A little bit of history....

Another picture heavy post! Today me and my Mama were sorting through our attic - there is a LOT of stuff up there. We came across some suitcases filled with some of my Grandma's glamorous wardrobe. The suitcases are amazing, and so were the dresses. We even found her wedding dress which was so elegant and beautiful. It was amazing to see all these things that have been stored away so long. The wedding dress is from 1934 and the evening dresses were from the 1950s and 1960s. We also found some furs - a couple of stoles and a full length coat. Later on we also found loads of photographs, and the best part for me was finding love letters from my Grandad to my Grandma before they got married - from the early 30s, and also one from just after my Grandma gave birth to my uncle. It was honestly one of the best days to find these precious things which I will hold dear forever! Its really true that you can't put money on things like this which hold so much sentimental value. Here are some photos from my day!
