Easter weekend-2 I admired the sea.

During the Easter weekend I admired the sea.
I loved the peaceful sea views by day and by sunset,from home and at the beach.I did some cross stitch and watched the sea from my bedroom. I read my book and looked at the sea. I drank my coffee and looked at the sea. I had my breakfast and saw the sea.
A peaceful view through the grass and flowers.

 Drinking my coffee while sea glassing.The bag is a gift from my friend Cathy a long time ago.It is so suitable for my sea glassing adventures.

 Someone declared their love!Isn't it sweet?

 The sunset.

 Enjoying myself.

 Views of the sea from a boat waiting for her fisherman on the sand.

 Views of the sea from a log.

 Ooops,that pinecone fell there.

 Umbrellas for the tourists.

I of course collected lots of sea glass.And along came hubbie and my brother and his wife to collect with me.

 Some sea glass.

 I even found some blue pieces.

 Finders keepers! I couldn't believe my eyes!I was so fortunate!My eyes were blurred and unbelievably so the camera as well.

Here I would like to add that my entry of an Easter egg contest at Spoonful went very well.

Although I did not win my eggs were really liked.I had made these eggs years ago when my son was six years old and we still keep them and like them very much.You can see more of my collection of eggs here.

And here's a video of my sea this weekend. Enjoy the sound of the wave.

Easter weekend-1 I admired nature.

We had a very quiet Easter weekend at our summer house.The sun was bright and there was a breeze blowing.
Here are some photos of what I did!
I admired nature.

Easter visiting and egg decorating.

Holy week is usually filled with visiting.
On Tuesday evening we visited my brother's family to give them some gifts from Istanbul and for Easter.I bought my niece a lovely pair of pink plastic shoes and a pink skirt for Easter. Unfortunately I forgot to take  a pic but those shoes were like candy!
Here is the baklava we brought them.It was delicious!I recommend Koska pastry shops absolutely

 Then yesterday we went to visit my Godson. It is the custom here for the Godmother to take a candle to her Godchild which he/she will light on the night of the Resurrection. And even more the custom is to buy him/her shoes or other gifts.I must say my Godson was really happy with his gifts.

 His shoes.

 Guess who chose to wear them first!His little brother!

 Some spins for the children.

 The Godmother also receives presents!A basket filled with dyed and chocolate eggs.

 Tsoureki (sweet bread).

Then today my cousin and his daughter were visiting the city so we met for some coffee at the mall.It was beautifully decorated with huge butterflies and cages filled with flowers.

 I love the black and white sea themed mosaics on the mall floor.

 And the fountain is beautiful too.

 Then I dyed my eggs.From white....

 ....they became red,blue and yellow. Unfortunately not very succesful dyeing this year!

 I decorated my big table with my mum's embroidered table cloth and arranged on top some of my Easter decorations.
I have an IKEA tree where I hang all of my bought painted eggs from Prague.
