There is one Swedish Easter tradition that I will never
part with, and that is to hand out egg-shaped gift-
containers with sweets to my children and loved ones.
The designs have a slightly vintage children's book feel
and still to this day bring back the feeling of Easter joy
that I felt as a child. Though I have kept some old ones
that my parents gave me when I was little, I was thrilled
to find that you can actually buy them at 'Papier d'Amour'
right down the street from where I live in Sydney.. Yay!
They also stock these really cute Russian inspired 'rabbit boxes'.
Not quite like the Easter egg that Czar Alexander III gave
his wife the Empress Maria Fedorovna back in Imperial Russia,
but cute never-the-less. And without the Fabergé price tag.. :)
Also think these little nests and creatures are nice.
Could look adorable on a kid's Easter table..or just generally
as part of a casual Easter buffet.

Hej! Kul att du skrev om traditionen med påskägg! Ända sedan mina barn var små så har jag hållit fast vid det. Även nu när dom är vuxna så händer det att dom får ett påskägg av mej. Jag bor ju i södra delen av sverige och när jag var barn så brukade vi färga ägg som vi sedan hade på påskbords buffen. Man brukade klä ut sig till påskkärring och gå omkring och knacka på folks dörr och önska glad påsk.Och då förväntade man sig att man skulle få någon gåva tillbaks....pengar eller godis. Efter en lång och ovanligt kall vinter här i skåne så verkar det som om våren är pågång nu! Jag önskar dej en fin dag! bästa hälsningar från Leni

Oh, yes, sister! We have 3 large old-fashioned eggs here. The ones that remind me of my own childhood. Sweet with lots of nostalgia! That is how we like it! Hug, Mon
