Hello friends. How have you been? It’s already April and Easter is this weekend. I love this time of year when everything starts to come to life again. I put together this pretty blue hydrangea spring/Easter vignette.
There’s something so nostalgic about blue hydrangeas. I’m not sure what it is but they make me feel so happy.
I added some pretty white tulips. They make such a pretty contrast.
I shared how I made these decoupaged eggs. They look great amongst the flowers.
Of course the painted eggs and some painted candles. The glass candlestick holders are from Dollar Tree. I think they’re so pretty.
This simple bunny I purchased a couple of years ago from Homesense.
Such simple little display but it brings me so much joy. Happy April friends.
much love,
Lucy
Hello friends. I hope you’ve been well. We had a few days of warmer weather but we’re back to very cold days. During the warmer days I was inspired to create a few Spring crafts. Starting with this sweet ‘ceramic’ butterfly specimen display.
You won’t believe how easy it was to make. Let me show you.
You’re going to need a 3D butterfly; used for scrapping booking. I found several sizes at the Dollar Store.
Paper napkin with a nice pattern. I love THIS one because it has various patterns and it looks like Chinoiserie.
-I spray painted the butterfly with white spray paint. You can also use acrylic paint.
You will allow it to dry completely.
-Take some Modpodge or Glue and spread it over the entire butterfly.
-Take the napkin and remove the bottom layer and discard. Place the napkin on top the glue and gently rub napkin until it
adheres onto the butterfly. Allow to dry.
Once it’s completely dry, spread layer of UV resin. I used THIS ONE. I’ve used it in another project you can see it HERE.
Once dry, I used some gold paint to paint the edges and the body of the butterfly.
I then used a little bit of double sided tape and placed it onto the frame. You can of course place it inside the frame but I needed to place it over the glass for better photos.
I love how this turned out and I can’t wait to make more specimens.
The resin make the butterflies look like ceramic and I just love them.
Look how pretty they look displayed on this arrangement.
What do you think? Would you try this?
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
much love,

Hello again. How are you? I’m just here waiting for Spring to get the memo lol. So to send a message, I made this cute Spring Nest Planter. It’s so cute and it’s making my heart smile.
Isn’t so sweet?
I added a couple of birdies from the Dollar Store for a little whimsy.
I used two 6″ grape vine wreaths to make the ‘basket’
I first uncoiled the wreath a little…
I then placed a plastic pot saucer and inserted it into the wreath.
I then placed another wreath on top and secured it to the bottom wreath with wire.
I then inserted two mossy twigs at either side and curved them to form the handle of the basket.
To hold fresh flowers, I used some floral oasis and inserted various flowers with a little moss around them.
Or you can use it to place plants inside like a planter…
I also tried these pretty maiden hair ferns and some violas or pansies. I think this looks so pretty and so springy. 
I think this turned out sooo pretty and would make a beautiful gift.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
much love,
Lucy
Hello sweet friends! How many days until spring? OH, TWO!! Yay!! I am so beyond ready. And so sick of the cold this year. However, I really hope we get an actual spring, ya know?? Considering we’ve already had 80’s, I’d say it’s not looking good. lol With that in mind, I’m sharing the perfect...

It’s that time of year: Easter is just around the corner, and with it comes all the joy of spring’s most delicious offerings. Carrot cake is back, asparagus and arugula are making their seasonal return, and al fresco dining is officially in full swing. And while planning an Easter menu can feel a little overwhelming, these vegan Easter recipes make it easy to put together a spread that feels festive, fresh, and full of flavor.
Whether you’re fully plant-based or simply looking to add more vegetables to your holiday table, these vegan Easter recipes are true standouts. They bring just as much beauty and joy to the celebration as Easter itself, proving that a meal centered around produce can still feel special, abundant, and completely satisfying.
Traditions vary, but my family typically gathers for Easter in the mid-afternoon. It gives the morning a slower, more relaxed pace and leaves just enough time between lunch and dinner to “rest your eyes,” as my dad would say. There’s no rush to pull together a full brunch situation, and you can graze your way through the afternoon and into the evening. It really is the best of both worlds! That said, more power to the brunch people—there’s nothing like a beautiful spring table in the early afternoon to brighten the day and spark a little extra joy.
And here’s the best part: every recipe on this list works beautifully no matter how you celebrate. From vegan Easter brunch ideas and seasonal side dishes to crowd-pleasing mains, cocktails, and desserts, these vegan Easter recipes make it easy to build a menu everyone will love. Whether you’re hosting a fully plant-based gathering or simply adding a few fresh spring dishes to the table, these recipes are festive, flavorful, and perfect for celebrating the season.
For a heartier plant-based offering, this vegan flatbread is delish (and simple to whip up!). If you blitz the hummus ahead of time, all that’s left to do is warm your pita, smear on copious amounts of hummus, and top with your favorite veggies.
As a recent tomato fan (used to hate them, sorry), I’m all about bruschetta as an appetizer. This classic bruschetta is, well, classic. All it takes is fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to bring those bruschetta dreams to life. Oh, and toasty sourdough to house these gorgeous toppings. It’s a crowd-pleasing appetizer that you definitely can’t go wrong with!
I like to call this one “anytime pesto” because it takes about ten minutes to go from blender to bowl and enhances just about anything you pair it with. You could use this to top bruschetta, pair with crudités, or as a “sauce” option with your Easter spread. Whichever way you choose to take it, be sure to top this pesto with lots of toasted pine nuts and fresh basil.
We love this recipe for how it celebrates the season during one of spring’s most joyful gatherings. The colors feel especially festive, and the fresh ingredients make it a lovely contrast to heavier holiday dishes. It’s simple, stunning, and made to be shared.
This is exactly the kind of Easter side we want to serve: seasonal, nourishing, and effortlessly beautiful. The mix of greens, crunchy vegetables, and creamy cashew-tamari dressing makes every bite feel special. Plus, those edible flowers make it feel especially festive for a spring gathering.
I’ll never stop raving about this easier-than-pie citrus salad. All you have to do is peel and slice up a mix of citrus fruits, top with shaved red onion and marcona almonds, and finish with olive oil, salt, and pepper. That’s it! It’s a whole that’s so much greater than the sum of its parts, and it makes a stunning centerpiece to any table.
Whether you’re Team Pea or Team Anti-Pea, you can’t help but admire this gorgeously green side dish. It’s full of springtime veggies like peas (duh), spinach, and sugar snap peas. Plus, it gives such spring vibes, no?
In this salad, einkorn berries straight from the husk are tapped as a textural topping that complements each beautiful element in play. You’ll cook the entire kabocha squash until it’s tender throughout, then layer with radishes, mustard seeds, pine nuts, herbs, and—of course—the einkorn. Consider this your new favorite spring salad, unlocked.
This simple green salad with walnuts and fresh herbs is the ideal sidekick to any other vegan Easter recipes you’ve got on your table. It’s simple enough to complement mains without overpowering any flavors. Pro tip? Shake up that dressing the night before so you can drizzle it over the lettuce right before serving.
Arugula, cherry tomatoes, pistachios, farro, radish, mint, and more—yes, more—come together to make this stunning salad that’s primed and ready to elevate your Easter table. It boasts the perfect balance of heartiness from the farro and freshness from the veggies, with herbs and crunchy pistachios sealing the deal on flavor and texture.
This pasta salad is a lean, green, and not-so-mean staple for any and all pasta salad lovers. The green content is off the charts, so you can pack in lots of veggies in a different format than your typical salad. It celebrates artichokes, avocado, peas, cucumbers, and a whole slew of fresh herbs to tie it all together.
If your Easter table could use something a little cozy, this is the recipe to make. It brings rich flavor and velvety texture, but still feels light enough for a spring gathering. Topped with pumpkin seeds, cilantro, and a drizzle of coconut milk, it’s as pretty as it is satisfying.
In case you missed it, mushrooms are the new superfood. And in this recipe, they’re superstars as well. You’ll take the little gems to the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme and sauté until they’re caramelized and browned. Then, add in a touch of ghee, apple cider vinegar, and dijon mustard. You can serve these alongside a vegan main or eat them as-is—either way is stunning.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that these are the best potatoes I’ve ever had. As a devout fan of sea salt and vinegar chips, I was immediately inclined to try this OG potato version. And they did not disappoint. Not only are they easy to make, but the recipe only calls for four ingredients that I almost always have on hand. Run, don’t walk to make these—you won’t regret it.
Yes, vegan mashed potatoes are possible and delicious! Here, you’re getting all the buttery, potato-y goodness of traditional mashed potatoes without the actual butter. That’s right—these mashed potatoes let the tuber itself shine with lots of olive oil-laced flavor and texture. They’re silky smooth and only taste indulgent. You get a healthier spin without sacrificing taste. Total win-win.
Grapefruit, vodka, and agave come together to create a vibrant cocktail that’s perfect for spring. It’s easy to mix up and refreshing thanks to the tart grapefruit. The best part? You can batch it with everything but the sparkling water, which you can add to each glass just before serving.
Vodka, St. Germain, meyer lemon juice, and sparkling water are all you need to make this showstopping spring sipper. It’s festive with those gorgeous floral ice cubes, so I encourage you to give those a try. Dainty chamomile flowers make the cutest cubes, but feel free to experiment! Lavender, forget-me-not’s, thyme—the possibilities are endless.
Carrot cake, but in miniature, grab-and-go form. On top of that, this recipe is a cleaned-up classic that you can come back to over and over. With oat milk, maple syrup, walnuts, and shredded carrots, this cupcake is perfect in every way.
This gluten-free, vegan strawberry shortcake is a true spring classic—reimagined with a lighter, plant-based twist that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. With crisp, golden biscuits that stay tender inside and just sweet enough to let the juicy strawberries shine, it’s the kind of dessert that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
You know all about chilled overnight oats, but let me introduce you to a warm-style oatmeal bake that you can meal prep for your gathering. This oatmeal combines banana, peanut butter, cashews, and cinnamon plus oats and ground flaxseed to bulk up the health benefits. You can prep this entirely beforehand, then either bake it immediately and reheat the next day, or refrigerate and wait to enjoy it straight out of the oven. You can’t go wrong with either.

Alterturm and Alterhof, the medieval residences of the Holy Roman emperors and the dukes of Bavaria, dating from between the 13th and 15th centuries.
Munich is a top European city for urban vibrancy, culture, and a fascinating, beautiful heritage ranging from the Middle Ages to the baroque and rococo periods of the 18th century and beyond. The city reflects well the massive wealth of the Bavarian nobility over the centuries. Although not captured here, I also loved the extensive neighbourhoods immediately surrounding Munich's Altstadt, with its many trendy cafes, great restaurants, and young people, as well as beautiful, lively parks such as the English Garden.
