When I Was A Little Girl....

This was my little dresser when I was a little girl.  I had a canopy bed that matched as well.  With a Holly Hobbie bedspread.  It was awesome!  My mother sold my bedroom set to her sister, my aunt, a very long time ago.  When my Aunt and Uncle downsized, my sweet Aunt asked me if I would like to have my dresser back.  I am a very sentimental soul and I said "Yes!" without a second of hesitation.  I think my poor husband said..."What are you going to do with that?"  I had no idea...I just knew that I wanted to have it back since I remembered it as a child.  This is what I remember about this dresser.  I was around 8 years old and I could not reach the top drawer.  So, my mama left it empty.  But, what I put in it was a different story.  My grandfather used to come over and bring me treats as a child.  One day he brought me a Hershey candy bar and I hid it in the top drawer of this dresser.  A secret place.  I guess I thought that if I could not see what was in there...no one else could either.  A child's simple mind I suppose.

I decided this past week,during my paint-a-thon, to paint my little dresser.  My favorite color....Pink!  Now she is living in my sewing room where I can see her every day.  I can reach the top drawer now, so it is filled with more of my treasures.  But not chocolate.  :)
