Looks Like Easter is Coming
I'm really late this year (or is Easter early?), but I finally got out my Easter decorations. The little vignette above is on my entry hall table. The decorated wooden eggs I have had for ages and have no idea now where they came from. They had a little decorated wagon that they sat in,…
