Happy Easter my Bunnies. And on this special day Mum will give you a tour of her most splendid egg collection: some inherited, some collected, some found.

Easter Penguins - they're not so popular as Easter Bunnies because their Easter Eggs taste like fish (as Brian and Richard Know).

  1. Hello Toot. I saw a photo of you at your stall on Junkaholique's blog with - your basket of fishes.
    It immediately struck me how great it would be if you also had the (biblical) loaves to go with the fishes - made in your own inimitable manner of stuffed printed cloth. And then maybe also, big stuffed cheeses (complete with printed mouse holes), bright red tomatoes,cabbages, beautiful big juicy green apples and so on... I think they'd sell a bomb too with all the youngy mummys roundabouts there - good luck!

  2. oh wow, these are wonderful! And educational - I knew that chickens and penguins came from eggs, but I had no idea that pigs were hatched from eggs too!

  4. Thank you Anon! You're obviously a wholesome being - the only similar suggestions I've had so far have been chips to go with them. Glad you like them though.

  6. Oh nostalgia... I have that same little red tea-set, inherited from my Grandma. It came as part of a toy caravan my grandpa made me, which Grandma kitted out with dolls furniture and trossel. Next time I go home I'll take a picture of the whole thing. x
