All Easter Season
Calvary at the beginning of Easter, with flowers from the grocer
Did you know that Easter lasts 40 days, or even 50? It's almost done, and I've been doing Easter projects throughout, and wearing all the floral coords I can. So this will be a long entry!
Blouse: antique - skirt and underskirt: handmade by me - shoes: Bodyline - socks: Victorian Trading Company - pearls: vintage.
For Easter Vigil, I wore this actual antique Victorian or Edwardian blouse. I'm no expert, but I would guess it's from the 19-aughts, making it over one hundred years old. It's simply gorgeous, and since it has a few holes, was only 20 dollars at an antique shop.
I made everyone a chocolate bunny, with custom fillings. In mine I put raisins and crushed ice cream cone; it was really good.
I made a panoramic sugar egg based on the one featured in the 1939 children's book The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes by DuBose Heyward, illustrated by Marjorie Hack.
As you can see
"So she peeked inside through the little hole on one end and she saw a beautiful scene with a sleigh, and a lake with people skating on the ice."
I have only one person skating on the ice, but I'm quite proud of the ice itself, which is hard candy.
Here it is before I put the top on, so you can better see the ice.
I poured the rest of the hard candy into some Easter molds.
A casual Easter coord. Skirt: Bodyline -- necklace: vintage - everything else offbrand.
I wanted to make an Easter angel decoration. You see angels for Christmas but they're just as suitable for Easter. So I took a Christmas one:
Before
And gave it a white robe, flowers, and a scroll, as well as some repainting:
After. Calligraphy on the scroll is by my mother.
This was my coord for the Octave of Easter. OP: Bodyline - shoes: Taobao - brooch and hat: vintage - everything else offbrand.
I also made pysanky! (Not a statement of support for the government/military of Ukraine)
My birthday always takes place during Easter (on my golden birthday it was even Easter Sunday itself!) I think the cake was one of the best cake decoration jobs I've done so far.
Which isn't saying much, but...
It was a strawberry cake, we had strawberry kool-aid, and I wore a strawberry coord:
Birthday coord. Skirt and shoes: Bodyline - everything else offbrand.
And here are a few more coords from the season:
JSK: Jewelry and Sunrise. I'd just bought new periwinkle gloves that matched it exactly! They're vintage; everything else offbrand.
JSK: Bodyline - everything else offbrand.
OP and headdress, shoes: Taobao - brooch: vintage - everything else offbrand.

I hope your Easter Season has been just as fruitful, if not more!
