In Your Easter Bonnet, With All the Frills Upon It

I use to love the preparation before Easter.  It meant a shopping trip to buy a pretty new dress, usually a 'Cinderella' brand dress.  When I was younger my sister and I would get matching dresses.  In addition, we use to get new patent leather shoes, lace trimmed anklet socks or tights, a coat, little white gloves and a glorious Easter hat, elastic band and all.  We would happily get ready for Sunday School on Easter morning dressed in our Easter best. 

Happy Easter!

  2. Betty, I'm not sure I have seen that picture. I will have to check it out the next time we visit.

  3. Thank you, Kristin and Cynthia. Since my sisters live far from me; it was nice to remember our Easters together.
