Re: Keeping things for a rainy day.
Yes.......I do....and so does Ma. When we went over to Oz to see my sister Ma had a birthday and I bought her a lovely vintage cotton(fine lawn) embroidered nightdress....it was gorgeous and it wasn't cheap either.
I was looking for some extra blankets for her bed during the winter cold spell and there it was still wrapped in its tissue paper.....in a cellophane bag...price still on it.
I asked her why she hasn't used it......she said it was too beautiful to wear, and that she might choose it for her laying out gown......the hell she will!
