My mom and I were making our family dinner plans for Easter the other day and suddenly realized this year is an early year for Easter – March 31st – just a little more than a month away.
I got excited as I remembered these two ceramic egg crates I picked up over the holidays and had stashed away just for Easter.
They both were found at TJ Maxx on two different shopping excursions. One was $2.99 and the other $3.99. I thought they would make the cutest display to showcase CJ’s Easter Egg creations.
Now that I have dug them out and it’s getting closer to Easter –
I want more of these darling little crates.

I just adore the vertical whole deviled eggs.

I love them too. I saw them at Anthropologie and loved them. I surely didn’t have the creative thinking to use them for anything more than storing eggs in my refrigerator. Thanks for sharing.
These are sooo cute! I have never seen these before! Thanks so much for sharing!

I found them at Ross & Cost Plus for around $3…quite the bargain!
I love the egg crates you found! What a great deal. I bought my mother-in-law two for her birthday last year and paid sooo much more! Pat yourself on the back 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!
lovely! there’s so much things to do with egg crates! 🙂

Oh, I’ve got my eyes on them too!
Love these ideas! Thanks for sharing the many different options!

Oh My!!!! I had not seen these, but just ordered some because of you! LOVE!!!!
I like the aqua #10. Pretty cute! My MIL got me a sweet pink one, with a little chicken head at one end but it got cracked one year. I’ve never seen anything like it again. It really was sweet!
Found the Anthropologie ones at Michael’s for a fraction of the price. Many colors. They also have the matching farmers berry baskets that are so popular (also a fraction of the price of Anthropologie’s).
I am already trying to dream up a reason to make the 70 mile trip to World Market so I can get two of the aqua ones! I LOVE the idea of vertical deviled eggs! I also love having 6 eggs ready to grab from the refrigerator without having to take out the carton and open it. Berry baskets at Michaels? I’m out of here!
I just picked up the cutest green and white polka dot one at HomeGoods. It will soon be on my Easter table.
Thanks for posting these other great ideas. I see jewelry in mine later, after Easter!
