Eggshells and Violets.
I know.
Probably not what you usually expect in the same sentence.
When we went to England last year, I brought home a cute ceramic
egg carton. I have no clue why. It just struck me as something I
wanted and it would also fit quite easily in my suitcase. 🙂
I used it to create a cute little Spring arrangement for
our Farmhouse-style kitchen island.
Here is easy it is to use eggshells for cute viola planters.
Eggshell Planter for Spring
……………………………………………………
I usually hold off on decorating our front porch for Spring
until March 1st or soon after. Then, I mostly add violets and
pansies that can withstand the cold.
Because it never fails, just when I think Winter is behind us,
Mother Nature says…
“Oh girl. That warm weather? I was just teasing you.”
😀
Inside is a different story. I have slowly started adding
touches of Spring, and even some Easter – here and there.
My mantel will come shortly.
I know when you think of cute Spring planters,
eggs do not come to mind. They are small and
don’t hold a lot do they?
That’s okay, because violets don’t take up a lot of space.
Preparing the eggs was super simple.
I took the back side of a knife and cracked around the upper
end of each egg. Then, carefully, I emptied out the yolks.
Then later I fixed an amazing Spring Frittata I will be sharing
next week. Once I had my eggshells emptied, I rinsed them out.
I carefully divided the plants into individual little stems…
I had to remove a lot of dirt. Then, I carefully “planted” the
violets into the eggshells.
It was that easy!

Eggshell Violet Planters in Eggcups | The Everyday Home
I only used three eggshell planters, and added some cute speckled
eggs on a bed of moss to the other spaces.

I decided to use the extra eggshells as single planters in eggcups.

I used these plain, white egg cups which match the
ceramic egg carton.

I have a set of four of these nickel eggcups.
They create a whole different look don’t they?
Wouldn’t these little egg cups make darling place cards for an
Easter Tablescape or used on a Dessert Bar with mini tags?
Can you imagine the possibilities?

For now, this little ceramic egg carton filled with Eggshell Planters,
sits on my cutting board looking all happy and Springy.
I hope you enjoyed my little
