Vintage Inspired DeCoupage Eggs

So excited to share my latest craft...Vintage Inspired DeCoupage Eggs.  I've been "dying" (pun intended) to create these darlings for, oh, about 2 years now.  Finally found time to make some as gifts for Easter and my NEW "B Chic Boutique".

Made this purple egg as a hostess gift for my aunt for her Easter dinner.  Auntie's kitchen is lavendar, so created this w/ a plastc egg I purchased on sale at the craft store, glitter, scrapbooking stickers, ribbon remnants from my mom's sewing stash, an antique button, a craft nest that I had laying around, a vintage pastry tin I recently puchased, along w/ some pussy willow buds (sort of looks & feels like a fur wrap).

I've been making them in all different colors,sizes & from unique things I have laying around my craft studio.  I've made many of them using vintage Easter Greeting post cards & family portraits!!!  I am having so much fun with this craft!!!
