An Old Timey Easter Blog

I was thinking about things you don’t see for Easter anymore. Most of these pictures came from Pinterest or from an old Oriental Trading catalog from Easter 1994. Warning this is a picture heavy blog.

You don’t see the flocked bunnies anymore.

Or chenille chicks.

Or sugar eggs.

What ever happened to inflatables for Easter? I know that sounds a little strange. I’m talking about the inflatable bunnies and eggs. You just don’t see those anymore.



I used to have a rabbit like that pink one in the picture above.

I wrote about them last year.

I found this little bunny when I was cleaning out my storage space. I forgot when I bought it. (please excuse the picture quality I took it with my phone)

Finally somebody posted that Glitter Eggs commercial to youtube!

I made 4 screen caps of it.




It appears they still make egg decorating kits.


I had those one year they were a pain to work with, and after that Easter I was banned from having Glitter Eggs. My eggs looked nothing like the ones from the commercial, but back then I was too young to know they would not look like that.
My mom was a stay at home mom so she would be around when I would watch tv.
This is the way it would go down a lot.
Me: (watching tv yelling to my mom in another room) I want that! (pointing to the tv)
My Mom: Huh?
Commercial comes back on later. I call for my mom to come
Me: (pointing at tv) I want that!
My mom: No!

Another thing you don’t really see anymore is kawaii Easter and spring stationary.

I threw in some Lisa Frank Easter stickers for good measure. I know I had the ones with the bears and this one.



I liked how she recycled the everyday designs. I don’t specifically remembering having these stickers, but they look familiar.
