for the clothing collection and the beginning of bag number three. Today was not a productive day (Mondays are usually spectacularly bad motivation wise for me), however I did manage to fill another bag to add to yesterday´s one and sort out baby clothes to be washed. Now I just have to wait for the next collection notice to be pinned to the front door of the apartment block in front of us.
I also decided to (sob) get rid of my wedding dress which inadvertently came up from the storage too. I am going to do what my mother did and cut the lace off to keep- she gave it to me and I sewed it onto my veil (which is stored away in tissue paper). The dress itself is not worth keeping – it is stained in some places that the dry cleaners weren´t able to get out, it was inexpensive, even though silk, never meant to be an heirloom – it´s now clutter. I have the memories and the lace from the bodice will be enough to pass down to whoever would like a piece
