easter weekend.

i was invited to my friend, genna's mother's house in CT for easter weekend.
she was the perfect hostess! we had chocolates and toothbrushes on our towels in her gorgeous little farmhouse.
how fab is her shower door (above)

 the entire house was covered in gorgeous antiques-- see this stunning hand stitched table cloth? 20 seconds after i took this pic, i spilled diet coke all over it. oops.....

 it's an eater tradition that they make ravioli from scratch. it took 2 hrs for 5 of us to whip up 98 raviolis. they. were. ridiculous.
and really fun to make. what a lovely tradition! we all felt so much ownership of the meal.

 we hopped to the town sweetshop and posed in front of the 4 ft tall chocolate bunny.
i could totally live in ridgefield. it's the sweetest little town.

 genna's mom made cannoli.... i'm not kidding, i'm not sure i've ever eaten so much in 24 hours....
so much for that diet!

 the table was so elegant in this sweet farmhouse.

 we had 2 famous artists in the group so we put one of the talents in charge of making the traditional bunny cake. i'm going to start doing that.

 big representation of brits, italians, a greek, an argentinian, a cuban and a welsh mormn. lots of great women. what a fantastic group of ladies.

 i love being in the country. only one hour away from the city and it felt like a lifetime away.

 genna's mom also does tarot cards.. and this was a very lovely and hopeful reading.
perfectly silly and fun for a girl sleepover.

sussy came to town on monday and left a little cluster of eggs when i got out of bed to hop to the restroom. so sweet of mom and dad to think of me and for her to haul them.

i had a really lovely easter with some of my favorite people. i know i say this a lot, but i really do have the greatest friends and family.
hope you had a gorgeous weekend as well.
