Eggs for Sale

Spring is just around the corner and with that comes Easter decorations as well as Spring Flowers!

One easy way to decorate for Easter is to add a few eggs around your house! You can take your standard spring arrangements and add a couple of eggs and you have an Easter arrangement that will last you through spring when you take the eggs out after Easter.

I am currently taking orders for custom spring and Easter arrangements. Contact me at
fosteringcreativity [at] gmail [dot] come
and together we will create an arrangement that is perfect for you!

Here are a few examples of using eggs in your decorations.

We have snow today so I still have a little snow with my early spring display.
Note the use of both large and small eggs.


Just a simple glass bowl with some Spanish moss and eggs.


My mantel box with my spring arrangement. I included a couple of eggs that I will remove after Easter.

The rest of the mantel (the other side has the greens and three eggs).
Note the use of both large and small eggs.

I will be happy to make arrangements for you or I will also sell you just the eggs if you would like to add them to your own arrangements. The small eggs are $1.50 each or 4 for $5.00 and the large eggs are $6.50 each or 2 for $12.00

Custom Floral Arrangement

My mother-in-law had me make a custom floral arrangement for her dining room table using her mother's crystal. Her mother had a wonderful collection of Fostoria Crystal and she wanted to display some of it on the table with a little flowers added for that extra touch. This arrangement was made using the

Glass Tray with Center Handle
and the

Punch Bowl Foot (upside down)

Here is the finished product!

Fall Wreaths

The time is coming to start thinking about decorating your front door for fall. Put away the spring flowers and bring out the vibrant colors of fall. Remember your front door sets the stage for the rest of your home. Don't neglect it!

Here are two fall wreaths I have made. Both wreaths as well as anything similar that we will create especially for you cost $54.99 plus tax (and shipping depending on where you are).

This is just a fall wreath (and is actually the wreath on our front door).


This wreath has some jack-o-lanterns added in for more of a Halloween look. The jack-o-lanterns can be removed after Halloween to carry into November.
