When we were moving Mom's stuff, we found her beautiful Brides Book. Somehow it had gotten stuffed behind one of the drawers and had been there all those years. I had never seen it before, so you can imagine what a wonderful surprise it was for me.
as well as the invitations to her showers. She got married in 1944.
I can see everything she got for her showers. Note: She got .50 cents from "Aunt Vada" hehe I guess that was a lot back then?
I can read all the "Advice for the Bride"
I love this book so much.
I have always loved the 40's style. Isn't this 40's bride pretty?
Here is my mom.
People have always told me how much I look like her.
Mom and Dad on their wedding day. Her dress was blue. I remember playing "dress up" with it.
(I think I might have posted this pic before. Sorry if I have)
Finally, I found this little picture at the Dollar Tree.

A marvelous post filled with so many treasures.
Truly it was buried treasure you stumbled upon! My mom has a scrapbook of her wedding and I have always loved looking at it and knowing what items in our home were wedding gifts. She still has many of them. Happy Pink Saturday, reading your post made me so happy this happened for you!
So glad you found your Mom's book what a treasure. I have my Mom's who got married in 1947 I love seeing what family members gave her. Love that dollar tree picture.
Wow! What a wonderful treasure keepsake! Lucky you! Fantastic!
What a wonderful find! My eye went to the luncheon cloth and towels. I hope your mother used her "wedding" linens. So many people didn't back then.
So sweet. Glad you shared it. Happy Pink Saturday!
You found a wonderful treasure in your Mom's Bridal scrapbook. Your parents looked very happy and you could share this photo a thousand times and I would still find it wonderful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful post with us at Vintage Charm.
How lucky you are to have found the book. It's so sweet and I love the old invitations. I love seeing the beautiful handwriting also. Your Mom was a beautiful lady!
What a treasure, Donna. Your Mom was a pretty lady. I can't believe you hadn't discovered this earlier-what a wonderful surprise!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Donna, this bride book that belonged to your mother is such a treasure. I bet you enjoyed browsing through it. I love the shower invitations back in the day. What a wonderful picture of your mom and dad on their wedding day. Yes, the 40's was a splendid era, and you will always have this special book of your mom's to look at and enjoy.

Oh, I love that old dresser too. It looks charming in your room. :)

Please Read.You have a great post here, Have anyone here know Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr jekawo herbal doctor hands whom god has blessed with ancestral powers and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Jekawo herbal doctor Email: drjekawo@gmail.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
