I recently came across a bag containing an assortment of eggs and a gorgeous tin filled with all sorts of pretty Easter goodness. It was my kind of Peep Show.
Peep Show
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.
Aren’t these wonderful? I am using a few things on the Easter and Mother’s Day corsages that I am currently creating. I hope to have the corsages in my Etsy shop 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 shop. 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 in 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.
Easter Egg Diorama
I am currently participating in an Easter swap with someone who loves vintage kitsch, 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 Fashionista has to have one as well. I added a pearl necklace to her bunny.
Are you creating any Easter crafts?
Your eggs come out very nicely! 🙂
I was drawn into your eggsperience…Very cute scenes, but I’m thinking the fashionista has the most adorable.Have a great day!Darlene
I love it all! These are so precious!
I love that little Humming bird’s nest, so nice that you keep us posted! And I love all these vintage Easter goodies too. I never have seen those bunny girls. You did so clever with the german papier maché eggs, thanks for sharing!

Those eggs you made are beautiful!
BEautiful job Laura!!Will have to remember this!Monica
What a basket full of goodies you have there! Great job on the re-do’s.
Oh, I love every bit of this post! Those postcards are wonderful. I bought some postcard holders awhile back. I need some Easter postcards. I think I need to visit some thrift/antique stores around here!So, does steaming things just poof them back up or does it clean them, too?
Your eggs are adorable! Love Fashonista’s and Sweet Boy’s! Yay! Four your humming bird. I’m glad she made it. We lost some of our baby finches that nested in the palm trees.It was so sad. 3 little babies on the patio… 🙁 But on the upside… wasn’t the sky so clean today?! Have a great week! 🙂~Liz
Each egg is prettier than the last. You are very creative. I used to have an egg made of pink string. You could tell it was wrapped around a balloon and starched stiff. It has a little scene in. However, it got damp and lost it’s shape. 🙁
Dear Laura, you have captured my imagination and spun me down memory lane. Chicks and eggs so sweet, colorful and soft. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to bring back the past in your own “adorable” way
