I just talked with my Mum about my grandmother and she told me that until she married she spend all the money that didn't have to go to food and rent on her wardrobe. I can well believe it. :)Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855154355147753086.post-73265861135161448172011-07-07T12:46:44.374-07:002011-07-07T12:46:44.374-07:00Please tell us a little bit more about the vests. ...Please tell us a little bit more about the vests.

I read that one of the most difficult but important decisions a woman makes in her lifetime is how she will dress as an old woman. I'm in the midst of making that decision now, and thinking 40's-esque vintage style might just serve me very well.Auntiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465800391971315416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855154355147753086.post-6421482999931978242011-02-24T01:35:22.062-08:002011-02-24T01:35:22.062-08:00Greta was a very interesting lady in every way:-) ...Greta was a very interesting lady in every way:-) Even though I didn't inherit her interest of sewing I have some wounderful memories of her and you talking about dresses and different kinds of fabric:-)<br />I think I have som dresses for my old Barbie doll that Greta made me in "Garbo style":-)<br /><br />/JohannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855154355147753086.post-19375177949539548012011-02-01T07:41:32.376-08:002011-02-01T07:41:32.376-08:00Danièle: Thank you!

I inherited all her sewing stuff and I think that I have managed to have something, if only the sewing thread, from her in every sewing project since then.<br /><br />Gentlewomanthief: She really was!

What a great inspiration and I love that she stayed stylish rather than going for one of those beige 'granny macs'. Thanks a lot for sharing these gorgeous images - she is beautiful and that underwear is amazing.GentlewomanThiefhttp://gentlewomanthief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855154355147753086.post-80551237570805866712011-01-31T06:45:18.475-08:002011-01-31T06:45:18.475-08:00What a great tribute to your grand mother!
