Easter Sugar Eggs

 
I wanted to share some photos of vintage handmade sugar eggs that I've collected. The colors have faded over the years, but I think the soft pastel colors are still lovely.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here are some precious little flocked (fuzzy) chicks that I found a couple of weeks ago. Maybe a little too fuzzy...lol... They need a good cleaning before I put them on display.
 
 
I hope your Easter is as sweet as sugar. But most importantly remember the reason for the season.
 
 

Eggstraordinary Marble Eggs

As I decorate the house for Easter, I thought I would share one of many collections. I love vintage marble eggs. As a child, I remember my grandmother, Mama Stell's marble eggs. She had a dozen bright, primary color eggs. Over the years, I've collected them one by one in all colors.  I have bags of them so each year I try to mix up the combination of colors. My favorite are the pink eggs. They range in color from blush pink to bright fushia.  
  
These eggs range in color from sand to dark brown.
I love this shabby combination of soft pastels.
Sometimes I pull out just the darker shades of brown and display them with my collection of faux chocolate bunnies.

I hope everyone is having a blessed spring. The weather here in Georgia has been fabulous. Everything is in full bloom. (Including the pollin ... ahhh CHEW!)
