Egg-cellent Style

I couldn't tell you the last time I busted out the hard boiled eggs and egg dye kit. It's been years since I got creative on the thin shell. But this past weekend, I caved. With eggs and dye in hand, I was determined to create some fun and unique Easter Egg designs. Dye wasn't the only thing I used though. Acrylic paint was the key to creating my different designs. It gave me the flexibility to make different eggs representing styles like abstract, nautical, and preppy. Here's the how to on creating each of these egg-cellent designs.

:: Supplies ::
Egg Dye Kit
Hard Boiled Eggs
Small Paint Brush
Acrylic Paint

:: Directions ::
1. Create dye according to box directions.
2. Place eggs in dye and let sit till desired color is reached.
3. Paint away!

Lusting After {Easter Brunch}

It's true. I'm lusting after this Sunday's Easter brunch. Full of bright blooms and yummy foods, I can't wait for Sunday at 2 o'clock. Not only is this festive meal a great time for family and friend to gather together and celebrate, but it is also the perfect introduction to a season full of outdoor soirees. 

For the first big celebratory brunch of the season, embrace the day and decorate to the nines. Dyed egg should take center stage as centerpieces. Whether gathered together in a clear hurricane surrounded by green palm fronds or spaced intermittently between fresh blooming bud centerpieces, dyed eggs are a great way to add pops of color and pattern to your table. Complete the look with pastel tablecloths, coordinating patterned plates, and napkins with custom rings. Serve up mimosas, deviled eggs, and other tasty treats. Add the perfect ending to the day with a huge egg hunt for those of all ages!
