Easter is this coming weekend and I’m off to celebrate with my family as I do every year. Hiding the Easter eggs, here I come!
Today’s post is a collection of vintage Easter advertising from the 1930s to the 1950s (plus a couple of magazine covers) to get us in the mood.
Let the Easter fun begin!

Liz Note: I just had ate one of these the other day and I forgot how much I don’t like them. Yuck! They remind me of fruit cake which I really dislike (sorry lovers of either dessert).
So this last image is not an advertisement but I just had to share because it’s a cute craft kids can do with extra Easter eggs.
