A touch of Easter at home ...


Our conservatory sideboard is well used and it has had the Royal Albert Old Country Roses on it with Mother's day / Mothering Sunday in the UK. 

However, Easter is early this year, at the start of April & having a free morning, I decided it is time to change for the Easter things we will use.  These are some previous ones ...

I admit to not having many Easter plates etc but supplement the few bunny ones with the cream ones by Spode that are used all the time at home. 

The bowl & jug were birthday presents more than a decade ago from Ms M, my sister in law & they are used & enjoyed. 

The pattern is called 'Running hares' by John Atkinson of Bell Pottery in Oxfordshire and is perfect. 

The rabbit side plates & jars are just from Dunelm a few years ago, a useful size from the high street shop that go well with the bowl & jug. 






The glass bunny bowl & two little dishes were bought in Graaff Reinet in the Karoo on a visit several years ago. 

The glass bowl is by the talented Karoo glass artist Marguerite Beneke . 

I visited her studio in Aberdeen, Karoo, South Africa while out with family. 

I have several of her painted tiles too with iconic Karoo scenes. The little bowl will hold some tiny chocolate eggs to nibble on. 






I bought these two cute bunny art works in Riga, Latvia some years back when I visited. 

As soon as I saw them, I knew they would be perfect at home where we had two lionhead house rabbits.

I will make a cake, probably a Victoria Sponge cake for the cake stand on Easter Sunday & decorate it will little chocolate eggs. It is my favourite cake because it is not too rich & is nicest when eaten on the day it is baked. 

I'm sure everyone is getting ready for Easter too because the schools will soon be on holiday & the little ones will be keen to turn their thoughts to chocolate eggs. 

Thank you for stopping by, it is always appreciated.
