Why do we egg-hunt at Easter time? 2012.02.01

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

The custom of egg hunting has become a fun game that is played by children at Easter time all over the world who believe that the Easter Bunny has hidden chocolate eggs for them to find.

Having looked around at various pieces of information on Easter I have found that there are strong symmetries between religion and folklore. It is easy to understand why the egg would symbolise spring being a new beginning, but in Christianity the egg also symbolises the resurrection. The events origins are different for different cultures, religions and countries but the celebrations and symbolism attached to them are all the same or very similar.

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Hi all,

As promised, here are a few snaps to help you get to know me and the rest of the team better.

Our office

First of all, here are two photographs of the Katies Cards office. The building with the bluey-grey ‘Engravers House’ sign above the window is the our office where all of our ecards are created. The building is a converted butchers shop and is bright and airy. There are 3 companies in the building altogether as well as my ceramics studio which was built at the back of the office.

Ecards Are Perfect For Easter

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

The big events through the year that have become most popular with Ecards senders have typically been Christmas, Birthdays and Valentines Day. One annual event that seems to have become overlooked is Easter, but it is fact the perfect occasion to send an Easter E card. It is a time of year where we think about and spend time with family and friends, and all those close to us, especially the small ones in our lives who look forward to receiving yummy chocolate Easter eggs.

Dancing Easter Eggs and Rabbits, the perfect Easter Ecard?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

At Katie’s Cards we just love dancing Easter Eggs and Bunnies, so we could not resist filling our new Easter Ecard with them. Inspired by the films of Busby Berkeley and a little nod to Austin Powers with a cool latin 1960s music track.

New E cards for St Patrick’s, Easter and Mother’s Day

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Just a quick update about the new e card events that are coming up in the near future.

At present I am sorry to say that we are struggling to come up with an original idea for a new St Patrick’s Day Ecards which falls on the 17th March, as it is hard to think of a scenario that does not involve leprechauns! I have considered featuring Saint Patrick himself ridding Ireland of snakes and other pests, but it feels quite an involved topic and not very Ecard friendly. Perhaps something featuring a harp, any suggestions are very welcome.

An Uninvited Easter Guest

When I was nine years old my mother decided to put on a bumper Easter lunch, it would be the first gathering of the whole clan- our family of five and both sets of grandparents, for quite a while.

Easter Morning E card

Easter Morning E card

Easter week was a perfect spring postcard. The blossoms were budding on the branches in our garden by the sea and a little snail of crocuses lined the path down to the Summerhouse. I was volunteered to pick some daises to sprinkle in painted eggcups, my reluctant brothers to fetch daffodils for the vases. On Easter Saturday we all pitched in to lay a special table with yellow candles and napkins and tiny fluffy chicks perched on the table centerpiece. But on the side plates, where usually an Easter egg wrapped in a colourful ribbon would sit, there was nothing!
