Easter Eggs

Ready, Set, Dye!
I know many of you are busy dyeing eggs this Saturday in
preparation for Easter Egg Hunts
followed by deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches.
I was browsing for new egg decorating ideas and found that the 
Better Homes and Gardens website had the prettiest ones. 
graphic, simple and pretty
a little rick rack and ribbon
these eggs come with their own grass
I adore these with paper bands and little paper flowers.
Aren't they sweet?

glitter polka dots

Yes, I did a little Easter decorating.
I'll post later today.

Oh and iVillage is showing off my silver spice rack today.
It's included in an article about DIY Upcycling by Bloggers.
See the article here.
More good ideas there.

Mod Mix Monday #44

Better Late Than Never....I suppose.
Isn't this a pretty room?
Lots of feminine touches but mixed with a little masculine to make it interesting.

Sorry, this is so late getting up as in almost two days late.
I worked 12 hours straight on Sunday and then worked Monday and just crashed
so just now I'm getting my favorites up and this week's Mod Mix.

Here's my favorites from last week.
Betsy Speert of Betsy Speert's Blog is back with this bamboo vanity in her Florida bedroom.
and I love this painted dresser from her bedroom too.
Robin of Decorating Tennis Girl is back with this pretty floral display on her deck.
My Champagne Taste did this great chair makeover.
Talk about an ugly duckling turning into a swan.
Love the color and the fabric she chose.
Amy of Masion Decor is redoing her whole master bath and sharing little bits of it as she works.
She redid this little vanity seat. Isn't it lovely?
And My Champagne Taste shared some of her china cups.
This is just such a pretty picture.

and finally....
my friend Cindi of Old Black Cat Boo added a weenie to her family! 
Isn't she precious? Can you imagine that her family just didn't want her any more?
Thank goodness Cindi was there to scoop her up.
She's got a forever home now.
Go there and read how Cindi manifested this little girl into her life.

Can't wait to see what you've been up to this week.
Link up below.
Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.
New and old together...
Please include the Mod Mix Monday logo and back link to me.

If you link up..I'd appreciate it if you'd follow me.
