Decorating for Easter

Welcome to the 218th Metamorphosis Monday!

Last month I shared how my friend, Marie decorated her beautiful Victorian home for Valentine’s Day.  The Valentine’s Day decorations served a dual purpose since they were also in honor of the 4th annual “Hearts for Heroes” reception Marie hosted in her home in honor of the armed forces and our local military personnel.

Marie has her spring/Easter decorations up now and Mother Nature is helping by doing her part.

Daffodils for Springtime

Here’s a fun way to decorate those bare trees until the leaves begin to appear.  Marie decorated two trees in her front yard with colorful eggs.

The pansies were in full bloom…so pretty!

Marie lined her brick walkway with cute Easter egg lights.  Wish I had a nighttime pic to share.   I bet it’s wonderful in the evening.  While we were out shopping later that afternoon, we ran into several folks who told Marie how much they enjoy seeing her decorations when they drive by her home.

The porch railing was decorated for Easter/Springtime, too.

Come a bit closer and check it out.

Lit egg garland and wreaths adorned the porch railing and each of the columns.  This must be so pretty lit up at night!

The front porch was all decked out for Easter, too.

Egg wreaths adorned the columns on either side of the front door.

If you are participating in Metamorphosis Monday you will need to link up the “permalink” to your MM post and not your general blog address. To get your permalink, click on your post name, then just copy and paste the address that shows up in the address bar at the top of your blog, into the “url” box for InLinkz.

In order to link up, you’ll need to include a link in your MM post back to the party so the other participants will have an opportunity to receive visits from your wonderful blog readers.

Please observe these few rules:

Only link up Before and After posts that are home, gardening, crafting, painting, sewing, cooking, DIY related.

Do not link up if you’re doing so to promote a website or product.

Do not link up a post that was just linked last week since a lot of readers will have already seen that post.

Do not type in ALL CAPS.  It spreads the links waaaay out.

Let’s try something fun today! Please visit the person who linked before you and after you…that way everyone will get some visits.

  30. An Easter fairyland! Just beautiful!
    Susan, I am having problems finding the thumbnails to click on for the linky party. This is the third week and I cannot figure out what has changed. Do I need to subscribe to your site? In the past, they were just there after the directions how to post if you were participating. Now it says “Thanks for coming to the party”. and the next thing to appear is “You Might Also Like”, the box about subscribing to the Porch, Dr. Oz ad, and then Comments. I have clicked on everything, however, there is nothing for the links to others sites. Is it me, my computer, or a gilch in system? Thanks for your help.
    Happy Easter to you and your family,
    MaryEllen

    • MaryEllen, the links are located at the bottom of the post. When you click on the title of the post and it opens up, the links are located at the end of the post. They are right after the sentence, “Looking forward to your Before and After!” I’m not sure why they aren’t visible for you. I haven’t had anyone else mention this so it must be a glitch on your end or with your computer, I guess.

    • Mary Ellen, I could see it earlier when you asked but now they are missing, so I just reloaded the InLinkz code back into the post. Check to see if you can see the links now. Thanks!

  31. Oh how I wish I had a porch. I love how cozy this house looks.
    Thanks for sharing such pretty photos.

  32. Oh I adore that house!!!! Its is beauty. I don’t generally like Victorians but this almost has a mixture of Victorian and Farmhouse too. How sweet are her decorations? I feel bad that I haven’t done anything but thrown a wreath on the door. Sigh. Thanks for sharing. xxoo

  33. How pretty Susan, I would love to see it all lit up. Love the unique egg lights along the pathway.
    I will not be decorating for Easter, as you know, I am leaving for France and England a week today, so will celebrate it there.
    Always a pleasure to visit Marie’ house. Thank you both for hosting.

  34. All the daffodils popping are so pretty, we are still a long way from our making an appearance! Thanks for hosting this week, Laura

  35. Thanks for the party! What a beautiful home to share. I can appreciate all the hardwork. I’d love to know what the door paint color is. I’m looking to paint my home this year and need the inspiration.

    • marie barnes says

      I think the door paint is something like Chinese Red by benjamin moore. give me a few days and i will see if i can find it in my notes on the house. thanks for your comments. marie

  36. Thanks for all of the wonderful inspiration with your link party! 🙂

  37. What a beautiful house — you must really enjoy your visits there!

  38. My goodness, this woman has the most fabulous decorations for every season. She has things I’ve never seen before and she certainly knows how to use them! Love!

  39. Love all the cute Easter decorations! Thanks for hosting!…hugs…Debbie

  40. I’m not a blogger, but a longtime reader. I have been following you for a while and certainly enjoy each of your posts. I too am having problems finding the thumbnails to click on for the linky party this week. Haven’t changed anything on this end (to my knowledge) but certainly don’t want to miss out on all the goodies this week. Any suggestions?

    • They were there earlier today, but they are gone now. Maybe Inlinkz had a glitch or something. I just reloaded the code back into the post. Thanks for letting me know!

  41. Hi,
    I am having the same problem as Mary Ellen…I don’t see “Looking forward to the before and after!” There is nothing to click on…I have been visiting your site for a very long time and have not had a problem til this week.

    • Kathy, I don’t know what’s going on with InLinkz. When Mary Ellen mentioned it, they were still there when I looked. Maybe it just loaded a cached page and maybe that’s what I was seeing. I just grabbed the code again from InLinkz so check now.

  42. Cherry Goodson says

    Hi Susan, just reading Mary Ellen’s comment about not being able to find the links after viewing Marie’s house for your MM. This morning they were all there, this afternoon I came back to look at the rest and they are all gone. So missed most all of the other links pictures. This has happened the in the last two weeks on Mondays’. Have you changed anything? I read the response from you to go under the Dr. Oz picture and hit MM, but I do not have that anywhere to be able to hit it. I’m not a blogger, but have been able to enjoy your blog along with all the others and have really missed being able to view them the last two weeks. Any ideas? Thanks,

    • Cherry, check again. I went back to Inlinkz and got the code and reloaded it again so they should be back. You may need to empty your cache now. I’m able to see them again.
      InLinkz has a code that allows for pagination so all the links are not on one page and helps the page load more quickly. I’ve been going back and swapping the code on old Met Monday and Tablescape Thursdays posts for the code that allows for pagination. That code is apparently goofing things up. I think I’ll just stick with the regular code that places all the links on the main page with no pagination. I had not loaded the code that does pagination into today’s MM party so I have no idea why those links vanished. I think I’ll report this to InLinkz though. Thanks for letting me know. I could see them earlier when Mary Ellen mentioned it, but maybe my computer was just loaded a cached page and and not the current page.

  43. Cherry Goodson says

    Susan, me again. Cherry. Whatever you did to help Mary Ellen worked for me as well. Just went back and the links are all there. Now will sit back and enjoy all the pretties. Thanks, Cherry

  44. Thanks for hosting! Great Easter decorations!
