Good old Easter egg hunt at the play group this morning- both kiddos snaffled lots of chocolate and ran off lots of energy!
A lovely parcel from Nicky at Raggle Taggle Hawker to open- I will show you the contents later in the week but in the meantime please check out Nicky's Etsy shop. If you like the same sort of retro stuff as me you will just die when you see the amazing stuff Nicky has- and all at a very fair price. She is super nice too.
Sadly as predicted the weather has turned to snow and sleet here today, but despite that we managed a wee walk in the woods and gathered lots of spring greenery and flowers! Bluebells I love- I just wish they lasted longer indoors. I think they are just trying to tell me- 'we look better wild!'.
And yes that is a vase made out of an old Calpol bottle! The boy decided to hand craft that for me! A scrap of materiel glued onto the bottle.
The boy and I decorated a twig with wee Easter eggs that believe it or not came from Poundland! We haven't done so much Easter decorating before but well the kids love doing and making so we gave it a go. Easter bonnet's are in production but the bubba's habit of eating the glue stick is slowing down proceedings!!
Oh and I made an Eve's pudding- easy and yummy- recipe from here. This is more or less the way my Mum made it when we were wee.
Hope you are all having a lovely week, Jo xx

ReplyDeleteQuick question for you - I'm coming to Glasgow in June, can you recommend some nice vintage shops for me to visit? x
Hi Jen- thanks for your comment- I will send you a wee email. Need to think on that one and perhaps rope in a friends advice too!Jxx
DeleteAww, the flowers are tremendous. I love a bunch of wild flowers any day.
