Vintage Thingies Keepers

Welcome to Coloradolady's first vintage post for the New Year 2013.  After Christmas, I am sure some of her friends received some interesting vintage items.  Let's go check them out at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com.


I am trying to start the New Year off with a clean slate(closets) so to speak.  I have cleaned out one closet and donated so many bags of clothing,etc.  However, I have three items that I just cannot seem to let go, even though I do not wear them.

This  is LACOSTE Alligator jacket.  I think they were called a bomber jacket back in the early 70's. My husband I went to Branson, Missouri for a vacation.  It turned a little cool and I needed a wrap. There was an outlet mall nearby that carried this.  This brand of clothing was a big thing back then. I thought I was really in high cotton wearing one.It is in perfect condition and still the right size.

This sweater has been with me since 1967. I drag it out every year at Christmas time and wear it.  However, this is one year I failed do so. My family thinks I have worn it enough.

These are genuine leather, real fur lined gloves I have had since the late 60's. One of my dearest friends gave them to me for Christmas that year. Since she moved out of state, I do not see her often.  They are very special to me.

2013 REDnesday

Sharing my first 2013 Rednesday with a touch of snow in Sue's Very Cherry World  We had a little snow in Texas, but these sights are not from anywhere around here.  A friend shared them with me. Hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.  If you go to http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com, you will find many more interesting reds.

Cherished Moments Tuesday With MeMe

Best Wishes to all for a

CHRISTMAS
Lasting Memories

Christmas has come and gone and the New Year has rung in.  However, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know I was very, very blessed in so many ways during the holidays. Santa came to see me from many places. My blogging friends were great with all their gifts and well wishes.  I am very honored and thankful to have been remembered by each and everyone. Even my Christmas cactus bloomed on the right day.

 

This little magnet really touched me. I received it from a blogging friend that has had a hard row to hoe for sometime. She took the time to think of me and spent money she could have used for her needs. I can never find the right words to express my gratitude to her. She definitely put the true meaning back into CHRISTmas.


However, one of the most meaningful and memorial things to me, was my visit to the nursing home. They loved it and so did I. Turned out I came away blessed as much as they were.

Speaking of seniors (me), there were some very nice Santa Elves that really made my  Christmas extra special.Their visit was totally unexpected.

Santa's Elves were really busy. They stopped first in Oregon to pick up some great lavender products. (Shown on Wednesday, December 26). After that, they went to Broken Arrow, Okla and picked up another lovely gift. That is not all, the Elves next two stops were in Texas. This is one occasion I will always remember. A delightful surprise. The only name from the "senders" were Santa Elves.To everyone involved in the process, a great big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.Your thoughtfulness was truly appreciated and touched me deeply. Your kindness and caring meant so much to me.
