I asked my Mom to recount the pretty pink fabric story. From my Mom.
Last week my nearly 10 year old granddaughter, Esther, and I were able to spend some 'girl' time with each other.
One of the things I wanted to do was to have her choose a piece of fabric for a dress I wanted to make her, so we headed for JoAnn's to see what we could find. I love to walk into that store. It is super stimulating for me; all the colors and textures grab my attention and my creativity gets stirred up. Well, I noticed, it was having the same effect on Essy, too.
We were leisurely strolling through the aisles and came upon the bridal section, and she moved to a pale pink sheer covered with tiny raindrop like sparkles. She carefully held it out and wrapped herself in it, while it was still on the bolt. I asked her if she had that piece, what would she do with it? With a dreamy expression on her face and without thinking she said, 'I would just look at it, Gramma.' She has that piece now, along with the piece we got for her dress, and I imagine she has it draped on her bed, so she can 'just look at it'!
Now me =D The funny thing was someone asked her if I had anything like that....that I just looked at. She said "No. Mamma would say if you don't use it get rid of it!" True! We won't be getting rid of that fabric though. Oh, and it IS draped around the headboard slats =D

Somehow I knew that! : )
That is so sweet! And your words, sound like the words of a wise Momma who has moved a lot in the last few years. :) Something, I wish I had told myself more...now that I'm packing. :S
So cute. I bet her bed is the prettiest in town. Love that idea :)
