Easter was almost three weeks ago and in that time, I have not really been enthused enough to get on here and say something about it.  We did have a party at our barn and I intended to put pictures on the ol’ web log but just haven’t. What with everyone being on twitter and facebook, I suspect I might be getting tired of competing for my fifteen minutes of fame.  

still life by me

The easter eggs were colored this year using a technique susie (or Julie) saw on Martha or Rachael or Oprah or maybe Judge Judy. I don’t know which. The process requires cutting up silk ties and wrapping the pieces around the eggs as they boil. 

The easter basket shown here is actually a cake created by a lady named Andrea. The whole thing, excluding the handle, was edible. Andrea spent a part of her working life as a cake decorator for a bakery.
