An Early Start

 Getting the binding done on the table runner inspired me to go dig out the Easter stuff.




 It's the one event I get to host every year and I am always woefully unprepared.


 Other than the dye, Easter just doesn't do it for me celebration-wise.  I've been to Home Goods three times looking for some decorative inspiration and came home empty handed.



 Even worse, there is always a candy crisis. Already I've missed the boat on both jelly beans and yellow peeps. My local stores are out of them and won't be restocking. I also can never find marshmallow bunnies or malted robin's eggs anymore. Jeesh.



I did stock up on eggs.  I've heard they peel better if they are older. I hate making deviled eggs with uncooperative shells.

    I've seen Peeps everywhere, but never noticed if there were yellow ones. I know the store Tuesday Morning had lots of them and so did the CVS drug store.

    Oh... now you've got me wanting devilled eggs!
    And yes - I can attest - older eggs are better for peeling. you never want one fresh from the chicken bum!

    I love spring and Easter is my favorite holiday of the year! It's Resurrection Sunday which is the biggest holiday that a Christian can celebrate. I enjoyed seeing all of your preparations. I've bought peeps a couple times this year for our grandchildren. They're always popular. I've never found the chocolate ones though.

    I agree. The older eggs do peel better. I still can't believe it's Easter time already. I'm not prepared at all!
