10 Favorite: Easter Eggs
Published March 26, 2013 Holidays Leave a CommentTags: crafts, DIY, easter, easter eggs, Holidays
Total honesty: I have never dyed an egg in my life.
Ok, actual total honesty: There might’ve been one Easter when I was a kid when I dyed an egg. I have a vague memory of it.
But these days? With my schedule? And no kids? Yeah, Easter eggs just don’t happen. Every year, I pin my favorites and every year, Easter comes and goes, I throw together a side dish, arrive at Grandmother’s house, eat till I’m comatose and eggs go undyed once again. But I won’t be discouraged! One year, I WILL do something totally awesome to eggs (besides this, which is maybe the most awesome thing you can do to an egg). And until then, I will continue to amass creative egg ideas.
Here are my current favorites:
gold marbled easter eggs | pantone easter eggs | marbleized easter eggs | crystal egg geodes | graphic pattern eggs
sequin easter eggs | ombre easter eggs | rock easter eggs | french fruit eggs | gold leaf easter eggs
Do you dye eggs? Got any great ideas for Easter decor that are quick and easy?

Friendsgiving : A Tablescape
Published November 19, 2012 Holidays 5 CommentsTags: centerpiece, entertaining, Holidays, Tabletop, Thanksgiving
Saturday night, Aaron and I invited friends over for our second annual Friendsgiving dinner – 12 people gathered around my dining room table, stuffing their faces and drinking as much wine as possible. It. Was. Excellent.
For the centerpiece, I gathered mini-gourds, pomegranates, pinecones and a few gold and bronze tchotchkes and votives, plus my beloved birdie salt-and-pepper shakers.
For the flowers, I used a mix of coral/yellow and orange alstroemeria, yellow daisies, orange mums, maroon chrysanthemums and purple aster (I think…).
I made extra candle-holders by bringing in my Nate Berkus gold bowls, filling them with whole coffee beans and sticking a candle in the middle.
I took a lot of inspiration from my Modern Thanksgiving dream table, which you can read more about here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
