Last year I did not have an Ostara altar because I just did not have the space or time, so this year I wanted to go all out and make the prettiest altar I could. Partly because I love the spring/Easter season, and partly because I cannot wait for spring to come again. Despite being hit by quite a harsh winter, the snow where I am is melting slowly but surely, the sun is getting stronger and longer by the day, and there is a definite scent of spring in the air. So off to Michael's craft store I went, and I have to agree with a certain fellow blogger and vlogger that Michael's is more than deserving of the title "un-official witchy store". I could honestly go mad looking at all the craft supplies in that store and have an imagination meltdown thinking of all the lovely things I could make. And no, I am not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with them. I do, however, spend an unholy amount of money each time I go there, but that is neither here nor there.
Anyways, aside from the craft items they do carry seasonal items. All the Easter items were out, making things incredibly difficult to choose from, but I finally picked out a cute little mercury-glass votive candle holder with little birds on it, and a super adorable egg/candy holder dish with the sweetest little rabbit in the middle. I loved that it had five spaces on the dish, that way I can use it in place of a pentacle on the Sabbat. Hurray for me! I also found these fuzzy fabric eggs with a string to hang up, so I may place those on the fake flowers in my altar vase, like an Ostara tree if you will.
Not a big haul, but I have plenty of time to find other things to add to my altar. If I find wooden eggs I will certainly paint and lacquer them! That way I have Ostara egg decorations for many years to come. That would be very nice indeed.
