Thank you. I have never seen Easter trees in France and not even in Italy, I think it's a Swiss tradition.

I love the different sized eggs and colors. The flower arrangement is gorgeous! I don't celebrate Easter.

When my children were young I decorated the house with bunnies, chicks, and hung plastic eggs in the windows. Those days are no more. Heck I just barely took the Christmas decorations out of the big window in our kitchen. I had plastic over the window and just took the plastic down. Now I have my plants in the window.

@LadyDuck I often think about decorating, but don't. Maybe next year when my granddaughter is a little older I will decorate with her in mind. I love to see the reaction of the littles. They are a joy.

It's a long time that I removed the Christmas decorations, they never stay after the 6th of January. I only made this small tree, easy to make and easy to put down.

The idea of an Easter tree is completely new to me. Do you have Ghost trees at Halloween as well?

Love your little tree Anna... and I think that I will head out to Walmart and stock up on some eggs and a look in the back yard for something to hang them from! Just because darling granddaughter is so far away, it doesn't mean that we can't decorate for ourselves!

This is the only decoration I made, I wanted a nice dry grapes branch, there is a vineyard behind the house, but my husband prevented me to go there and cut a branch. I should have kept my mouth shut and to there.

Wow both of these in the photos are beautiful. My boyfriends grandmother taught him to decorate empty egg shells. It is not something I would want to do though. I would rather buy fake eggs and decorate them less easy to break that way.

I love your Easter decor!! For Easter we don't really decorate too much - I guess I put more into the Easter baskets and activities for the kids - especially coloring the eggs and creating a nice Easter egg hunt for them.

We do not have any Easter here in India. But now that I have many friends from that part of the world, where Easter is celebrated, I have come to know some of the decorations that go with it. But sadly, I do not remember anyone sharing his/her Easter decorations earlier. So definitely, yours comes in as a first for me. I loved the idea and it looks pretty good. If I had to pick my favorite, I would definitely go for the partly yellow and red one with the white on it (the one on the right side in the image) and even the blue one at the left just above the vase is lovely... my favorite color for sure You did mention that you had painted these egg shells last year and that has got me thinking... how can one preserve such delicate items as eggshells for a year. Just curious

@LadyDuck Somethings just come to ladies. That is what I feel when I read - I keep the eggs in a box where I have put wadding on the bottom to prevent them to break. - the eggshells are so delicate and fragile, I could never think of stashing them up for even a week and then find them safe

I hope the ones with flowers are not eggshells!

I also like the blue one and the yellow is one of my favorite colours. I keep the eggs in a box where I have put wadding on the bottom to prevent them to break. The two smaller and darker eggs are quail eggs.

I might try something similar one day @LadyDuck but for now I'm creating areas where hopefully I can grow some vines, trumpet vines would be so kool since the hummingbirds here don't have a lot of food sources other that the feeders some people like to hang from branches if they have trees.

It's very easy to create this tree and you can hang on it what you like more, not only eggs, but also silk flowers or butterflies.
