Are You Wearing an Easter Bonnet?

Remember Easter in the "good old days"?
When Easter meant hat shopping?
Easter services at church were
mini Easter parades of hats!
Look at this fine selection of Easter bonnets!

Hmmm. Prices may have increased
over the years!
Some people like to wear
goofy hats for Easter
while wishing for a
good old cowboy hat!
Right, Texas Woman?
Looks like several generations
of Easter bonnets!


Easter bonnets at school?
Maybe Sunday School!



Boys get into the hat frenzy too!



The typical Easter outfit!



Did it get any better than this?



May you and your family
have a wonderful Easter
full of old-fashioned fun!

Oh yes....and I remember making Easter bonnets out of paper plates in grade school.
Those are wonderful pictures Malisa.....Thanks.

And speaking of pictures....Those are lovely "Family Fotos".

I hope you and yours have a most beautiful Easter.

I remember making Easter bonnets out of paper plates too, and helping out in my kids classrooms when they were little making paper plate Easter bonnets. But my favorite photo is of share and HER hat!!

I think there is a photo of my sister and I in those same outfits as the last photo, complete with the parasols! I even had a little drawstring handbag and gloves to complete my ensemble. Even then I loved to accessorize!
Sadly, with my big ol' melonhead, I no longer wear hats. I look too much like Icky Twerp!
Happy Easter, my friend.

Oh my goodness!! Your photos and post really brought back memories of Easter past. Crinolins, hats, cute socks, new shoes, gloves, purses, fancy dresses,.... I remember that some dresses were itchy and I couldn't wait to get out of them!

Malisa. . . as you must be able to tell, my comment above needed to be changed from "share" to the actual person "Char". I think I had a blonde moment!

Sue said...

Geeez. . . I meant Cher, and I haven't even been drinking, maybe that's what my problem is!

trash talk said...

Sounds like to me that maybe Sue needs a drink...fix her one up Malisa!

Okay, what is wrong with a little "juice" on Easter Eve??? Is a celebration not a celebration for something joyous and risenful (thats my own word for rising from the dead)! I think many should celebrate more in this joyous occassion that is almost upon us!(I'm on west coast time). I think you all (I don't know how to say that word the Texas way, sorry) need to come out here to CA and see how we celebrate our holidays! How does that sound Share?

The Texas Woman said...

I'm ready. I'll bring all the junkin' girls and we can treasure hunt on the way out to see ya! Of course, with this crew we'd need to drive an eighteen wheeler to carry all our finds!

It's funny, up here nobody bothers dressing their little ones up. They end up muddy or soaked through with residual snow. We throw on a heavy jacket and call it a day.
