Tuesday's treasures
It's Tuesday Treasures again.
This week I hunted out something that reminds me of a special day. DH is the youngest of 7 and I am the eldest of three and eldest grandchild. When we got married nearly 25 years ago it was quite the shinding! Really we were very lucky to have had so much goodwill and good feeling on our special day.
Here is a box of mementoes from that day.
I especially love the rolling pin, boot and wishbone. They seemed quite unusual at the time.
I think I got so many wedding trinkets my arm was covered! Maybe all the horseshoes did bring us a lot of luck.
And here are some that belonged to my mother on her wedding day 46 years ago. (the little flowers are made of wax) They are a little discoloured but still lovely. She gave them to me before my wedding. I also wore her wedding dress.
When I emptied the box I even found that I had kept DH's flower corsage.
I am such a hoarder!
Have a lovely Tuesday!
cheers
