The coming of spring has been celebrated since ancient times. Nature is at her most exuberant in springtime, and the glories of the reawakening natural world command attention. This beautiful little book draws inspiration from all this abundance to provide decorative ideas and traditional recipes in celebration of Easter and the season of rebirth. " Easter: A Celebration" captures the spirit of the Easter festivities, with practical ideas and inspirational projects to bring the delights of spring into the home. Abundant blossoms and the first flowers of the year can be arranged in simple posies or displays, and lush foliage and soft feathers collected on country walks make charming decorative effects. Eggs have for centuries been dyed and decorated as part of the Easter tradition, and there are creative projects in this book for treatments using natural dyes, decoupage, stenciling and gilding. The end of Lent ensures that convivial feasting plays a large part in the celebrations, and the final section of the book features an irresistible collection of traditional treats, including Truffle-filled Chocolate Eggs, Simnel Cake, Easter Bread and pashka. Step-by-step sequences illustrate the projects and recipes, and exquisite color photographs evoke the freshness of the new season. "Easter: A Celebration" will help you to capture the essence of Easter with glorious natural decorations and time-honored foods
