Alternatives to Easter Baskets

      You needn't display your eggs in baskets only. This year I put my decorative eggs from past Easters into an antique wooden box that has an enormous handle and old rusty nails.

Wood shavings would look more attractive than Easter grass,
but, my husband has not been working in his shop much this winter.
 So, I had to make due with what was on hand.

Here is a side view of this old wooden box. It is falling apart,
so I only use it for special occasions.

The box looks nice on my old Welsh cupboard, I think.

Easter Tin Pails Instead of Baskets

I often display Easter tin pails in my cupboards 
instead of baskets.

I have two yellow and white painted tin pails displayed
 between the yellow ware in the cupboard above.

The tinware, unlike the pottery, is not antique; 
I purchased it many years ago at a Hobby Lobby.

Using vintage decorations, crafting experts Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil 
 take the concept of the traditional Easter basket and transform 
it into something much more unique.
