Silver Egg

We have had a nice Easter weekend with lots of chocolate and time spent with each other. Every year we seem to have lots of plans, but this year we have only done things we have felt like on the day. Sleep-ins almost every morning, long walks in Kings Park and in the Perth Hills. We have cooked dinner for the family and hours have been spent on skype with family from Sweden. I have also taken time to practise yoga and of course had way too much chocolate. To be honest, I’m enjoying the last few right now that has been hidden in this silver egg from Day Birger & Mikkelsen. My dear friend Josefin bought this egg for me a few years ago and I always think of her when I bring it out for Easter ♥

Glad Påsk

Lovely Easter holiday! This is the time for Swedish kids to dress up as påskkärringar (Easter witches) in headscarves and paint their cheeks red with lots of freckles, before they go on their candy hunt. I remember knocking on every neighbors door on our street and in exchange of giving them a drawing we had made earlier or singing a song for them, they would give us Easter treats. Later that night, according to the tradition, we all pretended we would fly to “Blåkulla” (The Blue Mountain) for a big party with all of the other Easter witches. Ohh good old memories!
