Waste Not Want Not

Lacy Things For Lacey and Jarrod's Day

The wedding is two weeks away!

We are in the final stages of preparations

and everything is going great!

When Lacey and Jarrod selected their

theme for the wedding I was thrilled!

Burlap and Lace?

How perfect!

I have always loved lacy things

and loved Lacey even more

than lacy things!

I think I'm in heaven!

Here's where this story gets EVEN better!

Jarrod's precious grandmother was a collector!

Her name was Janis Rodney.

She loved all kinds of things.

One of the things she loved was LACE!

She was from the generation

where people saved everything and wasted NOTHING!

"Waste Not Want Not"

Jarrod and his mom Jill 

gave me the most amazing gift!

A huge box of LACE!

Isn't this fabulous.

What makes this so incredible is

some of the lace had been removed from

the original item it came from.

Curtains, tablecloths and dresses.

"Waste Not Want Not"

I think our grandparents really had things figured out! 

Don't you?

Now this treasure box of lace has

been repurposed into decorations for

her grandson's wedding!

A piece, 

or should I say many pieces of her

 will fill our day with love and joy.

We are grateful and will always

treasure her gift 

for

Lacey and Jarrod's

Happily Ever After!
