We bake them each easter for brunch. And eat them with strawberries and the chocolate eggs we find in the garden.
(The top-left one and bottom right one were made by my brother Niels.)
This handkerchief was made for Kees Rutten, who is prone to making dangerous sea voyages.The runes in the corners phonetically spell his name and the rune symbol under his ship is one for safe journeys.
Varen, varen over de baren,
als scheepje op woelige zee.
Stormwind fluister, water ruist er
onder Avontuur's zeilen mee.

Dreary's daughter
My veins are clear as water
my eyes are clear as air
I am Dreary's daughter
and rainy is my hair
Silver patter, water falling
is the clatter of my steps
I am silver falling
to whisper from the depths
My cheeks are cold and windy
the windswept sky's my rime
If I'm your song, then sing me
my heart is keeping time
If you hear me, then come near me
I long to be unlone
an ember glows within me
and frost within my bone

His dark shoulder is in sable clad
His dark shoulder is in sable clad
his fingertips are sable silk
He calls into the morning glad
allseeing are all of his ilk
Sit on my shoulder sooty one
let me see with my eyes through your eyes
One call when the raven comes
one call when the raven flies
"I will put on my best white sloppeand I will wear my yellow hoseand on my head a good gray hatand in it I'll stick a lovely rose"
