Easter Dress

In your Easter bonnet,

With all the frills upon it,

You'll be the grandest lady

In the Easter parade.

-Irving Berlin 1933

I don't ever really remember wearing an Easter bonnet. A little wired lacy thing was as close as it got. This is me when I was two.
What I really fancied though was a little purse. It always held a handkerchief. I wish I could remember this scottie dog. Here is is in another picture..

Wonder what happened to that little purse? I have tried to find a replacement to no avail.

Anyways. This is Easter morning a couple years later. New pink dress with smocking, a little brother, new purse, but no bonnet whatsoever.

I definitely remember this purse. It was plastic with blue and peach colored foam strips woven through it, and foam flowers on the front. We called it a pocketbook. Below is a better picture. I carried it a lot.. and I know I was full of remorse when it was finally so bad my mother threw it out.
Uh-oh. Two years later. Same dress! And another little brother. I also have three older brothers. So no wonder my mother stretched as many years as she could out that pink smocked dress..
Do you remember wearing anything special on Easter? A bonnet? A new dress? Did you wear a coat because it was too chilly on those early spring mornings? Wouldn't it be fun to share them with us for a couple weeks? If you would like to join in with Nanette and me, dig out those photos and scan them and post them on your blog.. tell us all about them. Include your link here with Mr Linky at the bottom of this post, then everyone can come and see. And here is a button you can grab if you want to use it to link back here. There really are no rules and this is not a contest. We just thought it would be a fun Meme for this time of year!
