basket

It’s certainly still heavy coat season in the northeast, but before we know it, crocus flowers will be poking up through the ground, forsythia flower buds will be plumping up, springtime props will accent our abodes……..and eggs will be laid.  Yes, they will be laid atop mantles, in hutches, under cloches, within tabletop centerpieces, and will magically find their way into the most curious of places in our homes.

Today I thought I’d lay a little visual clutch of inspiration for you in the hopes that it may hatch a few ideas in your head.

Who says that you can’t clutch eggs in a chum pot?  Oh, yes you can…..

Clutch them in deep fryer baskets…….

and in coffee pots…….

Stash them inside tomato mashers and cigar boxes……….

and nestle them within your favorite fashion accessory, too.

Trust me, no one will cackle at you.

Besides, mama always said to never put all of your eggs in one basket.  She was right.
