VINTAGE EASTER EGG - DIY shabby chic lace decor

I am not really doing DIY posts on Orsa Maggiore Vintage, but - if you know me it won't be a surprise for you - besides my vintage obsession I am pretty crafty as well

This year magically I've managed to decorate some Easter eggs in time and they are soooo pretty that I decided to write a short tutorial for you out there - maybe you are hunting for vintage Easter decor inspiration these days

If you would like to create similar shabby chic Easter eggs, after the jump you can find the detailed process of "naturally dyed eggs decorated with lace and kitchen twine"

VINTAGE HOLIDAYS - Easter floral / geometric decor

I love to decorate our home for Easter, finally I can put fresh flowers everywhere and I am craving for a few new colourful, bright decoration to freshen things up a bit

Also "Easter egg hunt" was the biggest fun ever thanks to my beloved creative Mom, can't wait to do the same with my little ones

Following this season's trends everything gets floral or geometric/chevron and never forget about our vintage addiction...

VINTAGE HOLIDAYS - Red and Pink Vintage Valentine's Party

As I mentioned before, we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, but this time we happened to have some friends over so I couldn't resist to make the buffet table red and pink
I wanted to take it really easy so no hearts and cheesy messages just a lot of red and pink food and as much vintage and retro china and silverware as possible ;) The keyword would be mix and match I guess...
