Growing borax crystals and wildflowers inside egg shells. The boy planted the flowers by himself to ring in Spring!

Of bees in the willow-trees,
or frills
of daffodils,
Or the scent of the breeze;
But because there were whips and tops
By the Jars of lollipops
In the two little village shops..."

Oona - you are so sweet. I didn't make the rainbow candle. I actually picked it up from a vendor at Pikes Place Market in Seattle, but I seem to have lot his business card.
