Oh my gosh, those ladies from 1925! Their coats, their hats, their shoes!! I absolutely love everything they’re wearing. I have a beautiful photo of a great uncle and aunt when they got married on Easter Monday in the 1920s. They both look so amazing! xx
Oh I would love to see the photo of your great aunt and uncle in the 20’s, I’m sure your awesome fashion sense was passed down from generation to generation 🙂
I really want to know the story of those giant Easter eggs!
This has been an absolutely delightful trip down memory lane, with much of it reflecting my own childhood Easter memories. Thank you so much for this blog and for just being there!.
Ahhh thanks so very much Debra! Your comment really made my day.
Have a great week!
