Easter Parade
Shops March 24th, 2010
Above, top row, from left:
No basket is complete without a chocolate bunny—or three—and these hollow milk chocolate versions from Sucre are the yummiest and most adorable we’ve found.
These Gayle Warwick linen cocktail napkins from Hollyhock come in the most delightful Easter egg colors and have even more delightful contrasting hemstitching. The linen comes from Belgium, the embroidery is done in Vietnam and the results are some of the chicest napkins we’ve seen anywhere.
What’s Easter without a chick? Add a sweet lamb and put them both under glass cloches and you have the most delightful table decorations from the Stationer of New Orleans. When lunch is over, they’re perfect in a nursery or child’s room all year round.
We think Easter lilies are lovely, but we’d be even happier with this Van Cleef posy from Richters Jewelry. The circa 1960s flower features turquoise petals, sapphire leaves, and an especially nice center of seven round diamonds.
Bottom row, from left:
Any man would be “the proudest fellow in the Easter parade” in this handmade Kiton silk tie from Peter Elliott. A pastel seersucker or white linen suit would look especially sharp accented by these bright spring colors.
Okay, we know it’s a tad demented and we love bunnies as much, if not more, than the next person, but so do our four-legged friends. This organic rope rabbit from Come.Sit.Stay will give your pup countless hours of holiday fun.
Like Irving Berlin, we could “write a sonnet” about this luscious lavender “bonnet” from Pied Nu. We are also crazy about the “frills upon it”—grass green trim and a brown grosgrain band.
London’s George F. Trumper has been making our favorite Rose Shaving Soap for more than 130 years, and you can buy it stateside at Aidan Gill. The scent is warm, uplifting, and quintessentially English. Best of all, its “natural properties” are specially formulated to leave sensitive skin soft, and it comes in a lovely dark wood box.
