Last year I wrote a post introducing my Great-Aunt Mayme and then another one in honor of her 95th birthday. When I was in the 8th grade (and there really isn’t any need to mention how many years ago that was, now is there?) Aunt Mayme made me a felt poodle skirt for a drill team performance. Although I hardly consider myself a pack rat, it’s an item with which I’ve never been able to part. Our homeschool group’s father/daughter dance this year has a sock-hop theme and my 11-year-old daughter is already dreaming of that evening and what she’ll wear. She was so excited today when I told her about the poodle skirt that I had worn when I wasn’t much older than she is. It took me less than a minute to find it.
How cute is that?! 😉 I have a photo of Morgan in a poodle skirt. She had a pink one when she was 3 or 4. I still miss it.
Did you ever think that your daughter might wear that skirt someday?!
What a treasure that skirt is! And completely awesome as well 🙂 Hope your daughter and husband have a really special time at the dance!

Now, there is something worth hanging onto!! I bet your daughter will have a blast, not only dancing with Dad, but looking so darn cute when she does so.
What a great memory making moment!
My husband has taken our oldest daughter to a Father Daughter dinner and dance the past 3 years. Last year our two youngest girls joined them. Now our daughter is married and this may be the last year she will attend, if she becomes a Mother before next year. My husband is glad to be able to take all three girls with him again this year. What great moments they have shared.
that’s a cool picture and a cool idea. It’s almost like time traveling!
So cute! I always wanted a poodle skirt when I was a girl. Oh, and I love your Spring template.
