Easter treats
I know the actual meaning of Easter is more to do with going to church (which I’ll be honest, isn’t half as appealing since Father Bob is no longer at St. Peter and Paul’s) and dying/painting boiled eggs (on my Russian Orthodox, Polish side). But it is hard to avoid the saturation of bunnies, bright and colourful packaged little chocolates and as my son constantly points out at the front of major grocery chain stores (at child eye-height no less!) giant chocolate dinosaur eggs with enclosed Pixar character toys (wtf?!)

Giving in to the ‘spirit’ of the season, here are few of my top finds to get your home into the spirit too.
{Uprisings artwork by Kozyndan. Available at Outre Gallery}
{Iconic and maybe a bit expensive for a once-a-year occasion, Moooi’s Rabbit Lamp by Front. Pretty sure this baby’s hanging around all year!}
{Easter Bunnies digital print by Honey Cup}
{Baxter artwork by Emma Gale, available at Fenton & Fenton}
{Do some old-school reading with the kids or just for your own nostalgia’s sake. Miffy books by Dick Bruna, available online}
After all that bunny goodness, I’m switching sides. (Hypocrite?)
Want to discourage the glorification of an invasive, feral, environmental pest (here in Australia at least) and still get your chocolate fix? Try the Aussie Bilby instead - twice as cute and twice as yummy (does that sound wrong?) While we’re on it, check out the Foundation for Rabbit Free Australia, for more info.

{If you have to have that chocolate fix, why not do it in style! Haigh’s Dark Chocolate Honeycomb egg in its stylish gift box}
Have a great Easter next week, however you celebrate it!
