Decorating with Eggs

Easter will soon be upon us along with coloring and dying Easters eggs.  But for now to welcome Spring, I like to simply use and display eggs without any {or very little} adornments and in their natural pure form.  Here I have filled a large white platter with an assortment of eggs with a sprinkle of feathers from my chickens as a center piece for a gathering or other entertainment.

Placing eggs in a small ceramic crate egg holder is another simple and easy display to do. Having a few eggs on the kitchen counter is a pretty sight.  I love seeing the many beautiful shades of cream, brown, and green eggshells.  It’s always handy to have some nearby for cooking and baking too.

To show off a particular egg {in a subtle manner}, I placed it on a white plate with a bed of green moss, a paper nest, and covered it with a glass dome. This little light brown egg with tiny dark speckles came from one my chickens. I kept the eggshell along with a few others as an inspiration for possible paint colors and for other uses.  A great way to display and protect a fragile egg.

Over the years I’ve collected quite a few antique egg prints and one of the ways I like to display the collection is to group them together.  This will bring attention and cohesiveness to the display wall.

Interested in collecting vintage prints, a good place to start your search is at the website, Panteek.  They have a wide variety of egg prints and many other vintage prints to choose from.

Another source for egg prints and many other vintage prints is the  website, Vintage Printable. All are free for you to print/dowload till your heart’s content.  The two vintage egg prints above came from there.  I changed the background and made it lighter and sharpened the images slightly.  Feel free to use these egg prints however you like.

For an Easter table centerpiece, my friend Lynn put this together using a variety of baby lettuce plants, pansies and moss.  Tuck a few eggs randomly in the centerpiece to add a touch of playfulness.  After Easter, it can go outside to be enjoyed a little longer and the lettuce leaves will be a wonderful addition to a mixed green salad  or a sandwich.
