Easter is on its way...

My kids are certainly longing for Easter. For us it almost as fun as Christmas with art / craft activities, hanging up decorations (even table cloths and runners etc) and of course the filled Easter Eggs that are given one each to each child. In Sweden we fill these eggs with assorted lollies and some (which we do) add a little something / present of money in the egg.
I do not remember ever having chocolate eggs or bunnies so the kids get the best of the 2 cultures: the chocolate egg hunt as well as the filled Easter egg with a little present. Lucky them I say, no wonder they are really looking forward to Easter. But it is a great holiday, in Sweden spring has sprung and here the real heat has finally gone and is most often fantastic (I sooo love a nice warm & sunny autumn day)!

So if you are looking to try the Easter Egg thing, and you are in Melbourne, try to get to Nord Living on Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn. They sell these and you can even buy a bag of Swedish lollies there to fill the eggs with. These lollies are, of course, from us; Swedelicious. If you want more lollies or different ones, jump online and order there.

Here are a couple of pictures of the eggs and a sample bag of the lollies that Nord Living stock.



Happy Pre-Easter everyone :)
