Making an Egg Carrier!

Salut, tout le monde!


Recently, my good friend Inky decided to hold an egg carrier design contest for Easter. Juliette and I decided to work on an entry together, just for fun. Although we aren't the best artists in the world, we decided to decorate our egg carrier with red panda faces and paw prints. After all, we both know how much Inky loves her red pandas!

This is how our egg carrier looked after we were finished decorating it:

Juliette had the job of assembling the egg carrier. She also added several eggs that we'd colored earlier in the week:
We decided to give our completed egg carrier to Juliette's new friend, Maura. From a small beach town in Virginia, Maura is a new student at Fair Hollow. She is quite the artist, from what Juliette tells me. I was a little worried that she'd laugh at our silly little drawings, but she smiled and appeared quite thrilled to be the recipient of our egg carrier:


Here is Maura with her Easter egg carrier:

Did everyone have a good Easter? Juliette and I attended an early church service and then walked around the city for awhile, looking at pretty Easter flowers and lots of dogs dressed up in their Easter finery.

Le Jour de Pâques...quelle surprise!

Quelle surprise! Marsali and I celebrated Le Jour de Pâques [Easter Day] à la française. We had gotten to talking about Easter, and before I knew it, I was telling her about French Easter traditions.

We then decided that it might be fun to celebrate our own French-style Easter right here in America.

First, we trained one of the girls' horses to bring us les oeufs de Pâques [Easter eggs] so that we could take turns hiding and finding them around the house. Quel amusement!

We then posed for pictures in our pretty Easter dresses before settling down to a dinner of gigot d'agneau [lamb].


Finalement, we found the basket left for us by the bunny, and each of us got a few little things. Do you like my new purple polka-dotted high-tops?



Hope everyone had a fun Easter and/or Passover!
