Break An Egg
…
I love confetti eggs. I love their potential, the colorful exterior that quickly dyes my fingertips, the fragility and all the beauty inside waiting to be smashed open.
And then. I love the confetti colors, the tiny circles of pastels all piled on top of each other, the clean edges of the cracked egg shell, the chaos in the breeze.
I saw my first confetti egg a year ago, as I turned around from unlocking my bike in our back alley. Cracked open, color spilling onto the cement. Stunning.
And so, this week after purchasing 2 dozen fresh confetti eggs, I went searching for more.
Happy Easter!
What’s the history of the confetti egg?
