The Easter bunny dropped by last weekend, leaving a feathered path of Swedish sparkleyness in his wake.
Ooooooo! Shiny!
The Paskris went up again this year, albeit a little smaller than before. I don’t know if this is because I’m feeling a little less Easter, a little less Swedish, or because I still have to wear my winter coat outside in April, and I’m justifiably ticked about that.
Either way, it feels slightly springier in here and I’m down with that.
Also, in my never ending quest to hang random crap on chandeliers, this one got another makeover…
Not just eggs folks; eggs with feathers. I swear, feathers make everything better. Don’t ask me why, I don’t make the rules, they just do.
Back to the Easter tree. These yarn eggs I made look surprisingly nifty on the tree, as well as off. I’m pretty pleased with how it all came out.
I’ll confess here, I’d be more pleased if this crazy German dude quit making my tree look like a poorly Charlie Brown tree, but I can be the bigger person.
Kudos to you crazy German dude, Kudos to you.

ok I was just humming along happily to your delightful post, la la la, happy Peaches house, happy tree loolyloo and then WHAM! you slammed with that last photo. WHO IS THAT GUY AND HOW DID HE GET TO BE SO AWESOME????

Here is a more in-depth article on the German dude. Apparently he maxed out at 10k because he has no more storage room. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/04/volker-kraft-easter-tree_n_1402296.html
It really is remarkable 🙂

I agree completely with Melissa@Julias Bookbag. Holy cow?!!

Peaches, gotta love “cooler by the Lake”. I will stop thinking this is a temperature reference and now think that all Chicago weather people recognize your awesomeness.

Let’s all think warm thoughts 🙂

That tree is magical. When I have kids, I am taking them to that tree instead of Disneyland. xx
PEACHES
I’m coming with!

Consider the feathered eggs The Iris Apfel Influence. Your idol wears the heck-a-lee-doo out of a fabulous feather boa in yesterday’s post, so I can see where your affinity for feathers comes from. So that makes your tree (and chandelier) chic and fancy all at the same time.
You, my friend, are the trendsetter to beat.
PEACHES
Ha! Iris is everywhere — I like it. I should hang some oversized sunglasses on the chandelier for added flair!

girl, you DO make the rules.

Kell, I’m glad we know this, even if nobody else does 😉

For those interested in the official tree homepage: http://www.eierbaum-saalfeld.de/?seite=home&lang=deu. Over 200 pictures listed under egg 4 (Bilder). I live about a one and a half hour drive away and heard about the tree for the first time yesterday. I’m thinking road trip now.
PEACHES
Oufffff, you lucky girl!!!!! If you go wave the tree hello for me!
ANd thanks for that link. Wowzers!!
