At the very bottom of the tin were these postcards. I love to read the messages on the back and wonder about the people who received them.
On top of the postcards I found an assortment of bunnies and peeps.
Aren't these fun? I am using a few things in the Easter and Mother's Day corsages that I am currently creating. I hope to have them in my Etsy shoppe by the weekend. I'll keep you posted.
This photo should be entitled "The Blind and the Beakless"
I have never seen anything like these bunny girls, have you? One of the orange and blue girls will be looking for a new home via the Etsy shoppe. The rest will be a surprise in the Fashionista's basket. It is just her sort of thing.
Everything got a steam bath and small repair jobs via the glue gun.
I then began looking at the eggs. Several were missing their tops or bottoms and were in rough shape.
The old German paper mache eggs always have the most vibrant images.
I thought about the sugared eggs of my childhood that would have a tiny scene within their midst. An "A~ha" moment occurred. I decided to make a hanging egg filled with all sorts of bits and bobs. I used an upholstery needle to make the top hole.
I am currently paired in a Easter swap with someone who loves vintage kitch, bright colors and polka dots. Think she'll like it?
Sweet boy saw me creating the egg and asked if I would make him one. His favorite color right now is green.
Of course if I make an egg for Sweet Boy, then the Fashonista has to have one as well. I added a pearl necklace to her bunny. Tres chic non?

I hung the eggs on the climbing roses in our backyard which I entered via the garage so I wouldn't disturb Lil' Momma. We have been worried about her nest as there have been tremendous wind storms in our area. Happily, she built her nest well and was able to hang on during her wild ride.
