Playing Dress Up

A year or so ago my grandparents moved into an assisted living community and since then my parents, aunts and uncles have been cleaning out their old house, bit by bit. The nice furniture and all the valuable antiques and collectibles have been split among the siblings and now most of what is left will be sold at an estate sale this summer. Living out of town, and now far out of town, I haven't spent much time treasure hunting through the old house but when my parents cleaned out the closets last week and took most of the old clothes to Goodwill, my mom pulled out a few of grandma's old dresses for me to try on. Since I'm in town for a week for the Carolina Fiber Fest I got to play dress up today!

Excuse the bad webcam photos- I'm home by myself this morning while I wait for mom to get home from work so we can head to Raleigh for the festival.

Oh, those dresses look amazing on you, Laura! I especially love the first one. Are you keeping them?

Oh wow, those dresses are GORGEOUS!
Which goodwill did everything else go to? I'll send my mom over to get things for my sister!

I suspect my mom pulled out all the good stuff before dropping them off at one of the places in Winston, not sure where. I'm going to keep all of them, though I'm not sure if/when I'll wear them. All but the first are very tight on me so I don't think I could do much moving or eating in them!
