Colored Eggs and Easter Bunnies
¸.•´¸.•❤️*¨)
(¸.•´❤️ (¸.•´ ❤️ Enjoy your day!
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

OOOooooooOOOOooooo... that bread with the egg is so beautiful.
Keep the camera/phone in your pocket so you can snap some of the new ones before the critters get into them again.... LOL
The Easter Bread is gone, gone, gone... But, it was good! That is because it is a sweet bread and the braids came out well this year. If you can't do your hair, you are in trouble!
I love that the Italian Easter Bread has a purpose in life. :)) It is symbolic in the shape of the bread. The bread is braided and usually made into a circle to symbolize the crown Jesus wore on the cross. There is also the fact that the bread is braided with three pieces that symbolize the Holy Trinity. (Father, Son and Holy Ghost)
Right now, in the middle of making vertical carrot cake. :) For dessert later, much later. It is only 6 pm....
I do love the Easter Bread and we sometimes will make another version of it, but, without the colored eggs in it. I like it at Easter as it is one of those silly traditions we have.
I like how those eggs look . They look like psychodelic eggs to me 😂
They are tie-dyed! I love them and yes, a little psychedelic! :)) The Easter Bread is the sweet type, although, I am a huge fan of the savory type of bread.

Happy Easter @dswigle 🐣🐥😁☀️
Lovely memories that you sometimes smell her scent. Yes, that happens… I experienced something similar.
Enjoy baking!
Isn't that so cool @littlebee4!! It does happen and it really took me by surprise the first time it happened. So very real!
It has been a wonderful baking experience and I hope that it tastes as good as it looks! :)
Thank you for stopping by! Happy Easter! ❤️
That’s great to hear 😊
Bon appetite @dswigle, I’m sure it will taste great.
You are welcome.
Thanks a lot. 🐣🐥🐣🐥🐣🐥😁☀️☀️👋🏻
XOXO

happy easter @dswigle ,
Happy Easter, Mick!! What a lovely way to bring over Easter! Thank you so much and I hope you had a lovely day as well!
Meow! Happy Easter!
How I love this, I think it's the truest compliment you can get...
Your Italian Easter bread Looks so good, I'm seeing this bread with the colored egg incorporated for the first time, it's perfect for Easter.
The vintage postcard also brings back memories of my childhood and teenage years when it was the only way to show love to those who lived far away. This vintage postcard you show us I love and it reminds me of my collection from long ago. Unfortunately, I lost it in a fire along with most of my old family photos.
The colored eggs are a bit psychedelic, as were my shirts in my youth when I used to dye them myself (I couldn't buy them). As you know, you are one step ( week) ahead of me, I am going to color the eggs on Saturday and I am looking forward to it.
Surely today you are together with all your beautiful family and spending one of the most beautiful days of the year, I wish you all a Happy Easter!
It has definitely been a family day - a family weekend, from Good Friday to Easter Monday. not even time to do much with #MarketFriday, but, I tried to upvote and repost. Comments Monday night maybe? How terrible of me!
I love everything about the Easter Bread! I love that the Italian Easter Bread has a purpose in life. :)) It is symbolic in the shape of the bread. The bread is braided and usually made into a circle to symbolize the crown Jesus wore on the cross. There is also the fact that the bread is braided with three pieces that symbolize the Holy Trinity. (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) That of course is the Catholic in me. :) (actually my mother)
I tie-dyed shirts too! Some of us girls did a few different pieces. Tie-dye has never gone out of style! My kids do it. I tell them they are thieves of the 60's and 70's! They love a lot of the retro clothing that not even I was around for! LOL I am so sorry about the fire that took so many memories away from you. We are one week ahead of you and I look forward to seeing your eggs. I love painting them and never miss a year. :)
I had my Easter Bread and thought of my Grandma Cundari today. God rest her beautiful soul. ❤️ Thank you for the wonderful wishes, Dan! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
It's a family celebration, of course. The same will happen in our house.
And in Orthodoxy, there is special Easter bread, but it is not as beautiful and symbolic as the one you have shown.
The 60's and 70's were interesting years, weren't they? Especially since they were our teenage years.
A bright spot of my adolescence was the American Library in Bucharest! It was an island of light, beauty, and information in a dark, dirty city where everything was censored, much like it is now in Russia. I used to go to the library every week, even though I knew it was not good and that I was being watched by the Securitate (the repressive police of the communists)... Fortunately, I was fine, but if society developed into more repressive communism, it was enough to put me in prison.
At the library I saw books about T-shirt dyeing methods, that was my inspiration.
Happy Easter to you! May there be peace and joy in the world!
Happy Easter Olga! I hope you had a wonderful celebration! ❤️
Happy Easter from the Czech Republic! :)
Happy Easter to you and Tammy! What beautiful eggs!!! Did you color them? I love the wooden basket that holds them too!
I hope you are having a great time at home.💙
The eggs are dyed with onion skins, it´s the traditional way of coloring them :) Yeah, got to spend some nice family time here. I hope you did too :)
My grandparents did the onion skins! The older generation used all natural things to make the colors. They are gorgeous!
I did have a wonderful family day. I am glad that you did too.
Awesome :) Yeah, we use the onion skins. To get those leafy silhouettes, you spread actual leaves around the eggs and put the eggs into a stocking so that the leaves stay in the desired position. Then you just boil it for some 10 minutes and there you go :)
They are stunning! Never change. It is so beautiful and so very unique.
Thank you for your kind words and for the prize, I didn´t even realize it was a competition :) I will tell my mum that there is a fan of her Easter Eggs in the US, she will be happy to hear that :D Thanks again, have a lovely day. Greetings from Krakow! (back to Poland already)
The words written by Mrs. @dswigle really comforted me, thank you very much.
I am really glad to hear that. I hope you have had a wonderful weekend!
Alright, thank you very much
The donuts look so yummy. I hope you have a good day ahead of you.
Thank you. It is actually bread, with Easter Eggs braided into it. I did have a great day, thank you.
Merry Easter dear.
Happy Easter, Sam! @mcsamm I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
Yes that is the bittersweet part about the holidays. My daughter was asking why we have no one out. Well the sad fact is we used to have a houseful when she was a little girl, but they have all passed now. That is what 20 years will do I guess.
Time to make new memories! I can see housefuls once again!
You make the nummiest looking snacks and foods! Yum! I don't know how you find the time to do it all. I don't think you sleep.
Sleep? Do you get to sleep? How dare you cheat!
Thank you! That is such a nice compliment. ;)
