It seems that ever since we moved from the States I have wanted to celebrate every holiday with some extra “umph”.  We did the full-on Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day, we got a real Christmas tree (albeit small) and plan on having one again next year.  And now it’s Easter time.  Bring on the pastels, bunnies, and deviled eggs!  

It’s officially Spring and we only have eight more days left until Easter Sunday, so I thought it was appropriate to spend this morning shoping for pastels and Easter goodies.  I met up with some girlfriends early this morning and drove out to this place called Euro Flora, which is a massive, 3-story have-it-all craft store.  Well ok not everything – surprisingly there was not a bunny was in sight!  I know, I couldn’t believe it either.  But there were plenty of EGGS.  

Two hours and a few hundred lira later, I felt I was pretty stocked up with Easter goods.  So then I came home to have a little craft day and made my Easter / Spring decorations.  Here are some of my creations that I must say I am quite proud of.  :) 

Happy Easter egg hunting to everyone!  And hope you all enjoy your pastels this Spring as much as I am.
