Annie, oh I love this idea! I am having 8 out of town house guests and I wanted to make Easter baskets for all of them with Arizona based products. This is the absolute perfect container for them! Can’t wait to make them this week. I will give you a shout out in my next Saturday Meanderings. I hope they come out as cute as yours.
Made the bags and decorated the table with one on each plate for my grandkids. Used green checkered ribbon on the bunny ears and checkered cloth napkins, added a few tissue paper pom-poms in green and yellow (Dollar Store) and the table looked adorable. Thank you!
Carol, that sounds so cute! I would love to see if you happened to snap a photo? If you did, I would love to share it on Instagram. Let me know and I’ll send you my phone number or you can email me at [email protected]. xx
