This little violet dyed, Easter egg is perhaps the oldest egg I hang on my Easter tree. It was made sometime in the 1940s or 30s. My mother-in-law hung it on her childhood Easter tree. I think the lavender food dye has lasted far longer than anyone could ever had anticipated. The violets are made from molded velveteen.

In the collection illustrated above at the far left on top is a vintage aluminum egg that opens to reveal a secret message and perhaps a chocolate too. It was made almost 100 years ago and belonged to my mother-in-law. The larger eggs are reproductions only manufactured within the past twenty years. I filled them with jelly beans and other sweets for our daughters to discover on Easter morning among other toys inside of their baskets.
