This photo of me was taken in December of 1987.  My fiancé bought it for me as a Christmas gift along with a very large diamond ring securing his future and killing mine, for a time anyway.  

I am a very sentimental person meaning I keep things forever that are meaningful to me or maybe someone else.  I kept my little girls best dresses in case she ever had a little girl.  I kept this beautiful nightgown and robe in my possession since that day.  Brand name is ENTICE by Bill Tice.  I googled it and found it to be VINTAGE on Etsy.  The robe goes for $13.00.  I was disappointed in the value for I had hoped something I had kept that long for no  real reason would be of greater value.  Nope, Nadda.  Junk. Four decades old junk.  Until today when my ten year old going on twenty visited me for a sleepover.

She loves to dig through all my shoes I no longer wear.  My makeup I no longer wear much of, my jewelry I no longer wear much of, and everything in my refrigerator which is fine. To my surprise she came out of the bathroom with a big Ta-Da! 

"Nana look at me!"  She was twirling around like a Princess. In fact she twirled so hard she went down and immediately back up she came dancing around like a Queen. She redid her hair over and over to look pretty for the picture shoot in her Nana's and Grandfathers memories.  Just hope that outfit didn't retain any old demons it sort of stands for.  Maybe I shoudda burned it.  O'well, too late! 

I told her that her Grandfather bought that for me before her mama was born.  I didn't tell her that may have been the reason they were all born. Bwah haha!  No seriously and no I didn't tell that truth. I just didn't tell. 

When people say to clean out the clutter, sometimes its okay to keep some of it, like this pretty silky make ya feel better robe ensemble. And so the camera shoot began during the sleepover dated today.  We pulled a memory and I hope that is all from 1987 to 2021.  Time capsule.  And here is his Granddaughter enjoying his gift.  He probably charged it !  Okay sorry...dont ruin a good thing when your on a roll.

She felt so beautiful.  I am glad I kept it.  She asked me to keep it until she gets taller and can fit into it better.  I sure will precious girl.  It certainly becomes you as it did me way back when. xxoo
