Vintage Easter Blog Hop!!


Welcome to the Vintage Easter Blog Hop!!
Joan at Anything Goes Here is our hostess, so please visit her to get a list of lots of other bloggers joining in to share their vintage Easter decorations.

I don't have alot of vintage Easter stuff. Most of it I got just recently. Like these hot pink bunnies with the big buck teeth!

This little cutie is an old Relpo planter.

A little Morton Pottery bunny planter.

A plastic swan or duck. Love the old "tacky" plastic stuff!

A Lefton Easter egg, with a little girl inside! What's she doing in there??

Another Lefton egg, with something more normal in it. A duck. With a hat on!

An old Fannie May candy box.

I think this bunny is my favorite decoration. A lovely combination of plastic and felt! Do you like old plastic decorations, or do you think they are an abomination?

Plastic basket, plastic eggs, plastic hen. Perfect!

A little tin picnic basket. Ok, I've changed my mind, this is my favorite!

A bunch of old Easter picks.

This sugar egg was always in my mother-in law's dining room, from the first day I met her, and I always loved it. I'm so happy that I was able to have it after she passed away, because I think of her every time I look at it.

A peek at the bunny inside.

A package of Gurley candles that I still can't decide whether to take out of the package or not.
And this is a shot of the bookcase that holds most of the decorations. I've tried to behave myself and keep most of it in one place instead of scattered all throughout the house. That way, it all gets put away after Easter, and I don't find things months later that I forgot to put away! Now please head over to Joan's to see more vintage Easter decor!

Hi Carol,
I just love everything you posted. The sugar egg is just too cute and for some reason the yellow plastic basket I think is awesome. Hope you have a great day.

I remember when people used to make those sugar "peep hole" eggs! We had a couple of them when I was a girl. I do not know what happened to them - - -but they did not come here to live with me!

Carol - I thought you said you didn't have much vintage Easter!?! You have a lot more than I do! I actually love the little girl in the egg. It kind of looks like a clamshell.

Good morning to Carol! Okay...I LOVE plastic tacky stuff too...I'm attracted to it like jam is to peanut butter! My favorite is the swan!

Back to the Dollyopoly board...oh look said the Mad Hatter...Carol has arrived!

Dawn said...

Hi Carol! I'm so bummed I forgot about this party. We had a busy weekend though and then both kids got a bad flu. Was up with my son, Saturday night then my daughter was sick all last night. I slept till noon today!

I love the little egg with the girl inside, not what you'd expect!

I found some old chocolate posters from the 50's in the wash house and had planned on sharing them for Joan's party as one is for Easter. I just didn't get it done though. Hopefully the kids will be better soon and I'll get it done later this week.
Hugs,
Dawn

Monica@The White Bench said...

Hello Carol,
I am partial to the tin picnic basket! But all your collection is fun! Plastic stuff?? If it's vintage, it's OK for me!!
Thanks for your lovely comment and Happy Easter to you and yours,
Monica.

What fun to see all those old vintage Easter goodies! I am unsure if I like the plastic, but they sure do remind me of my childhood. I love the tin!
