So...if you follow my blog, you know that we have been at my 88 year old mother's place, to help her with health issues and with her many possessions. In her closet we found several boxes...but this one was special...and we opened it to find beautiful silk fabrics...
She casually says, "Oh, these
are my honeymoon nightgowns."
Our daughter, Emily and I are looking at each other... like we can't believe it...this is
lovely lingerie... from 1946. These nighties are beautiful...elegant. They have been in a box for over 60 years.
Well.....now... they are here at my house, safely stored away. Two nightgowns...two granddaughters...precious keepsakes.

Oh my! Those are gorgeous! I am not leaving my kids anything like that...I decided that I am using everything to its full potential...no more keeping china in the hutch or saving things for "special" cuz that time will never come.- BUT it is very cool that your girls have some vintage cool things...but remind them to use them!!
What a beautiful treasure!
