Easter Blue Eggs





"BLUE" Easter Eggs

I know this is a bit late for some of you......but being of Ukrainian background I celebrate Easter according to the Orthodox Julian Calendar.
Every year growing up my family would colour a few dozen eggs........then all week we would have eggs and eggs but most of all my favourite were the  egg salad sandwiches. Then for a few weeks we couldn't look at hard-boiled eggs.

Here I'm showing some BLUES which I'm linking to "BLUE MONDAY" at

Sometimes I use food colouring to colour my eggs...this year I bought an Easter egg colouring kit. (Paas).
This blue looks dark in the glass but the eggs came out a very gorgeous turquoise blue.

















Yummmmm...these were my favourite BLUE eggs, chocolate. See the pretty BLUE bow the Bunny has in the background.


Thanks for stopping by.....and have a great "BLUE MONDAY"!!!!!!

    Hi Erica,
    Your eggs are so pretty and turquoise blue is my absolute favourite shade of blue! Sounds like you have some lovely traditions. I love the blue and whites in your header too! Thanks for sharing and have a delightful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Very pretty blue eggs, this was a big deal for us to do too when my kids were little. I saw on Pinterst the other day how to use Kool-aid as a dye--no vinegar needed. Seemed pretty neat.
    Happy blue Monday

    Ooo, your blue eggs are even prettier than mine. I think I don't leave mine in the dye long enough.

    Happy Blue Monday, Irene.
