This will be a very different Easter morning for me. It is the first time in my life that I will be all alone, by myself on Easter morning. Nobody but me. No Easter bunny, no Easter baskets to make up, no candy or eggs or seek and find. I don't know if I should be forlorn, or if I should do a celebratory dance. Don't feel too sorry for me though. I pick Marc up from the airport mid morning and then there is the big family gathering at Dad's in the afternoon.
I thought you might enjoy some of the Easter photos I have taken for my visual reference file. All this inspiration and nothing to do with it, except share it of course, which is just about as fun.
Easter morning on a street in Florence, Italy a few years ago.
Easter goodies in a Florence shop window. The little swan and piggy confections on the bottom shelf were in most of the shops, so I assume they are some sort of popular treat.
Pink foil wrapped Easter egg with bunnies and flowers in a Florence shop window
Big Easter egg wrapped in a cream scarf with silk flowers in a Florence shop window
La Petite Rose Patisserie in the Montmarte area of Paris at Eastertime.
Huge chocolate egg with pink ribbons set in a bowl in La Petite Rose window.
A shop in the Opera district in Paris with it's windows full of Easter baskets and the color orange. Orange is such an unusual Easter color, but I think it is beautiful!
A close up of one of the baskets. I love how they arranged the candies all crowded in and standing on end. It is just a solid mass of Easter treats.
The bowl in the back makes my heart go pitter patter. I think if I could have any basket, that is the one I would choose. Hopefully I would be able to substitute jelly beans for all the chocolate.
So, which basket or Easter treat would you choose?

What great pictures. Too bad you couldn't fly over to Florence and enjoy Easter window shopping. In a perfect world:)
So I think i'm coveting the large bowl as well. although, the square crate in the right corner looks interesting. I seem to be drawn to straight lines and sharp corners. oh, and forget the chocolate and bring on the gummies!
Oh I love these pictures! I'm glad you posted them--makes me nostalgic. I remember oohing and ahhing over all the elaborate treats in Florence. I'm glad you have a picture of La Petite Rose, too--that was just up the street from my Paris apartment, remember? Sigh.
I'm not sure which treat I would choose...I like the yellow bowlful of eggs, too. I also like the little white swans in the Florence window but I'm not sure I'd want to eat them. Does it count if I say I'd pick macarons at la petite rose for my easter basket? ha ha.
P.S. This is a random note, but I just remembered that I wanted to tell you that there is a Gelato shop in Provo just on center street. I think you and I should go when you come down for graduation!! It is almost as pretty as the real Italian gelato.
i choose the pigs...for obvious reasons
love, sarah
