Due to concerns in the news about the effects of artificial coloring and dyes, many large companies are moving away from using these types of dyes. However, while it is becoming increasingly easier to buy food using exclusively natural dyes, solutions are still needed for many common traditions such as dying egs. Luckily, dying eggs doesn't have to be limited to the restraints of artificial colors. Many natural alternatives for dying eggs can be found either right in your pantry or at The Spice & Tea Exchange!

Spring Table

Whether it's Easter, a wedding shower or just a gathering of close friends - we love how creative you can be with your Spring table. Hester and Cook did it again with beautiful die-cut placemats featuring the egg with bunnies, cabbage and peony (package of 12 for $29). And of course, we love to pair the paper with real linens from local artist Sue Henry of Tulusa. In like a lion, out like a lamb - March is Tulusa month at Boxwood. She's hosting a block printing workshop on March 19th and we'll be featuring her products, painting walls and giving out prizes. You can also special order these amazing ombre napkins perfect for any occasion up through the week before Easter. Call or stop by 128 S Royal for more details.
