is one of my most favorite things!  I have collected these eggs for years.  A friend helped me take these awesome pictures.

It is hard to see the scale but it is huge.  I used limbs (branches are too small) from a tree in our yard. Our tree is filled with memories of places we have been and moments shared with friends.  I am amazed with the skill of crafters all over the world to create these beautiful eggs and wooden clips.

Many of the eggs are from Germany where our family spent five years.

  1. Truly and lovely work of art .. the colors blend so well into your home decor and the tree branches are perfect for those little eggs and other ornaments! Love it!

  2. The tree part is new each year—-just some branches from a tree. I store most of the eggs in a plastic storage container for Christmas ornaments (if they are really delicate I put some tissue paper in the space). I have some also stored in egg cartons.

  3. The clips are from an area in Germany, the Erzgebirge, known for nutcrackers and other beautiful wooden toys.

  4. That is a beautiful tree. If you use real eggs and hard boil them they will keep and eventually the egg will dry up. Store in an egg carton and each year the shell becomes harder. Plastic eggs can be decorated nicely, too.

  5. Oh I love that! Where did you get the clips? I have never seen those and want some now! 🙂
