Posted - Mar 22 2014 : 08:38:54 AM Does any one remember that song? Anyway...I was thinking, since it's been such a loooooooooooooong dark winter, that so many of us must be looking so so forward to spring. Easter, no matter how chilly, is always such a beautiful day and so many of us must be looking forward to a chance to shed our winter drearies and dress in our spring time best.
I was thinking that maybe we could post some of our pics in our Easter or at least spring time pretties It doesn't even matter whether you celebrate Easter or not, just a photo of you in your spring time best...even if that's just garden boots and a new hat ![](icons/icon_smile_wink.gif)
I think it would be a lot of fun to share spring time this way!
Have a wonderful weekend! Spring time is on it's way!!!

Posted - Apr 20 2014 : 08:33:40 AM I remember having a hat for Easter service. And I remember my older sister reaching across the pew and pulling the elastic that held it on my head as far as she could before she let it go. SNAP. And then I screamed and both us caught heck for being loud in church.

Posted - Apr 17 2014 : 5:38:20 PM these photos are all so precious! I can only remember one picture of my sister and I in our Easter outfits complete with bonnets. I think Mom has the pic still. Matching dresses and white sun hats. I miss those days, especially spending Easter with my sister. The pesky thing about growing up is the distance in miles it sometimes brings. <3 hugs Jessie

Posted - Apr 17 2014 : 5:02:18 PM What a cutie pie! My Kelley had red hair like that too. Hat wearing has definitely gone by the wayside these days for little girls. Now they have all these cute headbands and bows instead.
Hard to believe that Easter is this weekend with so much continued cold weather in the nation. We are in for two days of heavy rain starting tomorrow. oh yea. once again. The rivers are already at flood stage and slightly above. I wonder if the Easter Bunny has a boat? He is going to need one here in Florida!!!

Posted - Apr 17 2014 : 05:06:52 AM Sharon- you look adorable all dressed up in your Easter finery! The basket I had(and still have) looked just like yours but with only pink weave. I love your sweet hat!
Ceejay, you and your sister are so cute all dressed up in your fancy little girl dressed with the full skirts and bows in the back!
This has been such a fun post, Annika. Great idea for sharing!

Great post Annika! My parents used to hide chocolate covered marshmallow eggs wrapped in pastel foil outside for my brothers and I to find. If it was rainy or snowy we would look in the house for plastic eggs filled with coins, candy and miniature animals :)
I will try and find a picture of my Easter bonnet.

Posted - Apr 13 2014 : 4:10:32 PM Connie, I know what you mean about big Easter celebrations years ago. I had a big family and Easter dinner after church included a group of about 20 . Afterwards, my mom would hide about 4 dozen eggs that we had dyed the day before and everyone enjoyed a big egg hunt together. So fun and I miss the annual gathering! Now it is just me and hubby!

Posted - Apr 13 2014 : 12:15:21 PM Annika, I loved your story of being 7 or 8 with unruly red curls! Your little Easter dress sounds like it was a fairy tale dress too. Looking forward to you finding the perfect 2014 spring Bonnet and posting a photo!

Posted - Apr 13 2014 : 06:54:25 AM Oh girls, I've been so busy outside and trying to get all of the yard ready, getting the materials for the hoop houses! But I'm going to go see if I can find something fancy and springy to share =} Connie, Winnie, I absolutely love the old photos! All of my old photos are over in Seattle with my dad. He's a growly bear and doesn't want to share any of them LOL! I'm a redhead so when I was little it was always a pink or pink and white dress that was bought/made for me. One year, I must have been 7 or 8, my great aunt bought me this little dress that made me feel like the most beautiful princess in the world. It was pale pink with little blue birds and bows, it had puffy frilly short sleeves, a ruffled petticoat, and sheer over lay with even MORE ruffles. My obnoxious red hair tamed with bobby pins and hair spray, the hat was a little white bonnet with a spray of pink silk blossoms and a white lacy bow. We always posed for our Easter pictures someplace springy. We would end up going for an ice cream or milk shake at Huskey's Ice Cream in West Seattle. I would try to sit still in church, I'm a natural fidget, still am. I always tried to sing hymns,l but I have a voice like a chicken, and my grandma would always shush me after a few seconds =P I'll find a good hat to get my spring photo in, looking forward to more Easter bonnets and spring smiles =}

Posted - Apr 09 2014 : 4:34:23 PM Well, I dug around in the old photo box and found these two pics of me at Easter. This one was in 1956 when I was 5 years old. wearing my Easter Bonnet! Of course , these photos taken with my phone are posting crooked again. GEEZE I wish I could fix this. IF anyone has the secret, let me know because they are straight on the camera an in my file folder on the computer.

Photos were always taken with the sun in your eyes!
This one did not have a date on it, but I am thinking I was 3 years old. I am sure my mom didn't even try to convince a 3 year old to keep a hat on!![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif)

Again, the sun was in my eyes! But then again, those Brownie cameras were not the greatest!! |

Posted - Mar 31 2014 : 7:12:25 PM I love that song! I would love to find a hat to wear this year. I have the outfit complete with gloves and shoes just need a nice hat to wear. I love hats though I am pretty much convinced I don't have a hat head. ![](icons/icon_smile_sad.gif)

Posted - Mar 28 2014 : 8:35:18 PM OK, this is crazy!!!! I half sing, half hum that song ALL the time!!! LOL Sewing Easter dresses for our girls was so much fun! Those little lace edged socks & black dress shoes....too cute. Once in a while my birthday would fall on or around Easter so I dreamed of the coconut shaped bunny cake that would be served! Loved the pink jelly bean nose. LOL Will love to see the pics! Thanks for sharing Judy
