I’ve always dreamed of living on a farm, surrounded by my menagerie including a coop full of colorful chickens who lay the most amazing eggs in every color of the rainbow.
But alas, my eggs come from the supermarket and honestly, I’m not about to shovel chicken poo.
These eggs don’t need neon dye – they’re perfect in all their brown speckled glory.
Just crack your eggs near the top and wash them out.
Shred a brown paper grocery bag.
Fill a bowl with your little nest of paper.
Add your speckled beauties.
Who needs a chicken coop after all.
P.S. Love the natural look? You’ll love this spring decorating idea.
P.P.S. Want to see a much more colorful version of how I decorated with Easter eggs?
P.P.P.S. Enjoy some corned beef and cabbage on this St. Patrick’s Day (or just a green beer or two)!

i love the simplicity of this and i am always a fan for natural!
Thanks Cassie – and the frittata was delish!
i think you need a lesson in shoveling chicken pop next time you are at my house!
Only if there’s wine involved!
I love your egg display. I bought some brown eggs to decorate with but they are ceramic (they do look real!)
Thanks Judy – wish I could find real looking brown eggs!
I found them at Hobby Lobby in aisle where all the glass jars & bottles are. 🙂
Great idea Kelly. Love the food bag idea. Now I have to convince the hubby we need a shredder, been trying for years
Cindy
Maybe you can buy him one for his birthday!
Love your simple vignette.
Thanks Marlene – happy spring!
So pure…love it.
I’m fortunate to have a friend who has chickens and get a dozen beautiful soft colored eggs every weeks as I need them…(I too don’t have to shovel chicken poop!)
Lucky you – for the eggs and the no shoveling!
Love the natural look! Will definitely make a nice centrepiece on our Easter table.
DON’T FORGET to put those eggshells to good use after Easter. Your garden
(especially your roses!) will thank you!! 🙂 HAPPY ST. PADDY’S DAY!!!
Thanks for the tip Laurie!
No fuss and so natural. Really pretty. And I’m not shoveling chicken poop either. Like your idea much better.
I’ll take my chickens from the supermarket any day!
LOL- Kelly! I often think of living on a farm and the romance of it all…until I think about cleaning up horse poop and chicken coops. YUCK. I’ll stick to the grocery store version as well.
Maybe if we had young, studly farmhands to do all the dirty work – they would be fun to watch too!
I keep telling my husband that we need some chickens. He keeps reminding me of the smell and poop. They are so cute. I can’t believe they can poop and be so smelly ;D
When we get the urge, we can visit a petting zoo!
You always come up with the most practical and amazing ideas at the same time! Why didn’t I think of this?! Thanks!
