Sometimes inspiration comes at the strangest times.
My 17-year old son and I as he’s leaving to meet his dad:
Me: Give me a kiss goodbye (I make that strange little sound
when you pucker up)
A: What is that?
Me: It’s what Grandma Glynn used to do when she wanted a
kiss
A: (weird look) Oooookay… (gives me kiss anyway)
Me: I loved when she did that . . . She also told me that the safest place for
your money is in your bra.
A: Not helpful to me.
Me: (as he’s walking out the door) you never know kid! You
might get fat and bald and need a 'manssiere' like your dad!!!
So, with Grandma Glynn on my mind, I started to look for
fabric that might make a nice UR Priceless change purse. I think she’d like my
choice….
the pattern is available through Madame Samm's Craftsy page.
Big Spanks to Madame Samm and Katherine for crafting and organizing this hop!

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I saw your purse. First of all when I was 15 I worked in a "dime store" - this was back in 1961. All of the older women carried their money in their bras, pulled it out to give me to pay for their popcorn and I was horrified. I was a teenager, what can I say! But last year while traveling in Europe where did I keep my money? In my bra! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love your purse, the fabric is so 'in place', how cute and your story completes the deal, I'm sold ;-) (I don't know if you understand what I mean to say (yes, yes I like it!), sometimes translating is difficult).
