Yeah I think I've always hated clothes shopping too... even as a teenager I wasn't into high street stuff. Thankyou Geertrude!

I always thought it was because I was fat, or because we had no money, but a year ago, when I was skinny (I gained a few pounds since then) and we had enough money, I still hated it. I only go when I have nothing else left to wear. Like last week. Bought two pairs of jeans and five shirts in one shop and hope to be done with it for a few months now. I do like buying vintage dresses from the thriftshop though, but I rarely wear them, that must be why I'm less picky with those. And the fact that they're cheap. Anyway, love your dresses!

]]> Comment on My *Great* Grandmother by EF x http://sewq.wordpress.com/2008/07/11/my-great-grandmother/#comment-1084 EF x Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:39:41 +0000 http://sewq.wordpress.com/?p=394#comment-1084 You are fortunate to have met her, I can only guess at what my great grandmothers were like. The both had reputations of being hard assed tight mouthed scraped back silver bunned type women you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of..but that is just a rep and nothing I can substantiate. I feel closest to my female ancestors when I am walking a baby in the small hours (most recently with my nephew) or plunging my hands in and out of the soapy waters of a hand wash. I haven't a clue who they were really, but I know that I have been taught to wash and carry a child by my mother and grandmother, and that they were taught by my grandmothers mother and that she was taught by her grandmother and so on ..... Your love of china will come from your great grandmother....and where did she get it from...that is the wonder. Me being me I always think, well, what did the china represent...these 'simple' domestic items held meanings for the women who came before us, and in keeping this love alive the meaning lives on. My grandma got a love of books from her mother and I still to this day cannot open any book without washing first. This came from the days when there were only three books in the family. now there are hundreds, but I do not take for granted what we have. In with the old! Out with the new! That's what I say ;) Loverly post Mrs Q, you are a dab hand at this. xxxxxx You are fortunate to have met her, I can only guess at what my great grandmothers were like.
