    Oh Easter Tree, Oh Easter Tree …. what?  Wrong holiday or wrong plant?

    Nothing wrong at all, Italian creativity in holiday home decorating is the Easter tree.  Making one of your own is really simple.

    The tortuous branches are from a European hazelnut, a small, deciduous tree that star

    hazelnuts

    ts blooming in the spring, so these were cut just before then.

    Decorate as desired, we used small Easter eggs and occasional chicks and butterflies.  Try some colored basket grass and spray with a little imitation dew.

    hazelnuts – also the base for Nutella :-)

    April 5th

    Pampering is not just a girl thing, it’s a guy thing too and that’s how those Italian stallions get the bod!  So get your groom going with a day at the Spa with the boys and let them indulge in the company of their favorite blonde …. a frothy beer!

    Let them soak in the suds and sauna while they sip on 5 different Italian brews served in the tub with snacks and munchies.  Just like at the pub, a little more sophisticated since, he IS marrying you :-)   A full 6 hours with tub time, beer tasting and eats, haircut, massage, all for under 100 euros per dude.
