Easter Basket Ideas

I loved Easter as a kid! Getting dressed up and going to church. Hunting down Easter eggs and devouring the candy. The fabulous lunch!

And the Easter basket. My mom always made sure to have it stocked with a little candy and a little something special.

This was some 30 years ago. Now that we live in the world of social media and Pinterest, the ideas and possibilities are endless!

As I walked around a thrift store last week, I thought “what would make a good easter basket?”
