In many countries Easter is not that important a holiday – in the Netherlands a lot of people treat it just as an extra free day, although some do meet for an Easter meal with their families. In Poland it’s more of a major holiday, with numerous traditions both religious and secular.
But there are many elements which are common to many countries across the globe even though very often their real symbolism has been forgotten. And the main tradition is, of course, decorating Easter eggs. A topic which will definitely appear on my blog later this week, but I decided to start the new Creative Easter category with something much more original – egg warmers! Ever heard of them? These are small caps – usually knitted or sewn – in the shape of bunnies, chicks or simply with flowers, which you can put on a boiled egg. Aren’t they cute? They make for a great Easter table decoration, PLUS they’ll keep your eggs warm :-)
The ones below I found on the www.dotcomgiftshop.com website – there is some interesting stuff to be found there – but in the Netherlands also Albert Heijn carries a cute line of egg warmers, so be sure to check it out!
