ShareThisTiny Treats for Easter Eggs and Baskets
Our early, warm spring has melted the snow away, and is turning brown lawns into green grass ringed with borders of crocus and daffodils. Children will be outside for this year’s Easter egg hunts, finding eggs under leafy bushes or hidden among the clover and violets.
Dragonwings is decorated for the season with egg trees, spring flowers, and colorful displays of tiny treats – just the right size for filling eggs and Easter baskets. Here is a sampling of many of our favorites – some are useful, some are silly, and all are fun.
