Blast from the past

Mom and I spent last week cleaning out her closets and organizing for a garage sale. A lot of reminisicing as we went made the work more fun. Below are some of the "treasures" we discovered as we went. This was a little gown that I wore growing up.

Kaylee's modeling one of my old "bad"- remember bad meant good back then- shirts. I was cool and probably wore this with cut offs - the real kind- and those sandals with the white leather straps between the toes.

We found a whole collection of shirt tales. Remember these little cartoon animals that solved mysteries every Saturday morning.

Our favorite find of the week was another Sea Wee. We knew of some that we had. The kids still play with them in the tub when we go to Nana's houe. But Mom was digging through a bag of Barbie clothes and discovered the blue and white haired Sea Wee. We were both so excited....It's the small things, really it is.....

Granny made matching robes for my cousin Amy and I. It washed well and Kaylee enjoyed modeling it. OK, Trent enjoyed modeling it too but we won't publish that picture....

I also found a barrette with ribbons on it that hung down about 12" It was made with black and white ribbon and had tri-beads on each end. I wore it in my hair most of the evening. The kids thought I looked "cool" It brought back memories of the skating rink, pickles, and slumber parties. All I needed was my trapper keeper to write down my feelings with a purple pen.
