It's always been a bit of a tradition in my family's house to make a big deal out of Easter time. When I was growing up Mum would make us hunt for eggs with a special map & would always have some special creative arrangement on the table (a different one every year) whether it be a huge basket with flowers with eggs in them, a cloche dome with eggs under it or a huge grassed pot with tiny eggs nestled in the grass!
There was always evidence of the Easter Bunny having been - with a half bitten carrot or a little footprint made out of talcum powder. What I particularly loved and cherished is Mum's beautiful choice of eggs, pretty iced flowers decorated on one of my eggs one year- looking more like an exquisite cake, a personalised egg another year in a ceramic box...and one Easter, a box of eggs in a exquisite collectable bunny tin...those little details I greeted with wonderment and I hope to bring the talcum powdered bunny rabbit feet into our house this year too..am going to the Royal Arcade here in Melbourne to
