Emotional attachment to things. Yep, that is me. I have a hard time giving away items that were hand-made for me or special in some way. The dresses my mom made - yep, have them. The sweaters she knit for me - still have many. Do any of these fit? No, but that doesn't matter. I just don't seem to be able to give them away.
Thursday, I decided to clean out a cupboard. Hidden at the very back was this lovely item.
Don's Grandma Nellie made it for us (along with several others that I must have already given away). It is a Kleenex box cover in colors reminiscent of the late seventies. I wonder what the boxes looked like that we covered. I am not sure they could have looked much worse than these.
Anyway, Grandma Nellie did some nice needlework - but this is one I have decided I can dispense with. Hope someone enjoys their newly adopted, retro, handmade Kleenex box cover.
