What a lucky Hitty indeed and an amazing and interesting time she is having. I just love her little costume isn’t it just perfect for her.
Tansy is having the time of her life. Her little outfit is so beautiful, she is so amazed and grateful to her generous hosts!
Very interesting – Lovely costume and basket of goodies.
The tradition of blessing the Easter Basket of food was new to us – Tansy is learning so much!
What a lovely outfit, and it will always bring memories of such a special Easter. I love the pysanka – delicate and beautiful, it’s a great tradition. I hope she will have opportunity to wear her pretty outfit again.
Tansy is gathering memories, she’s going to amaze the other inhabitants of the Hitty Cupboard when she gets back and tells them all the tales!
Yes, Tansy has indeed had a beautiful Ukrainian Easter. It is so lovely seeing such beauty in her marvellous outfit, the psanky, breads, Thank you.
We are all amazed and happy for her – her hosts have been so generous and kind to her, including her in their special traditions, and teaching her new amazing recipes!
