Chicken Flowers
We might be the only family in Austin without chickens. I imagine if we did I would use this cute little antique wire egg basket I found at Uncommon Objects to bring the eggs into the house. I would also use it as I have today as a vessel and fill it with the most exquisite flowers-coral charm peonies, ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace, tulips, lilac, and spirea. I would place it outside to photograph it and, I imagine, our sweet little chickens would get curious and begin to peck at it.
