Hi Stefan,<br>
<br>
yes I can explain what the second sign means, it is from czech easter
habit:<br>
(I don't know how do you celebrate Easter in USA, but Stefan you are
from Germany, right? maybe you know czech easter habit.)<br>
We use this (see picture bellow) to cane girls and women (just little)
to be fertile and health in next year and they give us (boys and men)
eggs as a symbol of new life. It is made from thin branches of willow
(tree - second picture) <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman"
size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi Val, :-)<br>
<br>
no, no, first sign means just HAPPY in english and second EASTER.<br>
I don't have time to write czech RABBIT and BASKET now, but Rabbit is
signed
like his ears (ASL N-Handshape with both hands and BASKET (it depends
on shape
of basket,) but it is signed with O-hanshape showing HANDLE. <br>
<br>
I can write it down in few days.<br>
so Happy Easter again<br>
<br>
