Easter eggs

I love Easter time...the beginning of Spring....flowers...pastel colors...and I like decorating eggs...
These eggs are from a few years ago...I saw them on a Martha Stewart cover....She has the technique here.



These are my painted goose eggs.... I have them displayed in a terrarium that my Mother gave me.....


Today I will take pics and put them in the Etsy shop.....xo!

Newness

Here are the new canisters that I (finally) painted all dandy and on display.....

And here is another Dandy....my son, Paul, in his natural disheveled state.....
I am visiting "Them"today in Providence...I haven't seen Paul since Thanksgiving even though Providence is only 1 and 1/4 hours from Hyannis....but coming from Nantucket, one has to take a plane (about 20 min) or a boat (2 and 1/4 hours OR 1 hour by fast ferry) so that extends the travel time...Anyway, I am bringing Paul his Christmas present....



It's a drawing done in pen and ink and framed in a gawdy frame....I think he'll love it....



Notice how I got the hair right.....




He just got some dapper shoes to go with his tweed pants...Merry Christmas, Paul!
