Easter Blues

When my children were young, it was a tradition in the house to dye Easter eggs on Good Friday. Now that they're grown with families of their own, I decided I would quickly dye a dozen for the center of the table for Easter dinner. Wanting to keep it simple, I used food coloring from the cupboard and a little vinegar. I'm not sure what I did right or wrong but I really liked the tie dye look that they took on.

In trying to make them look like speckled eggs I spattered on a little acrylic paint.

 

A few yellow tulips from the grocery store and my Easter centerpiece was complete.

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

Virginia/DC Vacation - Harrisonburg

While staying in Harrisonburg we enjoyed the warm hospitality of my daughter's friend, Megan.  Fantastic accommodations in the middle of historic downtown.  Megan lives in a loft, not the type of loft created by architects and designers, but a beautiful loft above the bicycle shop.

My morning coffee was from down the lane at the bakery

And was enjoyed behind the bicycle shop at the bridge over Black's Run

Back inside the loft

The eclectic decorating style that makes her place so charming

A table for two in the morning light

Our last morning started with a trip to the market

Where fresh vegetables were sold

And breakfast was served on the back of a Malibu
