Pretty Pretty Eggs at Easter Time...belated

This Easter Phoebe was given these truly beautiful eggs by her grandparents...no, not the ones in the nest! ...although, I reckon you'd be forgiven for wondering, as apart from the stand-out colours these chocolate eggs are pretty close to bird's eggs, don't you think? [And they are organic!]

The also (I think) magnificently-comfy-looking nest and it's tiny eggs belonged to a family(to-be-that-never-was! :-( ) of barn-swallows and was accidentally knocked down during a Spring Clean Up we were having. Since then it has resided on the Season Table we keep in our entrance way. A place Phoebe displays all the little treasures she finds on her outdoor 'doings' and reminds us of the current Season - although, as I mentioned - this was from Spring and somehow it is just so lovely, we haven't been able to part with it yet...
