“In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.” These lyrics from the famous Irving Berlin song will be brought to life when you visit our one and only Holiday Hats & Gowns (2313 Honolulu Ave.). Owners Lilian & Karla are known far and wide for their elegant taste. The worldwide hit show “Downton Abbey” has nothing on these two. The statement hats, Victorian jewels, classy dresses and gowns are all here just waiting for your private fitting. Lady Cora and the girls would love this place. If you can’t get to Highclere Castle try a visit to Holiday Hats & Gowns instead and then go have tea at the T Room. Easter stylin’ indeed!

There’s nothing like your very own Easter basket filled with all the goodies you love. I know we make them for others but this year I am suggesting you also make one for yourself. Did you know Montrose Candy Co. (2317 Honolulu Ave.) has Luhders fondant bunnies and Confiserie Heidel Easter chocolates imported from Germany? Yes! Right here in ‘lil ole Montrose! They can do custom cellophane and ribbon wrapped Easter baskets too! The one pictured here sells for $29.95.

 
Cute is the word that comes to mind when shopping Twigs & Things (2366 Honolulu Ave.). Little white bunnies with smiles on their faces and sparkly pink signs that spell Happy Easter are just the thing to add a touch of country cuteness to your home décor. Owner Cynthia Redden says hurry in for Easter flags ’cuz they’re goin’ fast! While you’re there, get your sniffer ready for the latest shipment of Yankee candles.

The Montrose Shopping Park is such a happy place to be. We are your shop & dine place with Easter themed treasures just waiting to be discovered. Thanks for reading! See ‘ya next week!
