as an easter surprise, a particular russian tsar surprised his wife maria with a decorated egg made by faberge. eggs are symbols of renewed life and hope. the outside of the eggs are made of gold enamel while the insides open up to reveal a series of surprises. she loved this gift so, a different one was commissioned especially for her for years to come, each extravagant in it's own way, revealing new surprises each easter and spring.
have a beautiful weekend!

Hi there! Have a good Easter! Here in Paris the weather is super duper rainy - eew! But my honey bunny and I are still going to go out tonight;)

so good that you have enjoyed your holiday time as well.
guess we're back to our previous rhythms... but with more sunshine these days i hope.
