The story behind our "Old Made New" 2026 Easter Centerpiece.
As florists, we spend much of our time looking forward—watching for the first buds of spring or the latest floral color trends. But this year, as we began planning for the 2026 Easter season, we found ourselves looking backward.
Deep in our collection, we rediscovered a treasure: the Thomas Kinkade's Easter Egg Hunt keepsake.
A Journey to 2008
Originally released in 2008, this hand-painted cottage was designed to capture the "Painter of Light’s" signature warmth. It depicts a scene many of us remember vividly: a sunny morning, a thatched-roof cottage, and the pure, frantic joy of children searching for hidden eggs in the garden.
We knew we couldn't just leave this piece on the shelf. In a world of "fast-decor," there is something deeply grounding about a high-quality collectible that was built to last. We decided to give this heritage piece a 2026 floral makeover.
Designing the "New" Meadow
To honor the original 2008 artistry, we wanted the flowers to feel like a wild, whimsical garden that had grown up around the cottage. Our lead designers curated a "floral recipe" that feels both nostalgic and fresh:
- Lavender Matsumoto Asters: For that classic "cottage garden" texture.
- Sky-Blue Delphinium: To bring the height and clarity of a clear April morning.
- Dark Pink Mini Carnations: For a playful pop of color that matches the hand-painted details on the container.
- Ming Fern & Statice: To create a lush, mossy floor for our tiny egg hunters.
More Than Just a Bouquet
The beauty of this arrangement is that it doesn't end when the flowers do. The Thomas Kinkade cottage is a heavy, high-quality keepsake that can be brought out year after year. It’s a piece of holiday history that you can pass down, just as it was passed to us.
A Very Limited Revival
Because these are authentic vintage containers from our archives, we have an extremely limited supply. Once our small "find" of 2008 containers is gone, this specific design will return to the archives for good.
