DIY: Succulents in Vintage Egg Cups

I got inspired by this idea over at Roy Joy and decided to put a vintage twist on it using vintage egg cups!

I scoured ebay, etsy, and thrift strores for vintage egg cups, and eventually ended up with a set of vintage hobnail milk glass egg cups and a set of vintage Japanese tea cups.

Next, I collected a variety of small succulents. Finally, I hit the farmer's market for extra pretty eggs and then.... voila! A few succulents for Easter, with an awesome vintage twist.

DIY Holidays: Vintage Silk Tie Dyed Easter Eggs

Easter is next week, and I have always loved this project where you can dye easter eggs using old vintage silk ties.


All you need are some 100% silk ties (your local thrift store should have a bevy in fun patterns) and some white vinegar. Full instructions found here. (Of course, Martha Stewart featured it first).




Aren't the finished products wonderful?
