Our Easter Tree

When I was little we used to have an Easter tree, Mum would take us for a walk in the woods and we'd get some thin tree branches which she would put in a vase and hang little things off, it was lovely and always looked so pretty :)

This year I decided I'd do the same with my girls :)

So here is ours 


I thought we'd start small :)
we had a lovely craft day and made the little ceramic hanging eggs :)


I rolled out the clay and let the kids loose with the stamps :)
they loved it! and then we used our little egg cutter to cut them out


I should have got more organised and made some for my shop :( 
definitely next year!

I also found some pretty little decorations from etsy 


These sweet little flowers were crocheted by the talented Twinkknits 


These cute little paper birds are all the way from America from Up the attic stairs

The children are thrilled with the tree


I've told them the Easter Bunny will be really happy with it and leave them special eggs :)


Next year we'll go a bit bigger :)



But maybe not this big :)
This beautiful tree is from Germany where the tradition originated, find out more about this tree and the tradition in this lovely blog
