She pioneered in the UK the custom of decorating homes for Easter, like they do in her native Germany, and has led the Easter market ever since. For 2018, she’s designed four delightful, coordinated Easter/ spring collections, each aimed at different sectors: sweet, jolly, nostalgic and rustic. There are chicks, hens, ducklings, bunnies for hanging, and Easter trees to hang them on. Plus, with eggs in painted glass, wood, ceramic, hand-finished fabric, and metal, there’s plenty to choose from. If that’s not enough, there are eggcups, egg hunt accessories and lots of serious table and kitchen decorations – mostly timeless products for sale throughout all of spring. See her 2018 Easter/Spring collection at Spring Fair stand 8A20/B19.
