Esta saia em crochet, feita para uma menina, é para mim muito especial, de um valor inestimável. Foi feita para a minha querida avó, que teria hoje 99 anos se ainda fosse viva. Esta saia em crochet deve ter portanto quase 100 anos! É espantoso como ainda está como nova depois de quase um século! Lembro-me de vê-la em criança - e ainda bem que é demasiado pequena para servir a uma menina de 5 ou 6 anos (acho que deve servir a uma menina de 2 ou 3 anos) porque um dos meus passatempos preferidos nessa idade era brincar aos disfarces com as roupas antigas da minha avó (incluindo com um vestido de baile de que eu a a minha irmã gostávamos particularmente). Gosto mesmo muito desta saia e fico muito feliz por me caber a mim cuidar dela e guardá-la para as gerações futuras!
This is a very precious and special crochet skirt made for a little girl. That little girl was my dear grandmother, who would be 99 years old if she were still alive today. So this little crochet skirt must be almost 100 years old! It's amazing how it survived unscathed to this day after almost a century! I remember seeing it as a child - and I am glad it is too small for a 5 or 6 year old (I think this should fit a 2 or 3 year old) because one of my favorite activities as a child was dressing up with my grandmother's antique garments (including a ball dress that me and my sister particularly fancied). I really love this skirt and I'm very glad that it is my job to take care of it and keep it safe for future generations!
It's a lovely skirt! May be, you can try recreating the pattern from it.
ResponderEliminarYes, I thought about doing that. Hopefully I can figure it out!
EliminarThe skirt is amazing, maybe you should put it in a frame and hang it on the wall.

Wow! It's incredible that this skirt has been able to stand the test of time. It's in incredible shape for its age and is still very beautiful.
ResponderEliminarIt's wonderful that you have such an old and well-preserved heirloom in your family.

ResponderEliminarI love your little skirt. What a precious garment.
Thank you for showing it off! I wonder what our great grandchildren will keep and love.
It's beautiful, I can't believe it's that old it's in such great condition :)
ResponderEliminarHello Anna
ResponderEliminarI've just popped over to visit from Linda's blog where she has given you a mention. I was delighted to see this photograph of this beautiful skirt that your grandmother made so long ago. I am sure you must treasure it . It also looks in very good condition too.
I have several items of crochet that my grandmother made and I treasure them as well.
I am now your newest follower.
I have wonderful memories of Lisboa and Sintra which I visited with my daughter some years back.
keep well
