Wow!!! That egg traditions is amazing. I love the marshmallow chocolate eggs when they are freshly made. The egg hunting in my son’s preschool often ended up like Halloween that these colorful plastic eggs are filled with low quality candies.
We all get to see the special order for Russian Emperors[emoji23][emoji23]thank you Serva! And beautiful flowers too!
Stunning pics Mdm B, love the artistic flower arrangements [emoji7]
Thank you cremel, yes these eggs are pretty amazing, melted almond hazelnut nougat inside real eggshells, imagine the washing of the eggshells and they are handmade of course. I’m sending packages to friends and I feel like the Easter bunny [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

I love those parts, too. So fun to usher in spring!
This is exactly how I feel about barenia slgs too, probably buying a small silkin wallet if I ever find one and a Carmen even if I already have plenty. I have a soft spot for barenia as you already know by now
So far, the only pieces I have in barenia are watch straps, and the pull tabs on my silk'ins!
It's so gorgeous and luxurious even in small pieces!Thank you, they are cut flowersI love relaxed tulips too and they look so pretty in old Dutch paintings. I usually put them in a cristal vase but somehow this felt better.
Planning to go to Paris in April or May, depending when my SO is ready.
Exciting about your spring trip! I think you said your SO is a K28, what leather did you choose?
Serva1, those eggs look wonderful!
I guess you have Easter fires too - they were new to me when I moved to Hamburg. Near my Kleingarten in the outskirts, the local firefighters have a big bonfire for kids in the neighboring park, with a DJ and food and beer stalls, and I can stumble back to the cabin at a reasonable hour. Otherwise I go to the river near my apartment, where people start their own much smaller bonfires. It's more adult, and neat to feel part of the community of fires running all up and down the river, but it's also later in the evening and COLD!
Apologies if this the wrong place but not being officially Hermes I didn’t know where to put this but had to show someone!My Mum likes to paint as a hobby and knowing how much I love my bags painted me this
The Birkin on the table with the baguette and cat especially made me smile!

Hi Tonimichelle, so very sweet and thoughtful of your mother! I love it, so fun and cute!
Thanks so much for sharing. I chose black chevre for my first Kelly, being a sellier and also because I love neutrals [emoji3]

Thank you FizzyWater, the Easter traditions are obviously not the same, at least yet. No bonfires in Finland, only on Midsummer and last day of August when mostly the Swedish speaking Finns in my country celebrate the Venician night, marking the end of summer and villa season (living on the countryside).The fires, usually smaller bonfires than on Midsummer’s Day, are lit near water (a lake or sea) or people burn bigger outdoor fires on their piers.
Some 20 years ago nobody celebrated Halloween here, nowadays children have Halloween parties. This year I saw for the first time a small crowd of people outside our main departmentstore celebrating Chinese New Year and 2 colourful dragons (people inside them) in shiny fabric? accompanied by drums. Very exotic in our winterland [emoji3]

How lovely of your dear Mum! My 8 year old niece also draws pictures of me, always carrying a Hermès handbag [emoji3]
Ah, Wikipedia lied to me about Finland and Easter fires! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Fire
Halloween is starting to become a thing in Germany too. It's hard for me to gauge as I'm in an apartment building, but my (also American) coworker in the suburbs says trick-or-treating is huge in his area.
The other Easter tradition here that was new to me is decorating a tree with Easter eggs during Lent. My apple tree is way too big to decorate so I hang them on a rose (which wants to be a massive hedge, but with pretty much continuous hacking away I can keep to a five-foot tree) in my garden. I inherited the set from the previous garden owners and they're faded and falling apart, so this will probably be their last year. Which is fine - there are tons of adorable sets in the stores!
I was lucky enough to be in San Francisco for Chinese New Year (and my birthday) a dozen years ago - the parade went right past my hostel and the food and fireworks were wonderful!
This is really lovely, Tomimichelle!View attachment 3989746 Apologies if this the wrong place but not being officially Hermes I didn’t know where to put this but had to show someone!

Thank you both. I’ll tell my Mum as she didn’t think it was any good!

Yes, wikipedia doesn’t always tell the truth [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] Tree with Easter eggs sounds lovely, we usually pick willow branches or birch and take them inside so that the green leaves come out earlier than outside, kind of Spring vibe. People buy a lot of tulips and daffodils, grow green grass and paint Easter eggs. I would love to have a mangolia tree but the climate here is too cold so I buy branches from my flowershop. In my childhood they were not available here.
Celebrating Chinese New Year in SF sounds lovely. I’ve seen some parades in NY and always find these cultural traditions interesting.
