Three Tiny Ladies
Well, it’s day 30 of 30 for NaBloPoMo, and although I missed a day I’m going to finish in fine style. I updated my walking today by a little, and I have a new-to-me item for show-and-tell! I’m not going to lie to you, this was a horrible month to try to gallop suddenly into daily blog posting. I moved, I adopted a dog, I’ve been working on two websites plus my normal job, there was a traveling holiday … I just don’t know what I was thinking. On the other hand, it was a busy month, full of change, and I’m glad to have recorded so much of it.
Back to the show-and-tell. I made a stop in at my mom’s on the way home from my MIL’s house the other day. My mom had a terrible cold last week, poor woman. It was terrible to hear her, although by the time I got there it was dying down to laryngitis. I was, as usual, rummaging through her stuff while there, and on this occasion I happened into the linen closet, where I found these things, which she let me keep! First this:
And this gorgeous fellow.
And these. Aren’t those just too cute? Kittens in flowers? Wow! Who does that?
The story is that my mom received these six embroidered, handmade pillowcases with handmade trim for her wedding from three really tiny ladies she knew grewing up in Demmark. All three ladies were sisters (Mrs. Houston, Mrs. ? and Mrs. ?, forgot the names!). She was married in … 1967? so these are around 40 years old. What shall I do with them? I don’t know. For now I shall hoard them as lovely memories of until I figure out the perfect thing to do.
