“Add Fresh Appeal to Each Lenten Meal” -Vintage A&P ad for Hot Cross Buns.

Liz Note: I just had ate one of these the other day and I forgot how much I don’t like them. Yuck! They remind me of fruit cake which I really dislike (sorry lovers of either dessert).

So this last image is not an advertisement but I just had to share because it’s a cute craft kids can do with extra Easter eggs.
