AW: Favorite Shower Gift


I had my shower on Saturday and I wanted to share my favorite gift that I received. On the left is an apron that my Grandpa (paternal) sent with my aunt. It was crocheted by my great-grandma that I never met. On the right is a hanky that my Great-Grandma (maternal) crocheted around the edges. It was really touching to receive these items and I just wanted to share.

  • super sweet! It is the kind of a thing I would want to wrap up and keep for whenever one of my future children are getting married :) I'd take a picture of me wearing it, put the wedding date on the back and stash it all away. how interesting would it be to unwrap it after years? :)

    Yes, I'll be carrying it wrapped around my flowers and after the wedding I will probably frame it with a little note.
