Easter Eggs

Ahhhh, Spring!

The Bridal Wreath Spirea is blooming like crazy in front of my house. Sugarwings and I took advantage of it and picked armfuls to bring in the house.

For most of the year, they are not the prettiest of shrubs, but for a few weeks, these bushes are heart stopping.

We are also getting all Eastery around here.

I've been covering paper mache eggs in vintage papers and old flowers.  This paper is over 100 years old and is gold leaf.

This little egg is wrapped in a pearl finish gift wrap, then sugared.

This one really is prettier in person, its wonderfully gaudy with lots of gold trim and tons of flowers over one of my favorite rose pattern wall papers.

I wanted to list it for sale in the Boutique, but  I think I need to get better photos first.

Beth found a big bag full of paper mache eggs at an estate sale and gave them to me, knowing that I'd love covering them.  Some are egg shaped boxes like this one others are just plain eggs.  I've been making some for Birdsong, where I 'll use them for decor and drawing prizes, but a few just shout Easter, so those I'll go ahead and sell now, or as soon as I get better pictures that is.

Some are listed now, if you are interested.

Hi Karla
Oh, thank you so much for your kindness. I had so much fun working on Lisa's gift! I can't wait to finish it. It has been such a long time since I worked on something for myself. She was so generous towards me. I so wanted to join you gals but just couldn't swing it this year... maybe next. It looks like soooo much fun.
Blessings today
Rebecca

I have to get my eggness going, too. With last weekend's art workshop, getting ready to head to Paris and work (silly thing, that work!), I've been overloaded! Finally got the workshop up on the blog, which was good. Now, onward to creating for myself -- and getting my decorating groove going, too!
