Sounds like great fun. An idea to copy—changing the theme, of course
How marvelously thoughtful they are! Happy holidays, Lillian!
It takes a special family with a lot of love to prepare these types of gifts. You are lucky ladies to have each other. Very impressive. 🙂
Such wonderful gifts! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Those daughters of yours are real gifts themselves! These are absolutely great! They find such interesting things – I think they must be searching all year!
They are truly outstanding treasures, Lillian. So thoughtful and carefully planned! Love shined through each giftz1
I love both gifts but the one commemorating The Christmas Memory is my favorite! That old movie with Geraldine Page is a movie my Nana and I used to watch together — she was my best friend much like the boy’s best friend was his great-aunt. I really enjoyed reading this post as it brought back such specail memories.
Such thoughtful and loving gifts and so creative – you’re three fascinating women! Also thanks for introducing me to the Capote story – I must look for it.
Gifts like those are much more meaningful than simply buying something to give. So interesting! By the way, thanks for the comment you left for me. Did you know that your comments are “no reply” so I can’t email you back?
No, I didn’t know that my comments were “no reply”. I’ll have to check that out.
Wow, Lillian! The time and thought that went into those gifts! Just amazing, How fun for you to open them, as they bring back special memories you have with your daughters.
I came back to the blog for a recipe and once again admired the gifts from your daughters. ‘The Lipstick Brigade’ sounds like a great read for The Ladies of the Book which meet as often as we can. I’ll bet you know that (IF I remember correctly), the largest training facility for women was here at Fort Des Moines. I need to get over to the museum again. Trust you and yours are doing well. Thank you, always, for sharing with us.
