Jingle Bells

Another page for my Childhood Retro Christmas album.

Christmas 1958
I remember this blue dress.
It felt special with the matching
cardigan and full petticoat--both fashionable
trends in the 50s. My mother cleverly sewed
a few jingle bells in the layers of the ruffled
undergarment...that extra special touch she put
on everything she did. The problem arose when
I wore the dress in public. Someone
was always searching for the source of the bells...
much too conspicuous for a shy six-year-old!
At my request, Mom gladly removed
the bells.

Another beautiful page for your album!
Love the retrocolors ... perfect with the dresses ...
 
Lovely page! That photo is the sweetest! Reminds me of a pink nylon dress I used to wear on dress-in-your-best occasions. It had puffed sleeves. Oh how I hated it!
 
.trs attractive retro page. The atmosphere of Christmas of formerly is restored well!
 
love the photo and your journaling! how cute that your mom put bells on slip! love the page! your album is going to be awesome!
 
What a magical story, Marnie. I'm glad you haven't stopped working on the RetroAlbum--I don't see a page for a few days and I get nervous! Excellent use of the artplay palette.
 
Love your photo and choice of papers! How fun to have bells jingling when you walk, although I can see it becoming embarrassing!
