed to be used safely with
decorating projects. We hope they tickle your
fancy!
