 As for last minute details that I was wondering about. Were brown eggs
 period? I am doing the lenten eggs and the thought of displaying nothing
 but plain white eggs is just killing me.  It is so boring!  I thought
 mixing brown and white eggs would give my display more color and life.
 
 Thank you all again.

I think that brown eggs are more period then white eggs, and I'm sure someone 
more knowledgeable than I will pop in soon with that info.

Have you considered dyeing the eggs -- you'll get a lovely robin's egg blue 
by putting a couple of red cabbage leaves in the water as you broil the eggs. 
 Turmeric in the water will make yellow eggs and, of course, a beet or two 
will give you red ones.
