The Happy Easter Egg Bra

French-Easter-eggs

Certainly if the Easter Bunny was a person he would look like this young man! Look at those sparkling eyes, soft hands, and, and, and… I don't know why but I think he looks like an Easter bunny don't you?

Pink-pretty

This little Pretty Pink Thing doubts my seriousness. Holding two rose wreaths close to her heart she prays, "God have Mercy on Corey for talking such foolishness on your feast day!"

Easter-Egg

Happy Easter in French: "Joyeuses Paques!"

How would you like to receive a Chocolate Easter Egg like this? I wonder if an easter shell like that can be found at the brocante?

I'll pray for it, "Hi God, I would like to find an Easter Egg like the one above at the brocante, please."

I can hear God now, "Don't you have better things to pray for?"

"Yes, Health, happiness, thanksgiving, a good dose of the brocante bug, and thank you in advance for finding the egg."

Easter-Bonnet

Do you remember Easter Bonnets?

I barely do… but I do remember the dresses.

Vintage-Easter-Postcard

If ever I had a bonnet like that (up above) I would remember it. Look at her hair! My mother use to spend hours doing my hair (everyday!) in fancy do-s. I drove me bonkers! I can tell you from experience this little girl had a mother just like my own. She has got some serious hair "do" going on!

Backdrop

"Oh -oh -oh, dear God, um…its me again, can you please forgo the last part of my prayer and instead add 'BACKDROP' thank you."
And because I am constantly praying, or talking, or complaining, and sometimes all at the same time, I am certain (s)he just shakes his head and says, "Yeah yeah yeah."

Easter-Egg-Bra

Well Dear God, at least I am not asking for an Easter Egg Bra… Though you are so funny you probably will put one in my path just so I can look up, laugh, remember you and give thanks….

"Joyeuses Paques!"

  1. Happy Easter Corey, May the joys of this special day of rebirth and renewal bring you and yours much happiness.
    My Easter is different this year, stuck on the sofa as I am with both feet in plaster, there is no visit to Mum, no out and about. Instead I have had a friend hide the eggs in the garden for Idgy and our Easter feast will be a tad more haphazzard in the kitchen, not the usual ‘do’ in the diningroom.
    I hope for renewal and a new life.
    Like your new bra by the way, tres bon!

  2. Happy Easter to you and family, Corey! Love the young Easter Bunny and the Bra.
    A busy Easter for our family, hubby and me both working. We still have lots and lots of snow up here, so no egg hiding in the garden. Just eating well and hoping the snow will melt before June…

  3. That last image made me laugh. I wonder if it was innocently taken or very much cheekily tongue in cheek…?!
    It suits your blog, and your personality Corey!
    Happy Easter to you and yours, and in Irish: Cáisc Shona Dhuit!

  4. Corey,
    You have such a delicious sense of humour! Thanks for the laughs.
    Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter and many blessings!
    Oh, and chocolate bunny ears too 🙂

  6. Love you little post today – and I think God has a sense of humor and therefore gave you, and all of us, one to use.

  10. That backdrop would be a great find at the brocante! LOL! Good luck with your endless treasure search…and Happy Easter!

    Love the funny old postcards, must say I’ve always regarded bras of any sort as woman’s most uncomfortable and restrictive piece of clothing, so I wear them as little as possible!!!
    Have a blessed and happy Easter and yes, God does have a sense of humor, why else would he have created us? 🙂

  12. The little girl with the hairdo looks so prim with her tiny piece of chocolate. Definitely not American! My kids are gorging on chocolate bunnies and peeps. Happy Easter.

  13. happy easter to you & your family!

    Love that last one! Happy Easter to you and yours (and everyone here). I must tell you that sharing French Husband’s scrambled egg recipe has brought me SO MUCH JOY. They taste exactly how my favorite little french bistro makes them and I’m thrilled – thanks.

  20. “Joyeuses Paques!” and Happy Easter too! I do hope an Easter Egg Bra just drops from the sky at your feet. So funny! I do hope the perfect chocolate bunny was found.

  21. Happy Easter! Enjoy the bells today in your far away fairytale land!

    Great Easter bra. Frank and I made our Easter bonnets today. I think that someone got our picture, if so I will send it to you.
    It is a glorious spring day. A bit on the hot side. Best to stay in the shade.
    You can come to Cassilhaus on a book writing retreat. you can wake early go for a walk to the creek or in the woods, then back home to write all morning and afternoon. I can slip a lovely lunch next to you door. Then in the afternoon we can drive out to the flea markets in the country, stop at a creamery for ice cream, back home for sunset on the deck and dinner on the screened porch. Frank and I both think that it’s a great idea.

  23. Happy Easter, Corey! You deserve ALL of the things you prayed for! Thanks for a great post!
    Kristy

  24. You are too funny. Happy Easter to you and your family. Alleluia! He has risen! He has risen indeed!
    love and hugs

  25. Ha ha…love that easter egg bra! I could use one myself! Happy Easter Corey!

    Happy Easter, Corey!

  28. Happy Easter and thank you for these gorgeous vintage post cards. I love finding these at les Puces. I think I may just start a collection. Sometimes you can find ‘lots’ (batches of them I guess would be the translation) for not a lot of money…!

    The “cup” of a bra is a “bonnet” in French. So bareheaded or not, many were covered for the fete. Hope you had a bountiful egg hunt before a brocante hunt for treasures. And a big chocolate bunny endorned with a bow for EACH of your children!

  30. Marie-Noëlle

    And has finally Sacha got his big chocolate, ribboned bunny from his Mother Goddess ???

  31. Corey, Your French traditions sound sweet and very Catholic! I especially love the Egg bra! Have a lovely week!

    I do believe that God has a sense of humor. I am walking testimony to that. I am so thankful to have found this site. I don’t know what it is about you and your writing, but it grabs the soul and makes it hunger for more.

  33. Happy belated Easter – Happy Spring!
    Love the first one – reminds me of the ring of roses they place on the winner of the Kentucky Derby – one of the sure signs of spring down south!
