Candle Sconce I found at a thrift shop, just painted it black distressed it and stenciled a star. Added a grungy candle and berries. And it is all primmed up.

My T2T isn't anything big but it's something, I guess. I took the smaller Easter eggs that I found in the shed from years ago and painted them to look like bird eggs. Again, I just used paint I had around here in the colors I wanted, whether is was craft paint or wall paint. The blue ones were sponged with a layer of cream and then the layer of the blue and the cream have about three layers of just the cream. I then speckled them using an old toothbrush that I have been using for this purpose for years now. The blue are speckled with black, cream with brown. The eggs are laying on a bed of raffia in a grain sifter box that I bought at an antique store for $3. I made up the stitched tag using pieces of fabric from an old sheet. I have been using that old sheet for anything I need muslin for!
The eggs I used were already blue and I just tossed them in an old birds nest that I found at my in-laws about 6 years ago. It was up in their shed attached to their ladder and the robin had abandoned it. DS has a collection of a few birds nest that he found around last summer. One from our yard that fell out of the tree and two from my Dad's house!





Ok here is mine.. I had an old grubby candle I purchased at the dollar store a few years ago.. it got all faded and lost it's scent. Instead of throwing this one away or adding it to my other candles to melt down for wax to dip things in, I decided to give this one " new life" ....



I melted a bunch of my old candles in my crock pot that I use for only this purpose. I took the candle ,dipped it into the melted wax, then rolled it around in some cinnamon on a piece of tin foil. You can smoothe the cinnamon over it more. I dipped it and rolled it in the cinnamon a few times. I had a few flicker tea lights so I stuck that into the area of the candle where the wick was. It just so happened to be the perfect size opening ! Voila !!
