Show and Tell Friday (9/07)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better!

I know I haven't done real well with keeping up with my Show and Tell Fridays lately. Friday comes a lot quicker than I realize sometimes. Anyway, I don't know how many of you remember this post back in July. I mentioned that my wedding dress actually belonged to my mother. I wanted to take time to show her dress today. They aren't the greatest pics (because I had to take pictures of pictures.....) but you get the general idea. When I wore it my MIL took off the sleeves (made a bow out of them for the back of the dress), took off the embellishment/lace on the bodice, and trimmed the bottom differently because I am taller than my mother and I wanted a dress that at least touched the floor (or came close.) ;o) So... here you can see my mother in her beautiful dress and their cake. Does their cake look somewhat similar to the one I had? Of course it does. I have loved that cake as long as I can remember and I always wanted something like it. :)

**Edited to add a picture of myself in the dress (you can see more pictures, including one of our cake, at the link I provided***
