[QUOTE="Van_Poperin, post: 9423656, member: 16501"]Hello all, I am posting to see if anyone has anything interesting that they use to decorate at Easter? In comparison to other celebrations here in Britain, Easter isn’t very popular and decorations aren’t much of a thing. I found this faïence cruet set last year in October, and knew immediately how I would use it to decorate! some of you may know the story of Roger Giles, an 18th century Englishman who made a grammatical error in an advertisement and consequently told the world that he himself had laid the fresh eggs that he sold (“fresh eggs by Roger Giles!”). Ceramicists had a field day with this idea, and the world is now full of little squatting men. This is my version, although it’s entirely possible that little man is intended to be even ruder than that… but as a big fan of chocolate I know how I’ll be using him!
