Old Fashioned

Have you been shopping lately?  It seems trends just go around in a cycle.  Remember bell bottoms in high school that your mom wore when she was your age?! Or how about the skater hugely baggy pants?  Well I was shocked when I went shopping with Carrie for the first time a little less than a year ago!  Stretchy pants with floral patterns & skinny jeans the kind you would have been severally made fun of in Junior High! They are BACK!!  Who knew?!

Well I went shopping with her again this past weekend & noticed a lot of green and peach (I'm sure there are prettier names for them, but it gets the point across!)  Then I remembered Monica's wedding of green and peach & that was about the time my Grandma Nelson asked what colors I wanted for my wedding I was almost 15 at the time still had nearly 10 years before I'd get married & so I told Gram I wanted peach & green.  Well when I got married I wanted browns. :) Don't get me wrong I am SOOOOO grateful she did the afagan & quilt then, because her sight went bad & I would have had to do without!  It's sat in the storage container my mom gave me since.

Until... Jeremy wanted to get rid of a hand-me-down extremely heavy bedspread with skirt & told me to do my Amazon magic & just order a new sheet/bedspread set.  & so I DIed the old one & brought out an even older one!

My peach & green afagan with my green quilt!

Jeremy's first concern was what if we ruin it?! I had the same thought & pulled out an even OLDER one!

This is the quilt she made me as an infant & it is still in EXCELLENT condition! (Love the fact that it's green too didn't plan that one!)

And yes I did use it as a child even!  I remember folding it up & telling it good-bye when I went to school everyday. So not only was it used, but it was loved ;)

Proof that Nelson did start out as a happy model :) Just took mom too long to figure out the right lighting!

Check out his pose!  He does that from a sitting position.  Maybe he will learn to crawl & then he ends up like the picture above & just gets mad & is rescued, so probably not! :)

What fun!  Aren't you all jealous of my totally in style bedding set?!  Just have to wait a little while for things to come back around!
