Fitz and Floyd Easter Hoppy Days, Halcyon and More

I love displaying decorative plates for each of the seasons and holidays. It's an easy way to keep my home decor and accents fresh. It's also a great incentive to dust things off - which I admit I don't do often enough. I have a really sentimental side. When I'm really tired, I'll just sit and watch movies on the Hallmark Channel or read a Debbie Macomber novel. So it's no surprise that Fitz and Floyd decorative plates are a favorite of mine. The soft pastels colors of Spring and Easter decorations are a refreshing change from the vibrant red and gold decorations I use for Valentine's Day decorations. They really do remind me of the crocus flowers and snowdrops that I hunt for during our long and cold Maine winters. Sometimes there's still a lot of snow on the ground, when I start to think about bringing out my Fitz and Floyd Easter decor. In my imagination I can see my vegetable garden all grown with carrots. It's not a far reach to imagine the Fitz and Floyd Easter Bunnies scurrying about for carrots in them. That's really the vibe that I'm going after with my Easter decorations. I want to focus on the renewal of life, my home and my landscape.

If I could add just one element of Fitz and Floyd to my spring kitchen decor, it would be a Hoppy Days cookie jar. It's so much fun to keep cookies in a cheerful design. Whenever I go to my kitchen for a snack, I love to find something in a festive cookie jar. The great thing about a Fitz and Floyd cookie jar is that there is no reason at all to hide it after the holiday is over. I just find a table or corner that needs a little something extra and put it there. Fitz and Floyd designs are truly works of art that should be enjoyed year round. The little kids in our family do love eating out of holiday dishes. They come running into our house every year to see what the new appetizer dishes look like. They investigate my kitchen table to see what the salt and pepper shakers I've chosen to put out. Honestly as an artist, I hope that they take this same visual interest to art museums and galleries as they grow up. As much as I love figurines, I also love table accessories that look like figurines, but perform a real function.

If you want to include fanciful Easter Bunnies in your Easter decorations, then you really should take a look at the Fitz and Floyd Halcyon pattern. It is innocent and fanciful and will capture the imagination of everyone, regardless of their age. As you browse through this wonderful collection of Fitz and Floyd, you can see why eBay is one of my favorite shopping sites. It has a better selection than any local store. They sellers on eBay also have hard-to-find pieces that you'll only find in antique stores. Don't get me wrong I love shopping at local antique stores. But they don't have the dependable selection that eBay sellers provide. If you've never shopped eBay, you're going to love how much fun it is - and how easy and secure it is. You can check out every seller's Positive Feedback Rating, to see how they've treated the shoppers before you. You can also find the most trusted eBay sellers, by looking for the Top Rated Seller designation. That label means that that seller sells a ton of stuff on eBay, while consistently meeting Ebay customer service guidelines. You'll love adding rare, vintage and antique items to your home decor.

YouTube is a wonderful place to get a close-up view of many products. You can also learn a little bit about the history and value. Fitz and Floyd is one of the most popular collectible brands in the world. So if you do decide to give it as a gift. Your gift recipient will certainly recognize the brand and know that you value their friendship. I have to admit, that I also love it when my husband and I entertain friends and business associates. Usually one or two of the women, will comment that I've certainly taken the time to decorate our home with quality items. If they only knew how I bargain shop to get great prices on them.
