Au Naturale

I have always been the boxed dye type of person when it comes to Easter Egg dying...but this year I decided to show IV a different way to color eggs.

A few months ago my Mom got me a subscription to Better Homes and Garden...which I love! I saw an article about "staining" eggs: using coffee, tea, red wine, beets, cabbage, blueberries, you name it. Just add some hot water and a teaspoon of vinegar.

I went with what I had:

Coffee, tea, beets, red wine, blueberries, and cabbage.

I love the way the turned out...I don't think I'll ever buy another boxed dye kit again!
