Egg Cups and Sweetness..

It's always fun to repurpose

our vintage finds...

(click photos to enlarge)

I have a few wire egg racks...

I really don't know their original purpose..

maybe to keep eggs from bumping around

when being boiled?

usually I use them to display

dyed Easter Eggs...

I thought filled with candy

would be a fun colorful change...

so I cracked the tops of a few

Araucana eggs..

filled with jelly beans,

mix in a few English Daisy blooms

and pure candy colored delight :-)

what would Easter be without a rabbit...

last year I shared with you a variety

of rabbits carrying baskets on their backs...

I love the possibilities

 of all the goodies that can be tucked in,

this year I filled his basket

with dainty Service Berry blossoms...

well you thought the sweetness in the blog title was

probably about the candy scattered about...

but really it is about the two sweet packages

I received in the mail today...

my Mom sent me this delightful paper basket

that she made...

loaded with whimsical paper flowers

and a sweet blue bird,

and of course a few chocolate eggs :-)

and my sweet friend Judith from

The Lavender Cottage,

mailed me this sparkly butterfly,

all wrapped up in her trademark

 lavender tissue paper and bows :-)

it has a magnet in it's body and another magnet on the back,

so you pull them apart

 and your butterfly attaches to clothing or windows...

for now,

 mine is fluttering across my china cabinet window..

Thank you Judith!

You are always so sweet :-)
