Easter Markets

Easter seems to be one of the big holidays here in the Czech Republic, so there are markets at many town squares throughout the city. I missed seeing the main square near our place, namely Old Town Square, last year so I buzzed over early this year. There are all sorts of booths selling crafts, treats and traditional food. They also have live entertainment in the evenings. It's a fun place to hang out and enjoy the nice spring weather.


Traditional hand-painted eggs

They decorate trees or spring flowering branches by hanging the eggs and tying ribbons

I found this giant painted egg too!

A friend taught me how to make these fun Easter eggs using wax
She provides a few instructions on her blog if you're interested in trying it out:
