My version of all the Numbered Pottery Barn inspired spring pots. I used dollar tree ugly pots (see below), my glue gun, some burlap, some Dollar Tree moss, fake eggs I bought at The Christmas Tree shop (12 for $ 1.99 and they look like chocolate) and some numbers that were already cut out and sticky.

I also did this quickie....

Using, again, an empty tree from Dollar Tree.

Dollar Tree Egg Picks. I just took off the eggs from the sticks, pulled them right off and stuck them to the branches of the tree...$ 2 for a cute centerpiece for the kids bathroom!

Mad this 3-D art using a Dollar Tree Frame, some scrap material, some of the moss from Dollar Tree and an egg from the 1st project...cute huh!

Stuck the last three Robins Eggs from my Pottery Barn stash in with these fake chocolate eggs...

Cleaning out the junk drawer I found some cards that must have come in cereal or something...so cute..I just framed him with an existing frame I had...he's on the mantel..

A few touches on the mantel....eggs, bunny way over in the corner with my topiary tree...

That's all folks.....
