Easter in Autumn

I am so proud of my vase of flowers from our garden. Okay, they are not flowers in the typical sense and they are certainly not an Easter Spring bouquet - but it is Autumn in these parts and I have to work with what I've got.

I planted a variety of leucodendrons around this time last year and they are bushing out really well - to the point where I can start using them for floral arrangements - all part of the plan :-)
I have used a few sprigs of tee tree and broom as well, these need regular trimming and offer an almost endless supply of foliage for cutting.

The best thing about this arrangement (other than it was free) is that it will last for ages if I keep the water topped up. I should get around 2 weeks of enjoyment out of it.

I'm not planning to go nuts on Easter celebrations this year, but it would be nice to squeeze in some crafts in the next week.  I have a thing for bunnies and eggs all year round, so surely I can find a few things laying around to help me get into the mood for Easter festivities.
