Hurry Spring, Hurry!

Posted by Missy W. @ 10:43 AM

I love spring. I think it’s one of my favorite seasons. Though I don’t think my husband and daughter, with all of their heinous allergies and asthma, would agree. I plan on celebrating the first day of spring by doing some old fashioned spring cleaning, another thing upon which my family would agree to disagree. After all that fun work, I promised Sy we’d hit the local craft store to get some hokey foam eggs to decorate. Hey, she can’t eat ‘em, she may as well decorate ‘em. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with them, but I figured I’d be struck with inspiration once within the vast halls of Crafts R Us. But then, randomly, I received a free April issue of Better Homes and Garden yesterday, celebrating this very season. Although I don’t think I am exactly their demographic (Domino RIP), I was inspired by a few pages within the ‘zine. They had a cute set of foam eggs covered with crepe paper and decorated with large ribbons. Sy and I are going to try to replicate them tomorrow. I’ll take some pictures and let you know.

Another fabulous find within BHG was the coveted ceramic egg rack. Coveted you say? Well, by me anyway. Giada always uses one on her cooking shows and I’ve been looking for one for a year. Apparently they are not as easy to google unless it’s almost Easter…Anyway, there it was, big as day from a site called Greener Grass Design - for only ten bucks! I scooped one up and look forward to displaying fake eggs in it.
