At Easter let your clothes be new, Or else be sure you will it rue.

Recently while sifting through the truckloads of catalogs, I thought there were a lot of fancy, dressy clothes. Why all the pastel, frilly dresses for spring, I pondered. The white patten shoes were blinding my eyes, when I had an igno moment!!(ignoramus!!!) My god, its Easter clothes. People still buy Easter clothes?? Their Ba-bas dressed to the teeth. I think I even saw a pair of gloves!!! Lilac, I want a pair. In fact I want Easter clothes. I miss them.

Never in a trillion years did I think I would say those words, much less put it in print for my mom to see!!! All my young life, I was coiffed, and pinched into my Easter Frock. Only the biggest crinoline would do. Everything itched!! There was even elastic on the hats, to keep them on the head!! The purses were to die for. Just big enough to hold, a stick of gum and your dime for the offering plate. Everything shined and sparkled and was NEW!!! but they all itched. No one should have to sit in a crinoline, but I did like to walk in them. Even as a little girl, I could strut a crinoline.

People don't dress for church anymore!!! In fact we use to dress to go to the movies!!! No more, its shameful. I'm thinking those Lilac gloves, are just the beginning of my Easter parade!!

***The little girl in the above photo, was miserable, but she loved that stuffed animal. She also was working those shoes!!!!
