About twenty years ago, my cousin Gillian gave Steph a denim jacket- it was her 'music festival jacket' - which she'd worn to countless concerts in her teens and twenties. Steph wore it- but she too grew out of it, and it was relegated to my spare wardrobe. Last month, I helped Julian sort his Mum's wardrobe, and I brought back a short kimono style satin dressing gown, a white summer top, and a red polycotton Wilko Shirt [they don't wear that style anymore]
Wilko shirt - work, kimono- rest, jacket and top - play.
That's beautiful. Peggy will love it!! I think the Wilko logo works really well.
ReplyDeleteI still wear a white and blue checked shirt which belonged to my nan even though she died 25 years ago. The only wearable item I have left from Grandad is his school boater (which I wore as Yaz last week) which, to my consternation, discovered CBC wore for lip sync battle at school last week and chucked into the audience of kids as the thread has broken at the end. "I just thought it was one of your many hat's," he said, when questioned. Didn't seem to realise that whether it was a 90year old sentimental hat or a 1 year old Primark hat, I probably wouldn't want him chucking it into an audience of teenagers.
Don't worry, I'm sure it can be fixed!
DeleteThat is gorgeous, what a lovely thought and having the memorial words inside the backpack is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt is also a good place to put a tiny keepsake
