Zipper heart
This bow is a special one. Not only did Mama find it, but it's very original. When's the last time y'all saw a heart made from a cast-off zipper? I have multiple summer and winter blouses that this will match this bow, so I predict that it'll get a lot of mileage in the weeks and months ahead. Despite my animosity towards Valentine's Day (will be discussed in a future post) I do love hearts. Hearts are almost as good as polka dots. I like zippers too; that fondness stems back to my childhood, when zippers were easier and faster to manipulate than buttons. Don't get me wrong, I love buttons, but when you're getting ready for school and your mother is a teacher you're kinda on a time crunch of a morning. Thank God I didn't have to button my shoes, like Laura Ingalls Wilder and her sisters did. Heck, tying my shoes was enuff of a chore at times! I didn't wear a pair of shoes that zipped until I got to junior high. Have any of y'all ever...
