No, it arrived safely and I like it very much. Roger is rather puzzled about what it is and where it came from and why. I'm saying nothing.

Hi Razvan,

How nice to see the lovely Martisoares you have made.  I lived in Rumania for 3 years and I remember them well.  You attached them with little silk cords to your jacket.  The more the better.

So perhaps on my beautiful Japanese hansen jacket then?

Thank you.
Don't keep Roger wondering too long.

Yesterday we visited Schechingen, a small community with approximately 2500 inhabitants,
famous for its enormous easter well.
These central wells of many communities are decorated by volunteers at springtime with eggs and other
symbols to celebrate water as the source of all life.
10 years ago a club of seniors from Schechingen saw such a well during a trip and started to decorate
their own one. It improved from year to year and now it is made with 11073 hens eggs, 997 goose eggs
and 21 ostrich eggs. (So it was written, I didn't count them.) All are true natural (no plastic) and hand-
painted by many volunteers. Beside traditional ornaments you can see Christian themes, local motives,
fairy tales, comics and many other things.
Happy Easter to all the forumists and their families and partners!

FANTASTIC EGGS!!! As beautiful in their way as the marvellous elephants of an earlier thread, when they appeared in London!

Thank you Rudi for posting these super pictures. They've made my (chocolate-free) day!

[Paul T]

That's pretty amazing, Rudi!

Lesley and Paul, thank you for your friendly comments.

[Olga Bondareva]

Wow so many interesting things were posted while I was traveling! 

This is just to report. I finished my peacock tablecloth.

[Maggi Young]

SO beautiful, Olga.... how many hours are there in your day? 36 ? 

[Ulla Hansson]

Olga, so amazingly beautiful tablecloth you have crocheted. I wish I had the ability to make a similar one.

[Melvyn Jope]

Beautiful Olga, seeing your work reminds me of the skills my mother and grandmother had when crocheting or tatting. They used to do it with their fingers moving so fast that you could never quite make out how it was done!

[Lesley Cox]

A truly beautiful cloth Olga. One to become a family heirloom.

[Olga Bondareva]

Thank you Maggi, Ulla, Lesley and Melvyn.

Beautiful Olga, my grandmother did similar work.
