Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds – livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
I wanted to share a little shabby vignette I have put together
for Easter, in the hopes it may give you some pastel inspiration…

I painted some shabby roses on a boiled
egg to coordinate with the pretty dishes…
I have never been able to paint this style
of shabby roses very well, but I’m learning…

I made this little gosling out of Styrofoam balls and some feathers. He has huge ‘pinchability’ factor (that’s my way of saying ‘sooo cute’). The kids also made some little chicks and I will share the pictures and how to on a later post.
Hubby thinks his feet are too realistic
looking and a little freaky (you think?)

Looks delish, no? This is one of my faux cupcakes I’ve shown before here. I made several a few months back when I was experimenting with the technique. I have always wanted to open an etsy shop and this is one of the items I think I would like to offer.
I did not have coordinating egg cups so I painted
these two liquor glasses and glued some little dots

I painted some other eggs with various motifs…
The answer is the chicken…
the chicken came before the egg.
(but only after he crossed the road)

I’m sharing at these lovely parties, thank you for having us.
I’ve passed by these charming “cottage” dishes in several stores. I’ve had to restrain from bringing yet more dishes home. 😉 They are so cheerful!
Love what you did with the eggs to coordinate with the dishes. Too cute! ~ Sarah

Gorgeous eggs, Lucy. I think your shabby roses are beautiful, and that gosling is definitely pinchable:)
I have been out of town since late last week & had to return for some home repairs, etc. (Semi-’emergencies’.) I just read your email (THANK YOU, Lucy!) and you are THE sweetest person! I WILL answer at the end of April (I’m going BACK out of town till then) but wanted to check your blog! Such beautiful, happy Springy things! I’m just so glad I found your blog! Have a wonderful week! HUGS!!!!
The glitter butterfly ones are precious…very creative!!! I think the chicken came first too!…MAYBE!
Bonsoir,
J’ai vu les photos des oeufs, et plus particulièrement les oeufs brodés, tout à fait magnifiques, voici ce que j’ai trouvé, tout aussi beau, comme ils sont percés, vous pourriez peut-être vous adresser à cette créatrice pour lui demander comment elle fait, voici :

Bonsoir
Who would want to crack open one of those lovely eggs and eat it? They are just too cute! Love the aqua and shades of pink/red…you are a talented painter!
Just soo cuuute!
Happy to have found your happy blog!!
Where to start…I l.o.v.e. your rose painted eggs…I love the idea of the painted liquor glasses is brilliant…and your cupcake is simply scrumptious.
Very, very pretty! So spring-like too! Your post makes me smile 🙂
I see those dishes every time I go to Marshalls, and always look at them because they are so whimsical. You can’t help but smile at them. Lovely eggs. I probably would have used fake eggs to keep all my hard work, but whoever eats these boiled eggs will enjoy them!
What pretty painted eggs & cute chicks! Peeking over from French Country Cottage – so cute! xoxo, Tracie
I want to make these, right now 🙂 So pretty! The chicks are a crack up!
Very pretty, I love those! And those feet do look realistic!!!

Darling eggs! I can’t believe you will have to throw them out (or eat them)! I’m featuring you again, girl! 🙂 Thanks for linking up! xo
I am in love with your cupcakes! I have been wanting something like them for quite awhile to display on my tiered tea trays. Are they hard to make and would you mind sharing any ideas on how to do them? Or are you planning on selling any soon?
Thanks,
Donna
Beautifully done!
so cute! i don’t think the little chicks feet look weird, but that faux cupcake is just wrong! lol i want to eat it! the eggs are beautiful. you should have used raw eggs and blown out the insides, they you could keep them for ever! thanks for sharing this at my party!
