Vintage Floral Easter Eggs

I had a feeling that Easter would sneak up on me like a quiet little bunny. For the past month, whenever I have had a spare moment I’ve been creating some lovely pastel colored Vintage Floral Easter Eggs.

The eggs themselves were papier-mâché forms that were imported from Germany. Sadly, Blümchen no longer carries these exact gems.

I gave each egg three coats of paint and topped it with a soft glaze.

 The interiors remained brightly shaded for a fun surprise.

 After the paint had dried I pulled out my various hat boxes of vintage florals and trim.

 Then came the fun of creating each eggs floral design.

I adore the French blue.

But the turquoise might be my favorite.

I hope to make a few more very soon.

    I don't think Easter is going to sneak up on you while you are making these pretty decorations! The eggs are all so sweet and vintage looking. I am always amazed at your beautiful trims. We are sanding wood and crackfill…I think my Easter decor will be dust this year! LOL

    My guess is that Easter is such a sacred time for you that you will make it very important. Darling eggs and the green header is great. I love that you change that up and make it fun monthly. Are you also starting to pack for France? Oh what a joy that will be. Have fun and I'm sooo looking forward to what you share on your trip.

    Your Easter eggs are lovely, Laura. And this reminds me that I have two little Easter dresses to sew for my darling granddaughters.

    They are so pretty! Easter is definitely going to catch up with me, as we have a sixteenth bday party this weekend, and Easter only two weeks after!
    I just adore the blue, by the way!

    Laura these are so pretty! I just put a few of those eggs that have pictures of silly rabbits riding bikes on them in my booth. I think I will take them back out and paint them!

    Sure sorry I will miss seeing you while I am there. YOu and son have a great Spring break! Am trying to figure out what to pack- we are in the middle of a snow storm right now and it is so hard for me to think of warmer weather!

    What a beautiful way to welcome Spring and Easter–just lovely! And that little bunny that is sneaking up on you is hopping around making messes all over my house! 🙂
