A store called Big Lots/Odd Lots. But it was not that shape. I cut the top off, then cut the peaks. Surprisingly, it was very easy to cut with an old scissors. I saved the top to use upside down as a form for an “egg holder”.
But that’s a project for next year’s easter photo because I have been inspired by Deyanna’s boat for my Father’s Day Nautical Pictures!

Teri, the egg is adorable. Could you tell us where you found the plastic flower pot? I can’t remember ever seeing one like that.
