High Days and Holidays!

Or rather "Hi" days and Holidays!
I do relish Bank Holidays don't you?
I love to devote them to spending time with family and friends, cooking special celebratory meals and spoiling the chicklets with chocolates and other pretties.
Here for your delectation and delight are some snippets from our Eastery celebrations with some of our favourite people, all gift wrapped in Eastery Flora Prints x
Magpie simply had to have a Liberty print birdy







Whilst elsewhere "Lola," (Goddess of cake) was preparing this magnificent creation with her boys who decorated it beautifully.



I am pleased to report she also likes to create Easter tableau, so good to know I am not alone!


And then just to demonstrate her true Goddess status she calmly served us cake whilst agreeing to unexpected visitors that very evening which would involve much scrabbling of provisions and extra beds to be made up.
You're my hero Lola!





Meanwhile in the world of beloved God~Daughter a splendid Birthday was had in which new outfits were purchased and teddy bears were built!


And then if that wasn't enough all this was rounded off by a visit from the Easter Bunny.
Let the feasting begin!


Thank heavens there were a few of us adults standing by to supervise the chocolate munching. What's that?
No silly! that's not chocolate above my mouth it's a beauty spot!


My lovely Ludo and the youngest of her chicklets



Back down the Lane things were taking an artistic turn.
Every now and then I am reminded how remarkable Mr.Lane is and this is one of those occasions.
Arriving home from a morning Easter Egg delivery I was presented with this egg~box


Hmm, not very remarkable at all, in fact are you expecting me to down tools and rustle you up breakfast?
Hmm, feeling less than impressed.
And then I opened the box




You see Mr.Lane is in fact an artistic genius and in all the every day comings and goings I do tend to forget this from time to time.





I am especially fond of the Easter Cat and his friend the prehistoric forerunner of the chicken.
Thank you Mr.Lane, you're the best.



At last the garden is unfurling, the helebores are still flowering and their are more flowers than ever, I love them.


And as for my earlier prediction of welly boots being the must have for this Easter, I really can't complain when the view from the front door involves this



No need to search for the "Crock of Gold" as we have it right here at home,

Eastery

Happy Easter!Wow, where has the time gone?
I have been busy busy organising end of year accounts and other such dull enterprises, which has the same effect on me! That is to say makes me feel dull and grey!
So am very happy to wake up to Easter, hooray!

perfect excuse to celebrate all things bunny rabbit related and spend a few happy hours bringing spring inside courtesy of pussy willow, spring flowers, moss and anything else pretty that catches my eye.


I love this cake all drenched in icing sugar and that cake stand!

Next up is to boil some eggs for breakfast and make the table look pretty....
I am also holding my breath in anticipation of a certain Doctor's re-appearance this weekend



I am quite taken by Matt Smith!



And as it is British Summertime at last I expect I shall be getting quite a lot of wear out of these!


Happy Easter
