Granny Glasses

I have had these glasses for years. I don't remember when they came into my life, or exactly where they came from. I wore them once with a costume I made in 6th grade. I've never really thought of why I've held onto them all of these years, until recently. Gidget is a very girly girl, but she loves to get dirty. She loves mud, climbing, digging, wrestling...and dressing up. Shoes are her favorite accessory, with glasses of any shade in a close second. The day she discovered these glasses, she wore them out of the house, and to the market. She'd take them off, stare at them, and then put them back on. She spends a lot of time in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection...talking to herself...admiring herself...and smiling. I now know why I've held onto them all of these years. Simply put, they are just cute! I've always loved old things. I'm drawn to the color, the shape, and the sparkly accents on the corners. I have spent many hours just simply wearing these around when I'm by myself. They were put away for many years, until Gidget discovered them. It's so special to see her getting so much enjoyment out of them. I suppose these glasses will remain a permanent fixture in this household.
