All Natural Easter Egg Dye

All Natural Easter Egg Dye

I have been crushing over the color Indigo all winter. None of the paint companies have proclaimed it as an "official" color of the year, but it's showing up everywhere.

“Dressing” Easter Eggs

Have fun dressing Easter eggs with your kids this year. I'm not sure why, but fake mustaches are very popular. Personalize your eggs with markers, hats, rhinestones and mustaches! Ombré paint style is also very popular in interior design and fashion. I’ve even seen the look on fabric, wedding cakes, even fingernails. It’s a gradual change in … [Read more...]
