Who Knew?

That my nanny (my dad's mom) had all these great vintage finds tucked away in her cedar chest! I posted a couple of weeks ago about a tablecloth that I fell in love with at an antique store. I talked to my nanny a few days after that post and she told me that she had a bunch of old tablecloths similar to the one that I had bought tucked away in her cedar chest.

I was travelling for work on Tuesday to Springfield, MO. On my way home today I stopped by to see my nanny. She made me scrambled eggs and toast. She makes the best scrambled eggs ever! Seriously, they are amazing! I used to request them all the time.

As we went through her cedar chest she told me stories about every piece. She had tablecloths and pillowcases from her bridal shower, her veil, baby clothes, a vintage clutch, even an old Halloween costume that she had made for my uncle. Just in case you are wondering it was a Robin costume, as in Batman and Robin. She made a shirt, gloves, even a cute little green mask! It was adorable. I will be sharing all the great things that she has accumulated over the years over the next couple of days. I have a lot of pictures to share and I don't want to upload a million at a time. (That's right I said a million even though it is more like 10.)

I bought these gloveables for her! My parents were still staying with her after my papa's funeral when she received them in the mail. I made my mom take a picture and send it to me so I could see them on her! Aren't they the cutest gloves ever!?!

My nanny is the ultimate Suzy Homemaker and she loves the color pink. I think that she is where all my girliness comes from!
