    Gorgeous, love the silver mesh dome and the spoons. Your eggs are beautiful, sweet dusting of silver sparkle.
    How are you doing with all your time at home? I am getting my passport, just in case I can fly down for tea!
    I am eagerly waiting to hear what you have been up to!!!!!
    Hugs,

    Hi Laura,
    I love that mica egg! It is so lovely.
    I also love your old utensils stamped with sayings. Did you do those yourself? Is it easy? I have been thinking about buying a stamping tool and stamps that I could use for my line of jewelry. I love the look of it!
    Have a great week!
    Sincerely,
    Melinda

    These are all so beautiful!! I love the eggs and wire cloches. Also, Starla...the blue fabric with pink roses behind her caught my eye. I sold some of that very same fabric several years ago on ebay! Have a lovely Monday!

    Dear Laura,
    I have to give Starla the prize for best in post !! She's beautiful.
    Lovely Easter photographs and I just love those hammered names on the silver cutlery. ... and the silver mica is such a pretty plant. It reminds me of eucalyptus with very small leaves. Really pretty, Laura. XXXX

    Hmm - and I may just have to make myself an egg like that. Splendide! I'm into hearts at the moment - must be because Mother's day is on its way in Aussie. Maybe my Maman would prefer an egg after all!
