Ruby Tuesday ~ almost Easter ~

This week before Easter I have a perfect entry for a Ruby Tuesday post. Perfect to me, anyway!
It is not only an Easter egg, it's also red. What a find.

An elderly man who immigrated to the United States from Ukraine gave it to me more than a decade ago. I can't imagine having the patience to create such a piece of art.

To see more Ruby Tuesday entries, visit Mary T, The Teach, our hostess for this fun meme.

I wish I had the patience to even attempt something so detailed.
Great Ruby!

Lucky you, to get such a treasure.
Guess the giver was glad to. That he had something that rare to give away.

That's a lovely gift and it's definitely worth cherishing it.
If it was painted via his hands, he sure has got really great steady hands.
