Something old.......Something new...

My daughter was saying that she hasn't got anything old or borrowed for her wedding day, so I suggested my garter, but did warn her that at 28 years old it might have fallen to pieces buy now.


I dug it out from the deep dark bottom of my wardrobe and was pleased to find that the elastic still works and apart from smelling a bit musty (from it's few years in the loft) it really was use-able.




I cut off the horrible brown ribbon and flower thing (28 years ago, I thought it was lovely!) and sewed on some blue ribbon and a lovely diamante heart, and I rather like it!




That should tick a few boxes for tradition!


I have my outfit sorted too, at last!


It's great that things are falling into place, just deciding on favours at the moment and then we are done...whoop!
