As soon as we finished breakfast (we had eggs) I bid farewell to my family and headed out to the garden with my ear buds & eggshells to share my version of this lovely tutorial with you!
I started by gathering my supplies.
A little garden soil and moss and new little sprigs of this & that to fill each egg shell and create a natural Easter Egg Garden.
I also gathered blossoms.
Both pink and white for just a little color.
The delicate blossoms were a bit to large for the individual shells so instead the varieties of moss became my focus.
I think it beautifully compliments my grandmothers Dresden,
and allows the eggs to nestle together nicely.
So a Kentucky Bluegrass Easter Basket it is.
My helper is waiting for the Kentucky Bluegrass Easter Bunny!
I hope you’re enjoying all the blessings of this season.

So pretty Lisa. I have a thing for moss too. It grows on my tile roof and I've been know to go out on a ledge to gather it for my garden pots! Happy Easter my dear, Shiree'
What a wonderful Easter arrangement - just lovely! Also, loved your previous "blue" post. It's one of my favorite colors, too, and not just because I'm a UK grad. The games last week were amazing - so excited that our Cats won it all.
Happy Easter to you and yours!
Just to clarify - the photography on my post was my Easy Dreamer Photography. :)
