Merisi, the light evident in each of those pictures would encourage everyone to want to join you for breakfast in Vienna. What a very special, welcoming breakfast you have served!
Easter breakfast has always been special at our home. I love to use the Gmundner hand-painted dishes (with the green rim and the Streublumen, the tiny flowers strewn here and there ), for the cheery colour pattern they set, but also for the wide shallow teacups that allow the tea to cooler faster around the rim. The old gold-rimmed teapot is a more recent find - 15 Euros! - from a second hand shop (a weakness of mine, teapots, as are various creamers, milk jugs, I "collect", but only when they are a bargain). The yellow IKEA paper napkins have become a tradition too. Since we moved to Vienna, the table flowers come from the farmers' market at Yppen Square.
I think I have never cooked a proper Easter Sunday dinner, the ample breakfast is always followed by an "Osterspaziergang", a long walk or hike that lasts into the late afternoon and then nobody wants to slave in the kitchen anymore. When the children were smaller, we often ended up in a Chinese restaurant (others being closed). Yesterday, we made Vietnamese Summer rolls, with shrimp, cucumbers and mango. Everybody was happy. The lamb rests in the freezer for another day. ;-)
Easter Monday is a holiday here. Not bad, I quite like that the Austrians take an extra day to relax (after all, shops are closed since Saturday at 6pm!).
What a lovely table you set for your family and guests! Everything looks so bright and inviting. These are BEAUTIFUL photographs! Happy Easter, Merisi........ ~Allie
