Decorated Easter Egg in a Country Pantry

A large decorated Easter egg stands inside a farmhouse pantry. Arranged around the egg are a basket and pussy willow branches.

Pussy Willow Traditions in Spring

Pussy willow branches bear soft, silky gray catkins that bloom early in spring before green leaves appear. In many European country traditions, pussy willows replace palm leaves for spring home decorations because they thrive in chilly weather.

Traditional Colors of Pantry Harvest Items

  • Decorated Easter egg: soft pastel yellow, lavender, mint green, or rose pink
  • Pussy willow catkins: silver gray or fuzzy off-white with brown stems
  • Woven basket: natural reed beige, warm chestnut, or wicker tan
  • Pantry shelving: aged pine brown, rustic cream, or distressed whitewash
