There is a rumour… that Easter Eggs are brought to your home in a basket carried by the Easter Bunny. Whilst very cute, we all know that the Easter Bells dropped  eggs and chocolates in our gardens when they fly back from Rome. Don’t we? This is a lovely French tradition – if you do not want to believe in it, you can still wish for one of these wonderful bells from Rob Ryan. There are all in Berry Red:

♥ This Bell will ring when we kiss goodnight – Vase (£35)

♥ This Bell will ring when I hear you sing – 4 plates (£28)

♥ This Bell will ring when you take your pencil and draw and write in me again – Notebook (£12)

Have a very happy Easter!
