Shopping through Mimi’s closet last week, I found some awesome vintage dresses tucked way in the very back that she hasn’t touched in probably 20 years.  This inspired a new series for my blog, My Grandparents Attic(actually it’s a loft, but I have on good authority that loft means attic in Danish).

My grandparents have some of the coolest belongings ever, collected through many years and much traveling.  Dadave was in the airforce and has been everywhere, they were even stationed in Okinawa for a few years when their girls were very young.  Not to mention he’s pretty crafty himself and has created some beautiful things of his own.  Since I’ve moved away, a few of these treasures somehow found their way to my home and I’m going to show some of them off over the next couple weeks.

And now, my ‘old but new’ dresses.  This first one was one of Mimi’s absolute favorites and I completely know why.  With that comfy elastic waistband, I’ve been wearing it around the house for days now.

Next up, my collection of antique board games, they’re really quite something.  And don’t forget to enter the November Giveaway for your chance to win free Old but New jewelry if you haven’t already!
