I’m Baaaack!

I miss ye olde blog. I miss dumping my thoughts here on a regular basis. I miss having a journal of what we are doing, even if it is the overly-edited, rainbows and unicorns version. I really miss the free time I used to have, and would look for ways to fill up. Sigh. Such is life.

So, what’s new? Last week my mom paid us a short visit and brought with her a gigantic stinky 30 year old bag full of tiny stinky 30 year old dresses and hats and shoes. My stinky dresses and hats and shoes. When I was a wee little Leta, I hated dresses. Haaaaaated. Words cannot adequately express the contempt and revulsion that I held solely for dresses, lace (shudder) and bows. How was I supposed to run around and climb trees and kick boys with a stupid dress on?!?!! I think some of them are cute now, but I still wouldn’t want to wear many of them.

the worst one of the bunch

My oldest shares my disdain for dresses and I rarely force her to wear one, because I remember the UNFAIRNESS! and ITCHINESS! and lots of other horrible things that I associated with wearing them. Even though her dresses (that she never wears) are all adorable and itch-free. My youngest, however, is currently way way into all things princessy and frilly and dove headfirst into the laundry basket of ancient fabrics, begging to try on one after another. This surprised me. “Huh. I guess I should put her in a dress every now and then.” They ARE different children, not reincarnations of the same child.

 

All that being said, I do love vintage. Books and glasses and yes, even some clothes. And I might have plans for a picture of the girls in matching smocked vintage dresses. I smell a Mother’s Day gift for grandma in the making.
