For Charlotte's first Easter, I wanted to get her a really special dress.  And when I was browsing Macy's Backstage, I found it: a satin party frock appliqued with bright yellow flowers and a matching cardigan.  So I was only too happy to make it my -- excuse me, Charlotte's -- own.

The bonnet was my mom's contribution.  Well, that and two bunny-bedecked pants sets, but it's the bonnet that's important.  Because, as my mom used to sing to me, every little girl must have an Easter bonnet "with all the frills upon it" and "be the grandest lady in the Easter parade."  Even if that parade is just a lap around the dessert table.

Just as every mom must make a hat necklace to match her fascinator. 👒💐
