Drizzly Easter Sunday

 

I hope all of you had a lovely Easter Sunday.  We dyed eggs and had a smallish Easter egg hunt for my daughter and the neighbor's girl who is the same age.  The girls donned strands of Mardi Gras beads courtesy of an uncle who lives in Louisiana, adding a bit of color to the gray, drizzly day.  Much cuteness ensued, as you can imagine. 

I haven't dyed eggs since I was a little girl, and so it was kind of a rude awakening.  It's harder than you might think to get even, saturated color, let alone any sort of design incorporated into the mix!  So rather than bore you with pictures of my sad eggs (I've already promised myself next year will be better.  I'm going to do research, read some Martha Stewart books, and generally become an egg-dying expert over the next year), I thought I'd share a charming Etsy shop I recently found.  It's called The Handwork Group, and she sells dolls, tiny felted animals and lovely Ukranian Easter eggs.  The dolls and animals follow a Waldorf aesthetic (simple designs that allow children the most freedom in play and imagination), and are just adorable in every way.  Here are a few of my favorites from her shop....
