Little painted and blown Easter eggs with pretty ribbons - Thanks, Mom!

These pretty little things are Easter eggs that my Mom made for us!  They are sweet.

Memories -

These are some items that came from my Grandparents home:  Papa's glasses, Mama Willis' gloves, a copy of Rip Van Winkle copyright 1894 with a 1906 Christmas inscription, and a cast French letter opener.  (And, for those "Glassies" with a keen eye, that is a Higgins clock platter on the bottom shelf of my curio).
