  2. Dear Mariette, you have a spectacular collection of Easter ornaments, and they are a delight to see. The porcelain egg vases really took my eye, as I have never seen anything like them before. Wonderful! The rosebud Pelargonium is such a pretty plant, and perfect for the Easter season. Happy Easter to you.

    1. Dearest Patricia,
      Thank you and with us at that time frequently traveling to Europe for work and such, it was easy to carry such fine things back in our suitcases. My sister Diny in The Netherlands had ordered those for me and kept them till we came to pick them up.
      Rosebud Pelargonium looks like REAL roses in miniature! Always loved them.
      Again, Happy Easter to you and yours!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  3. Liebe Mariette,
    endlich nach langer Zeit schaffe ich es einmal wieder ins Bloggerland. Und sehe gleich so wundervolle österliche Dinge bei Dir! Wir haben noch gar nichts geschmückt. Ich bin viel unterwegs und wenn ich zuhause bin, liegen andere Arbeiten an, vor allem im Garten derzeit - es sind "Millionen" von Ahorn-Sämlingen zu entfernen, der schwere tonig-lehmige Boden ist sehr schwer zu bearbeiten, der Kompost muß verteilt werden ... an Ostern natürlich nicht, aber nächste Woche geht es weiter, heute vielleicht auch noch ein wenig. Auch wenn wir Ostern keinen Besuch bekommen, geht es danach schon bald wieder los zu Kindern und Enkeln.

    Dir und Deinem Mann wünsche ich nun Gesegnete Ostern und alles Liebe
    und hoffe, auf bald wieder
    Sara

    1. Liebe Sara,
      Ja, ich habe auch überhaupt keine österliche Dinge im Haus, du kannst bei Dir ja lesen weswegen. Aber trotz wollte ich einen Post darüber machen da wir es in dieser Zeit ja mehr als sonst nötig haben in die ganze Welt. Gartenarbeit hört ja nie auf!
      Genießt das Reisen zum Sohn und Enkeln und alle ein recht schönes Ostern!
      Liebe Grüße,
      Mariette

  5. Hello Mariette and Pieter, Happy Easter! I knew you would have just the right touches to make a festive table. I love the colors on those Villeroy & Boch eggs. Here, there are no real eggs, and apparently none expected. The supermarkets have even shut down the egg-selling areas and are stocking the space with other merchandise.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Thank you and yes, I've used to set a nice Easter Table for guests but that is already years ago...
      In the Far East it is not the same as in the Western world and maybe the egg thing is a bit overdone.
      Hugs,

  19. I hope you had a lovely Easter, Maristella. Thank you for sharing the link to your church choir. That's a special thing to sing on Easter morning. Your white bunnies are cute, and I have one similar to it. And those bunnies in green on their bicycles are so funny.

    Have a blessed week.

  21. Liebe Mariette, ich habe jetzt wirklich deine schönen Osterdekorationen genossen... und stell dir vor diese hübschen kleinen pastellfarbenen Villeroy & Boch Vasen habe ich auch. Deine beiden Hasen auf den Fahrrädern sind herrlich... liebe ich :-)) Grandios.
    Und weil ich ganz traurig bin, dass Ostern schon wieder vorbei ist, lasse ich einfach den Schmuck noch stehen und freue mich weiter daran. Liebe Grüsse zu dir von Viola

    1. Liebe Viola,
      So einen Zufall dass du die Villeroy & Boch Vasen auch hast! Ja, solche Sachen läßt man ja gerne stehen.
      Die Hasen auf den Fahrrädern stehen unten im Rose Suite das ganze Jahr durch im Flur.
      liebe Grüße,
      Mariette
