EASTER EGG COLORING - naturally

There is something about colored Easter eggs that makes me smile. Maybe it satisfies my inner child. Mostly, it just isn't something you see every day. And you can't buy them! They are a labor of love. Colored eggs are special and add a festive touch to your home this time of year. Colored eggs are also a great symbol when creating an altar for Ostara.

Here are a few ways you can have colored eggs, dyed naturally!

For bright YELLOW to orangish colored eggs:

Place eggs in a pot with yellow onion skins, cover with water. Boil 10 minutes. The eggs will turn darker the longer you leave them in the onion skin water.

For LAVENDER colored eggs:

Boil eggs with a package of frozen blueberries for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Let the eggs stand in the blueberries overnight for a darker color.

For PINK colored eggs:

Boil eggs with a package of frozen raspberries for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Let the eggs stand in the raspberries overnight for a darker color.

For BLUE colored eggs:

Boil some red cabbage, remove leaves from the water. Let cool. Boil eggs in separate pot. Set the boiled eggs in the cold cabbage water overnight in the refrigerator. 

David and I wish you a Happy Springtime that turns out EGGS-actly the way you wish for it to!

HAPPY OSTARA!
