~ Antique Easter Treasures Of The Past ~

As we decorate our home for Easter, we must take a moment to remember the meaning of Easter! We hope all our fellow bloggers and friends enjoy this time of the year and we must remember those before us. We hope you will enjoy our little Easter collection! Here are some German candy containers from the early 1900's-1930's. Made of paper mac he and their eyes are made of glass. Candy had been filled inside for the children and placed in their Easter baskets. This bunny carries a vintage flag with him and no Easter collection is not complete without a lamb. We used are putz lambs to also display our vignette.


This chocolate mold above has a little child dressed as a rabbit for Easter it is probably from the 1930s.


In this photo above there are some milk glass eggs and one egg made of tin from the 1890 to about 1915.



Just thought we would add some of pictures of our front garden flowers, that remind us of Easter as we walk to the front door.



This compote is filled with some moss and flowers from the garden and another candy container and a wonderful little lamb. Thank You for stopping by and seeing our goodies..........Julian & Ray Today I will be linking to ~ French Country Cottage~ ~ Vintage Inspiration Friday~ And also for ~Show and Tell Friday~ ~Saturday Show Off~ ~ The Table Scaper~
