Easter Surprise!

I was at my Mom's house cleaning and I came across a box 
that had my name on it.

In it was a bunch of stuff I left behind when I moved to California
in my 20's........over 100 years ago.......

This little box was in there


and this box


When I saw them I knew exactly what was in them!

Of course they were Grams......


Gram's peak a boo egg....
Do they still make these?

 My sister and I had some when we were kids.
Of course they are long gone!  

How is it Gram's withheld the test of time!?

On my camera you can see everything just fine.......

This picture looks like some kind of sea creature!

There are flowers, trees, a little cottage in the back 
and of course a girl with a basket and an Easter Bunny!

This was in the other box!


This was Gram's too!
The bunny and the carrots are made out of some kind of soap stuff.


The ribbon has broken on his little bunny ears!


Whoa.........not a good look Mr. Bunny.

But look at his cute belly button!!



Then of course, I have all my antique 
Easter cards on display!



This one always makes me laugh.....
She kinds of a creepy lookin kid!!



Everybody have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

  1. What fun to find those things again! They sure are in great shape still. And I agree, the girl on the card does look a little creepy. :)

    Happy Easter!

  4. How exciting...I love that you have so much from your grandmother. I have so much too and am so thankful. There are days I look at the stuff and it brings tears, but there is also so much joy....

    Take care,

  8. I've been thinking about those sugar eggs too, and would love to see a tutorial on them. I remember them, but have no clue how they were ever made. Love your vintage Easter cards. You're right, that one 'chick' is creepy! Happy Easter!

  9. What wonderful treasures to find Jane! So fitting considering the name of your blog! :-) I remember those eggs but haven't seen any like them in a very long time. And I love the idea of doing the vintage Easter cards, creepy little girl and all! LOL!
