German Cottage & Easter Decor / Simple Spring Day

Welcome to my spring home in East Friesland, Germany! 🌿

In today’s video, we begin our Saturday with a peaceful walk by the sea, listening to the old barrel organ and visiting my favorite traditional "Tee Kontor" (tea shop). After a slow drive home through the coastal village, we start our spring refresh.

I am happy to share my new handmade projects with you: a blue-and-white checkered tablecloth with ruffles and beautiful Richelieu embroidery on my pillowcases. We will decorate the fireplace and the windowsills for Easter, and hang a simple spring wreath on the door.

Join me for my favorite part of the day — a traditional Friesian tea time with vintage porcelain from my white cupboard. We will also make a simple pear dessert and enjoy a quiet Saturday "Abendsbrot" (German dinner) by the window.

Thank you for spending this "Simple Spring Day" with me.
With love from Friesland, Alexandra ☕️❤️
