The party is Over

Eggs, hand made.

 Waiting for the real roses.
My dear friend Vera at my Easter party.

 A chokolate egg from one of my guests.
 Ranunkels.
 Porcelain chickens.
And, as we say in Sweden: Inget kalas utan kras.
Which means: Never a party without broken things.
This was real sad because my grandparents got a set of 12 coffee cups with saucers in 1909 when they married.
Then my mother inhereted them in the 1950:s.
I got them in 1980. Nothing was broken before the 30th of March this very year, when >I broke this cup.
They are from Rosenthal are called "Copenhagen".
Shame on me!!! :-(

Easter madness

A "few" of my Easter decorations *smile*.
Bringing in birch twigs and decorate them with feathers, I think, is a Scandinavian custom.
The big eggs are all made by me.
The Easter bunny is a gift from Marijke van Oiijen. She makes them and other beautiful creatures by hand.
The small shoes with feathers are my mums first shoes. She started walking in them in 1912.

Bunch of Roses

A most wonderful bunch of roses were delivered to me today.
And, they came all the way from Provence/France.
They are crispy and fresh and smell like heaven.
What more; they are handmade and of paper made by Janny
