on the easter weekend





that pretty much sumps up what we did. home.
the weather, so spring-like lately, turned from not-so-nice to awful
caught up with some sleep like i would have never thought was possible
a seasonal table was set for which L did the flower composition because that's what she wants to do as a job later she says
rum baba is traditional in our family for easter. i tried to innovate and made some individual ones this year.
more than 4 pounds of chocolate was bought for friends & for the chocolate hunt, i wish i had thought of buying some for myself as well...
yes the easter bells also bring some flip-flops in case you didn't know
some lovely friends asked me when i would be back to blogging, the truth was i didn't know. life gets in the way, as they say.
finally joined instagram -- under the screen name of unarcencieldanslelavabo -- now that it is open as an android app. please come say hello if you're there !
thank you susan for one of my photos featured on your lovely information site
i hope you all had a nice weekend & happy spring everyone !

    1. candies are one thing, butchocolate is not that bad. even for diabetics, esp if dark chocolate.
      out of these 4 pounds I didn't get to eat any of them :(

    2. :-D

      4 pounds still make me smile!

      My "boss" was for holidays in France and brought this awesome handmade dark orange-choco,
      yummy!
      I just can eat dark choco (you know the vegan thing ;D ), but still a big "sin",
      I never can stop to eat, hehehe ...

      Have a nice week start!

  13. Tt's 3C here today - what happened to our spring weather?! Fortunately, it was lovely on Easter day. I'm having technical difficulties joining instagram, it won't let me, and I can't understand why. Hope to see you back here now and then, and each time you feel like. Hugs to the family!
