The Joy Of Easter

The Joy Of Easter

Easter is one of my favorite celebrations, a new awakening for mankind and nature and a celebration of life.
In Austria, it marks the beginning of springtime as well.
Even now that I live in the southern hemisphere and we are approaching the end of summer I still associate it, curiously enough, with springtime.

As they say: Old habits die hard :)

I love to bring this spirit of joy and celebration to our home and would like to share these pictures with you.
It was not easy to find a special dye  for Easter eggs, so in the end, after looking in many shops and supermarkets, I had to boil the eggs and simply paint them afterwards with food dye and not dye them during boiling as usual.

This is why the coloring is a bit irregular but it adds a little bit of personality to it, don't you think? :)

Most of my adornments miraculously survived the transport from Italy to Peru, so I was able to arrange a little easter tree.

Sadly, some of the most precious adornments, which were hand-painted  by my grandmother, didn't make it.
Here is one of the "survivors"

And here is one of the less fortunate ones

Anyhow, on Sunday we will enjoy a nice Easter Brunch "Al Fresco" with still warm weather and (hopefully) sunshine.

We will be enjoying these cupcakes we found at a local pastry shop, which are all handmade and really cute.

Only this little Bunny needs a bit of a cheer up :)

So, my dear friends, I wish you all a happy easter and a wonderful celebration with your loved ones!

See you next Tuesday!
