back to my childhood

for the 10 things group:

#10: My antique canopy bed - my great grandmother made the canopy, and it was handed down to me as a child. It makes me feel like a princess. It is small, and creaky, and old fashioned, but I love it. I have been able to have it in my house for the first time since I left for college, and I feel like a kid again.

Blogged here on the 10 things "Flickring Things" section - thanks Stephanie and Janelle!

I have some old linens of my grandmother's that are not at all my style, but I love them soooo much because of its heritage.

Gorgeous light and shadows, and fabric, and it has a lovely mood of childhood freedom.

thanks so much axelalfons1, elizabeth taylor, wenjomatic, david bridger, JD Corbett, and LunaSol!

@ wenjomatic - that grandmother's family was from Atlanta, Georgia. She moved to Tuscaloosa when she married my grandfather (at 16 when he left for WWII), and lived the rest of her life there. My grandfather's side (this is all paternal side of the family) is from Tuscaloosa and Fosters, Alabama.

Great snapshot of your roots. Wow, I can't even wrap my brain marrying at 16 AND moving 3 hrs away AND having him go off to war. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful heirloom you have there.

Funny how it takes growing up to really embrace being a kid.
