Thrifting has long fed my creative soul ( more of an ode to my love of thrifting later).When I
was little I thought of beautiful vintage items as pretty "old fashioned" things,and was mostly drawn to sparkley evening bags, rhinestone jewelry, and delicate embroidery and applique. When my fabulous and spunky grandma left this world, thankfully my sister grabbed a sackfull of vintage linens with handwork done by my grandma herself. Vintage linens were always on my mental thrifting list, but I never knew what to do with them until my first daughter was born. I decided a wardrobe as unique as she was, was needed. So I chose denim as the canvas and combined my grandmas work with thrifted goodies. I was smart enough to ration my heirlooms out and my favorite piece, the little appliqued cook, gets to pay tribute to my Grandma on her youngest great-grand child.

I'm one of the lucky ones who has been afforded the chance to watch your thrifting, your creativity, your tastes evolve and expand over the years. I adore the homage that this particular bit of creativity pays to your granny, at the same time helping you give your daughter a foundation for her individuality. You truly do pass your generations down, into future generations. Brava!
