**Easter Grass Baskets** ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Style...

I've been making live "Easter Grass Baskets" for at least 25 years now...  It all started when I lived in Nevada,  where I had seen them at what we now call - "Occasional Sales"...  These SOLD very well for me at Grayslake Flea Market a couple of weeks ago, and I filled quite a few "personal orders"...


 Daddio's Diner in Batavia, Illinois was kind enough to "Save Their Early Morning EGG-SHELLS" for me...  I colored them as you would whole Easter Eggs...









For the most part, I try to use older Easter Baskets... 



 The Shells will keep for next year as well...



 The Wheat/Rye Grass grows very quickly...
The Baskets last about 2 weeks when watered sparingly...










Now "hop-on-over" to Debra's COMMON GROUND BLOG to view all the other InSpiRaTion Friday Entries...
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend Everyone!!!
