{easter tree}
They are from Prague and they make me very happy.
P.S. We Americans have nothing on Europeans when it comes to Easter. They do it right. In Prague they have special street markets with fun goods (wooden tulips and handpainted eggs!) and seasonal treats like grilled dough for at least a month leading up to it. In Greece they have rabble rousing candle lit parades through the streets at midnight and gorgeous crimson eggs. We need to get on this, people.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
What beautiful eggs. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeletebeautiful - I love the stacked cups in the background too
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy Easter to you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend with lots of delicious food!
ReplyDeleteyour little eggs are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until recently that I came across Easter trees, but I am in love with them now. Yours is adorable, and those eggs, so original!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and D!! Enjoy! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese are so many beautiful things in this image, the incredibly detailed eggs, your cake stand and the tea cups! *sighs* So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to get on the band wagon for hyping up the funness factor of Easter here :)
it's so true - one of my college roommates came from a big russian orthodox family, and their brunches knocked it out of the park every year (and instilled in me a dangerous affection for zubrowka). i love your tree - happy weekend to you as well, lady!
ReplyDeleteGrilled dough!? That sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThose eggs are just beautiful--such incredibly detail. Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Such a cute idea!! May have to do something like this next year!
ReplyDeleteI love that cake stand (and cups) in the background. That shade of green is fabulous!
Oh my. Those eggs are fantastic! Approximately a million times better than those weak pastel numbers.
ReplyDeletewe bought eggs in praha as well! love them! we put them on the christmas tree. never even thought about an easter tree. i will admire yours for now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to decorate for this holiday... And change it out for the others.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I are so anxious to make it over to Prague. The first time I was in Europe, our Praque plans fell through due to the rail being underwater. Haven't quite made it back yet. Patiently waiting...
Happy EASTER weekend!
all of these years i thought we had it good with cadbury eggs and chocolate bunnies. maybe europe is in my future!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is adorable! I'm surprised that more isn't done in the US for Easter, considering we've commercialized the crap out of every other holiday! Haha. I will be celebrating with a lovely little brunch and a night at the Britney Spears concert. YESSS. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! xo
What a great idea! Hope you have a very happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteAnd I so agree with you about Easter in Europe. I lived in Spain during this time and they had parades through the street and festivals. It was an amazing experience!
I love your little Easter tree.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about Americans not doing it right. Vienna has stores and stores of beautiful Easter eggs all year round.
you are simply lovely. I adore your blog.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I love the tea cups piled high in the background. Grilled dough sounds yummy - is it anything like English fried bread? (I love that!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Clever and fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! Such beautiful eggs, and I also agree that Easter is so much better in Europe. Love the tree idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tree for yor Easter treasures. On my list for next year! Have a wonderful Easter and weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorge! I want you to put that cake stand in as many photos as possible. I drool every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteI agree! We die eggs, have a massive egg hunt that involves the entire family no matter their age and bake hot cross buns but really thats it. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely. looove it!
ReplyDeletehope you're having a great weekend ... happy easter!
You're so right...we so do need to step it up on the Easter festivities! By the way, what beautiful eggs. Where can I get some?
ReplyDeleteI love these brightly colored eggs. How pretty are the little details!
ReplyDeleteum, if I had this easter tree I'm pretty sure it would stay up year round!
ReplyDeleteoh my these are so fun!
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to travel to Europe during the Easter season one of these years! Easter in America is totally lacking...anything involving plastic grass has some serious issues...
ReplyDeletei covet the green cake plate in the background...how lovely. is it vintage?
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful decorated eggs - glad you had a nice easter break and your little Easter tree is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Easter is one of my favorite holidays and I wish people were more into it. I love Easter because its a holiday about food and crafting! Lucky for me, my friends tolerate me planning semi extravagant easter soirees complete with egg decorating sessions.
