I have been toying with the way I wanted to write this post
and share some pictures. I think what I
need you to do is shut your eyes and think for a moment about your
childhood. Did you ever enjoy playing
dress up? I cannot really remember
playing dress up a lot but at times when I was over at my cousins we
would. There were four girls in their
family along with a brother, but he never played with us. Two of the girls were my age then there were
two older ones. I can remember us
younger ones would dress up in the older ones dresses at times. I can remember a few lacy ones perhaps they
wore them to dances. The one fun thing
about dressing up was you could be anybody you wanted to be. The sky was the limit. It was such a good feeling, a feeling of freedom
and happiness; some of the best times were dressing up. Perhaps that is why I wanted to give that
opportunity to Eden Jade, my granddaughter.
So once again for Christmas I added to her Dress-up Wardrobe. I hope she will get much enjoyment from her
clothes and she too will have wonderful memories of dress-up.
She had a box full of dresses, purses, shoes, mink coats and jewelry.
Daddy thought he needed in on the fun too. |
She looks like a teenager from the 60's in this one. |
She is such a ham. |
Could be part of Happy Days! |
I enjoyed putting the clothes together for her. Most of them we picked up at yard sales and I just reworked them. It was a lot of fun! Nothing like making memories.
until next time...nel
My girls would have been in 7th heaven with a gift like this one. Me too : ) My sister and I lived in dress up clothes when we were little, and my own daughters did too.
ReplyDeleteOur girls loved dress up clothes too.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea for a present! Some of my favorite childhood memories are memories of playing dress up with my friends. She'll treasure these memories for sure!
