here is a little pre- Easter shelter-at-home egg hunt!
can you find the eggs hiding around the apartment?
every egg has a story!
if you found Rose Bakery How to Boil an Egg cookbook in the kitchen, egg-cellent!
i miss the Rose, both in Paris and at Dover Street Market here in the city. yum.

here is their quick, classic Egg in the Middle recipe below to start your day!
did you catch the bright paper party egg hanging on the cupboard door?
i think it hails from Erica Tanov's fabulous Elizabeth Street store, back in the day....
how about the foyer, my little chickadees?
hint: sometimes the crystal vase on the center of the table doubles as a nest...
paper grass and sparkly eggs from shelves in the local pharmacy will do just fine when you haven't yet gotten to actual egg dyeing activities
(pause to clap for the essential workers in our local pharmacies!)
did you notice the painted, blown egg in the step back cupboard?
i found this little chick at the Cooper Hewitt Museum garden egg hunt one spring and have managed to keep it safe ever since, nestled amidst souvenirs from travels near and far....
staff members at the Museum painted all the eggs!
where in the world would an egg hide in the living room?
i spy it!
a heart painted ostrich egg from The Faberge Big Egg Hunt held in NYC in 2014!
it's there, wobbling atop a stack of books, red on red on red, and just a touch of yellow.
after weeks of a citywide scavenger hunt to find all the artist and designer decorated eggs, i remember running to Rockefeller Center on Easter morning to see all the life-size beauties assembled gallery style to enjoy, then dashing downtown for a walk on The High Line and brunch with my parents and our dear friends visiting from Paris.
The Standard Hotel had a little petting zoo set up outside, including baby chicks for kids to discover.
in the end, everyone knows that i am a hearts girl on year round basis,
but it seems that i do have a soft spot for eggs,
or maybe just for the hunt...
this year, happier than ever to have a sunny reminder of spring renewal and rebirth while staying very much at home!
eggs eggs o o,
fashion is love
