March Easter 2016

With Easter in March this year, everyone is blessed with a second display for the month.  With Easter coming quickly, it was time to get the show on the road (counter, actually).

Some new things this year are the lovely Spring-time trees and small, decorative eggs.  And, one other surprise.  But, mostly the display is in usual form.  Easter is when I finally display the (actual) blown egg with lighthouses that I bought in Winchester Bay (in upper right).

Here is ducky in the pond.

Bunny at the egg tree wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

And, new this year...

...a baby chick in an egg.  Yes, it is a thimble.

The new egg actually ties together elements of the display which not only includes the little animals, but also the glass egg with the aluminum foil inside...

....and what I call the "galaxy" egg.  The swirl inside the glass egg reminds me of a galaxy.  (Yeah, I know.  It's just me.)

Of course, at the top of it all is the "rugged cross" thimble.  The cross is also repeated on the top and highlighted with four "diamond" studs.

And, who can forget the back of the display?  Spring flowers and another Happy Easter accent the blue-roofed house.

I'll be back in a couple weeks with an all new display for 2016.  Spring will be sprung in Thimble World!
