I bought these cute knitted chicks & basket at a table top sale for the grand price of £1.50 for the lot...how can someone make them for that? Don't you just love the rabbit illustration in one of my vintage children's books?
I have been thinking about Easter eggs & how to present them - I'm trying to buy ones with as little packaging as possible again. Some of the eggs come with huge amounts of packaging - foil wrapped, enclosed in a hard plastic shell & then in a card box. I know the foil & box can be recycled, but what about all that plastic? I have noticed that the selection of simply foil wrapped eggs is growing (and there are always Lindt bunnies....)
I have come up with a couple of ideas, but as my children read my blog I'm not saying just yet!
In the meantime I thought I'd show you how I use my glass jelly moulds - they make super bowls for little eggs!
Love the bunny illustration and a good use for your jelly moulds.
ReplyDeleteI love your cute knitted chicks...and the vintage reading book!

ReplyDeleteThose little chicks are the cutest Easter decorations I seen so far this year! What a lovely find. :)
ReplyDeleteI love knitted animals and they are so cute those chicks!
ReplyDeleteDo they have more Easter decs in the shops this year...or is it my imagination? My mother was saying how she couldn't find any religious Easter cards anywhere,only bunnies,chicks etc...strange when you think what Easter is actually about! Sign of the times I guess.

Love the chicks, you're right, no one can make them for that. I was selling on ebay but stopped as some people were selling babies hand knitted cardigans for 50p.....that's just crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I get a bunny for Easter but I know I'll have to buy it myself :(
Love the little chicks, they are so cute!!! Love the eggs in your jelly moulds too - looks great!
