Description
Noses pressed to the glass, three children counted the ornaments again. In the window of the little shop on the corner, beneath a sagging string of garland, sat a porcelain egg painted with a Christmas tree. They could never agree on the number of baubles; one swore there were twelve, another insisted on nine. Their grandmother, who had walked them past that window every December for years, simply smiled and said they would have to keep coming back to check.
This egg-shaped box features a Christmas tree, a lovely blend of the treasured egg tradition and festive cheer. It sits beautifully on a nightstand, along a bookshelf or grouped with other ornaments in a glass cabinet. It is offered individually, so you can start a collection with a single egg and add another every year, building a shimmering little row of memories. The hinged lid opens to reveal a tiny space for a wish. The tree’s painted ornaments reward a close look, and children love to count them, just as the three on the shop pavement did every December.
