Timeless Easter Charm

Celebrating Easter takes me back to my past & down memory lane.  I think back on those sweet memories, & remember dying eggs with my Mamma in our kitchen carefully dipping the egg into the dye & placing it in the punched-out hole of the egg-dye box.  I remember Easter egg hunts with my cousins and neighbors.  I remember a new Sunday outfit with patent leather Mary Janes & my parents dressed in their Sunday's finest.  I remember Easter lunch at my Nannie & Papaw's on the Brushy Bayou.   So it doesn't surprise me that when I begin decorating for Easter, there are no new shiny ceramic bunnies or decorator eggs. 

All the vintage bunnies displayed in an old drawer peeling & cracked from age

This little paper mache' bunny has seen better Easters with his torn and repaired ear...but he is one of my favorites!

The blue paper mache' rabbit & the 1960's plastic yellow candy holder bunny are both "treasures" found when out on a junkin' spree.

 
I adopted this stuffed bunny from a thrift store. His cloth tag is stitched "Japan."











         Chalk chick was 10 cents a a yard sale. Chirp!Cheap Chirp!

Aged cotton "powder puff tail" dingy from the years is near & dear to my heart.

Can you tell I have a weak spot for these old bunnies ???

Bunny display using the old bird cage as a "rabbit cage" 

I never pass up a bunny planter if the price is right!

 

Don't you just love the little peep trying to squeeze thru the cage!

 This rabbit oil painting is an amateur, "Sunday Afternoon Painting" but I keep it out all year long, because I love it so.  I see little rabbits hopping around in my back yard daily that looks just like the one pictured...

This old book was Mr. Cranky's when he was a little guy!

Say AAAHHHHH!!!! 

 

I have even started adding ducks to my Easter collection.
The eggs are vintage German candy containers. QUACK!

This is my favorite Easter Postcard!

 

My Mamma gave this to me last Easter as a "happy".

It's not old, but it looks "aged"...

This Annalee lamb was found in the bottom of an old box at an Estate Sale in Birmingham, AL.  Each Annalee is dated on the tag... This one is dated 1991.       

Logan got this in his Easter basket when he was 2 years old!

My "Little Logan" at 5 months old with a bunny on his back.  Where does the time go?  

Well, I hope that you enjoyed my tour of  my time-worn Easter decor.  I pray that all of you will have a blessed Easter...and remember, the stone was rolled back & JESUS LIVES!
