Compared to last years EPIC WINTER, this year, here on the east coast we have escaped relatively unscathed. We’ve had a few snowstorms, but nothing compared to the snowmageddon of 2015. I have actually been seeing and hearing sounds and signs of spring’s arrival.
I have noticed a few perennials cautiously poking their heads through the soil and just today I heard a robin singing. (Trust me, they were NOT singing last year!)
I am so happy Spring officially arrives in one week. I am so looking forward to the warmer weather and being able to open our windows; gardening and just sitting on the deck, relaxing in the warm sun.
It certainly is beginning to feel a bit more springlike now that Easter is right around the corner. And thankfully, it’s Springtime at Hallmark too!
It’s one-hop shopping for the Easter bunny at Hallmark, making it easy to fill those baskets with fun.
Just some of the Hallmark Easter 2016 “must haves” include:
Disney’s® Easter itty bittys® and Felt Easter Basket ~
Kids would be thrilled to collect their favourite characters among all the chocolate bunnies and treats. Or present these lovable characters as a gift on their own.

Embossed Ceramic Mug ~
These mugs are perfect for coffee and tea time. They come in blue and pink. The blue has light blue highlights that beautifully compliment the intricate exterior design and the pink mug has a baby pink inside and a matching bow on the outside — the definition of cute!
