Easter Finery

(This little sweetheart of a doll, all dressed in pink, is ready for Easter!)



As a child, remember singing the song "Easter Parade?"

It started out "In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade."

Another one remembered from childhood at this time was about Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail! "...hippety hoppety Easter's on its way!"

Sure enough, Easter is almost here. It's been a lot of preparation but well worth every second of work. It will be so wonderful to share with family and friends on Easter Sunday!

The dolly, shown in today's post, all dressed in pink, has a lot of bouncing brown curls and wears a pink bow in her hair, instead of a bonnet. She has the sweetest ever expression and smile on her face.(Click on the picture to the left to see her really close-up!)

She was given to me by a very dear person who knew the dolly would make me very happy because I absolutely love dolls, especially those dressed in pink! My friend recently lost her husband and this will be the very first Easter in decades without him. My heart is sad for her because the pain of losing one's spouse has got to be profuse. On the other hand, I'm happy her husband is at peace and celebrating in the other realm of life this holiday!

Also bringing happiness is the fact that this is my first Easter as a blogger! It's been almost six months since I discovered blogland and it's been a fascinating experience. Getting to know other bloggers has been terrific! Your visits make my day and always bring a smile.

Seeing people choose to Follow and/or comment is, to me, better (and sweeter) than a great big basket of chocolate bunnies! No kidding.

It goes without saying that I wish each of you a very abundant and joy-filled Easter!

SO WHAT ARE YOU FEELING THIS EASTER? HAPPINESS? RELIEF THAT EASTER IS FINALLY HERE AND WILL BE OVER SOON? NOSTALGIC? WHAT?
