Plants/Candles in Egg Shells.... choice of the Season:)

This week I got my hands Spring crafty with egg shells. Yes it is a old idea but sure a creative twist for the season. Turned the empty egg shells into home for plants & candles. Quick & easy to make and it could be a fun project for children as well. Children can go, go green this Spring, get their tiny fingers dirty & crafty by filling soil to the shell, for plants. Planting in egg shell can be a personal touch project for kids while they huddle the shells and place in their room window ledge & corners of the home. Also plants and candles in the shell can be best gift for the season. Children can try egg shell plants while the elders can go with candle making.

A tea setting near the bay window with egg shell candles & plant gave a Spring look for the evening tea.

How to make egg shell candle:
Break the top portion of the shell and empty the egg. Wash and dry the shell. Place the wick in the middle by hanging it properly. You can reuse non usable candles at home by heating it in a vessel and pour the liquid into the shells with  help of a funnel. Cool it till it get set. For scented candles lemon grass oil, pepper-mint oil, vanilla essence or any other perfumed oil can be added while heating.

  1. Great post. I got so sucked in looking at the beautiful photos that I had to go back to the beginning to read the words. Your egg shell crafts are so cute. I will have to give it a try. I have the same egg holder but have never thought to use it as table decor, only when I am baking. What a great idea. I have been picking up egg cups and I have not yet used them but they will be cute holding the candles as well. Inspiring post.

  4. What a cool idea!!! I’ve never heard of doing any of this with egg shells. I must have been living under a rock!!! It’s a creative way to add candlelight to a vignette or to cultivate tiny living plants...just super cool! I’ll have to ask my sister if she has ever heard of this. She does a lot of crafting

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M
