Pop Up Studio: Dyeing Easter Eggs with Cabbage

Описание: While we don’t know many details, we know that the Reynolds family celebrated Easter. In 1911, the two oldest Reynolds children (then ages 5 and 2 1⁄2) “hosted” an Easter egg hunt at their home in downtown Winston-Salem. Children looked for eggs in the family conservatory (like a greenhouse) among the plants. The Reynolds used decorations of miniature rabbits and chicks, a theme we still find in Easter decorations today! If you had been invited to this Easter egg hunt, you would have left with a little basket of Easter eggs!
