Easter is nearly here but first of all Malbers Fabrics have this juicy little bit of info to share with you all
The tale of the Hare and the Island....
- Yes as shocking as some of you may find the Easter bunny is actually a Hare, it was first brought over to America from Germany by German Immigrants in the 1700's as a story of a Hare that layed colourful eggs at Easter. Originally known as Osterhase (Easter Hare) in Germany. The Osterhase was first mentioned in German writings as far back as the 1500's.
- Just as children are told every year that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, Easter Bunny according to the Easter Bunny tracker is living his best life on Easter Island in the South Pacific where the remote nature of the island ensures that Easter Bunny gets plenty of privacy before he hops around the world once a year making his Easter deliveries.
So has Easter Island actually got anything to do with Easter?
