I was lucky enough to be in New York last year during the Faberge Easter Egg Hunt, which featured 300 giant egg sculptures designed by globally renowned artists, designers, architects and major brands.

The sculptures were located throughout Manhattan it hotel lobbies, on cars, on the Brooklyn Bridge, and in window displays. The one covered in Swarovski Crystal (above) was valued at $40,000 and was one of two located in the lobby of the Empire State Building. The location with the largest amount of egg sculptures was the courtyard  of Rockefeller Center. It was so thrilling to walk around there late at night,  enjoying the beauty of the sculptures with my sisters and nephews.

This remarkable 25 day event culminated with all of the eggs being gathered for one last viewing at Rockefeller Center. Afterwards they were  auctioned off by  Sotheby’s to raise funds for Elephant Family, founded by Mark Shand and Studio in a School, founded by Agnes Gund.

Where ever you find yourself this Easter Sunday, we hope you enjoy yourself to the fullest. Happy Easter.
