Over the years I have done several Easter blog posts but never one completely dedicated to Vintage Easter images. Since Easter is around just the corner and I have another themed post lined up for the week of, let’s do these Vintage Photos today!

Let’s take a look at our stylish & cute photos.

The next photo is from an Easter post I did on “1920’s Photos of Toronto’s Easter Parade“, but is so amazing that I wanted to make sure you did not miss it.

Take a look at these fantastically dressed 1920’s women in their version of a tuxedo complete with top hats. The details are incredible. From their bobbed hair, majorette boots and long scarfs coming from their hands (so many questions) it’s all outstanding!
