Wednesday Woo - Easter Delights

Easter brings us a very welcome long spring weekend with friends and family.  It's a time to gather and celebrate the new season - a celebration that involves fun, food and outdoor play, along with gifts and goodies that express the arrival of spring.

These lovely Easter Egg Tins by Maileg can be filled with all sorts of yummy treats for Easter Egg hunts.  Chocolate indulgence is inevitable but the Easter Egg Tins can also be used to hide little messages, buttons, hair clips or marbles for older ones. Belle & Boo badges would be a lovely surprise hidden inside too.

Maileg Easter Egg Tins for filling and hiding £5.50 each

Maileg Easter Egg Tins for filling and hanging £3.10 each

Belle & Boo badges £2.00 each

These Goodie Tins by Maileg have a really pretty floral pattern and Easter Bunny design. This is a lovely present to arrive with at Grannys house - filled with some home-made biscuits or flapjacks.  A gift to last beyond Easter - though I'm sure the home-made delights will disappear in a day!

Part of the ritual I enjoy in decorating for Easter is putting the darker wintry coloured fabrics away and re-discovering all the fresh linens that signal the new season. We shall be writing about spring decor soon and  there are some monday makery ideas here for bringing the spring inside with some blossom and bunting crafts.  Simply hanging a fabric decoration denotes a welcome to spring and all its'new life.  These Maileg chicks are very fresh and chirpy:

Our favourite rabbit Boo adorned on a canvas tote bag is a perfect way to carry around an emblem of spring. Fill it with flowers and treats for someone you adore:

Enjoy all the fresh new spring delights...and goodies too!

Our Wednesday Woo is where we show you some of our favourite things from the Sisters Guild Boutique.

We also have a Monday Makery, and Tuesdays are dedicated to telling you about the Story Behind our Collections.  Friday is all about images that depict the A-Z of Sisters Guild. 

We also bring you ideas, people, places, art, design and lots more in our Art of Living posts.

Wednesday Woo - Welcome to the New Rabbit Family

Welcome Alex, Abby, Christina & Cornelia, the new Maileg Rabbits for spring /summer 2011 that have  hopped into the boutique from Denmark, just in time for the Easter holidays.

The Rabbit Family live in a wonderful lair behind a tiny hill-top. There are sisters and brothers, nephews, cousins, a whole family. Every morning they wake up the sun, before it rises, and in the evening they eat star-sprinkles with warm milk using a silver spoon. They are beautifully dressed and ready to play...

Maileg Rabbits - Medium - Christina & Cornelia, £34

The outfits can be changed and the medium sized rabbits even have sweet little shoes you can take on and off - perfect for keeping little hands busy.

Maileg Rabbits - Medium - Abby & Alex, £34

Maileg have used some beautiful fabrics this season - fresh green check, bright florals and a sweet yellow blossom print. Alex has a soft knitted cotton sweater and stripey shorts - so the boys aren't left out of all the rabbit play and dressing fun!

Maileg Rabbits - Small - Christina & Cornelia, £16

And of course there are baby rabbits in the family too:

Maileg Rabbits - Baby Boys & Girls, £14

The Maileg rabbits are made with fine linen with embroidered deatil on the face, fingers and toes. They have dangly arms and legs which adds to their charm. They are so adorable and easily become favourite companions to join in all the day-to-day activities...and far flung adventures too. 

When the rabbits are out and about there's a lovely little duffle-style bag which is perfect for the babies and all the bits they need.  The medium rabbit fit in too with their little face and ears popping out the top to spy all the things that go by.

Maileg Weekender Bags, £13.95

Another rabbit that we are completely smitten with is Boo, Belle's best friend. The pair of them have been up to all sorts of things so far this spring:
