Miss Vintage Bunny~

With the approach of Spring and Easter upon us, I had to share my latest Thrift Store find.
A Vintage Bunny dressed in a tea-stained linen and lace dress.
I fell in love with her the minute I set my eyes on her.
Isn't she precious?

Look at the detail of the dress...the bottom is made of lace~



I know these pictures don't do her justice~Being that her dress is tea-stained, I figure she will be a perfect match with my tea-stained eggs I made last week.

Happy Hunting~

Tea-Stained Eggs~

I was cleaning out the refrigerator today and noticed that our eggs had an expiration date of February 14, 2009....Yikes!! I don't like to use milk past the date much less eggs, so just as I was going to put them in the trash can I thought...What can I do with the shells instead of throwing them out? At first I thought about crushing the shells and using them for a project, then the light bulb turned on and it hit me. With Spring and Easter coming up, the egg shells would look lovely dyed....tea-stained. With all the dried grass and weeds I made the birds nest too.
I surprised myself! Look how adorable they turned out.
This is a no-brainer but I thought I'd share how I accomplished the tea-stained eggs~
All you'll need are some empty egg shells, tea bags, and boiling water~I left my egg shells in the tea for about 25-30 minutes~
You can leave yours more or less, depending on the shade of cream, taupe, or brown you want~


I love the final look of all shades of cream and brown eggs~

Have a Fabulous Friday~
