{day 2} Dads slide holder

slide holder, originally uploaded by MaggieRDA.

For those who know and those who don't, we lost my Dad to cancer in October. Since then Mom has been "cleaning house" (so to speak) and giving certain things of Dads to me or my brother. I inherited his camera, equipment and accessories. These were the latest in the handover. I love cool stuff like this.

Thankfully my husband bought me a special scanner for slides and negatives so I can archive all of these (I don't think he ever printed any of his pictures!). It's sure going to be a lot of work but I can't wait to see all of his pictures he took.

Day 228 - Vintage; dictionary

Day 226 - Vintage; wedding gown

my poor wedding gown (and veil). 17 years old. never dry cleaned and preserved.

has a small tear in it and stains from party goers at my wedding

spilling on my dress (near the bottom) as we danced at our reception.

yet I love it. I love that the very last time it was worn was at my wedding reception.

I love that I remember how it was torn and who tore it (quite by accident).

I love that I remember the complete and utter happiness I felt that day.

it was the most fun I ever had.

My old letterman's jacket. Boy was my mom MAD when I changed the name on the hood to my nickname after she paid for it.

Day 224 - Vintage; china cup
