I wonder if you can make out what this collection is ? yes, my girl's teeth and hair. Too gruesome? Sorry.
One day I'll share it with her and she'll get a big surprise.

I know I would if my mother suddenly produced such a thing.
There are no rules except she mustn't know about it. Also included in there are letters to Santa, the reindeer and the Easter Bunny.
Of course as a total hoarder I have many collections. This other is a favourite too.
Inside these two card boxes are the labels off every garment I've bought for the last 8 years. Some are superb and I love the extra little bits, like the little pillow on the Peter Alexander one or the Keys on the Nolita one. I loved raised velvet writing, ribbons and little bags of extra sequins and beads.
How can anyone throw them away!!
I just love your daughters hair collection! bit gruesome but still nice to have. I wonder what she will think when she finally finds out...
ReplyDeleteOh I was going to post my kid's teeth too but they read my blog sometimes and I would hate them to see it! I love the tag collection too and especially the special boxes they live in.
ReplyDeleteHee! I love your collections! My mum kept a lock of mine and my brothers hair from our first haircuts, and she saved all our letters and notes. I love having them now!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have kept these things for your daughter! I think my Mum still has a couple of the first teeth i lost in a little tin somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteWow... that tag collection is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to remember that sometimes 'just because it's pretty' is a perfectly good reason :-)
gruesome??..not a bit!!..a little weird maybe??..i LOVE it!! and i alos LOVE the tag collecting idea..weird & wonderful :))
ReplyDeleteOh I adore your collections ... beautiful and so very thoughtful! the labels are fabulous, the hair and teeth, most of us did that with our daughters ;) I only skimmed the surface of my collections ... isn't this fun :)
ReplyDeleteI have a lock of hair from my first hair cut and have saved one from each of my children too. Never thought to keep their teeth though.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute and sentimental. I like that. Don't let your kidlets see that you borrowed their teeth back from the tooth fairy! xx
ReplyDeleteyou made me laugh and laugh. good on you for being organised enough with the teeth and hair thing. THe tooth fairy sometimes forgets to stop by our house and we have to wait a few days for her (how dodgy) we think she must be very busy...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully sentimental thing to do for your daughter, to look back on in years to come. Lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteThose labels are fabulous! Can't say I've ever had labels like them on any of my clothes. Must be shopping in the wrong places I think!! :))
