I'm so surprised that it was left behind. A lot of folks have no appreciation for vintage things, even if it is a family heirloom. But I would have thought they would have maybe tried to sell it or give it to a vintage shop, instead of just abandoning it when they moved. Maybe that was fates way of making sure it went into your hands.<br />May I recomend that if you do sell the dress, you keep the tiara for yourself. I think years down the road, when your special day comes, it would be a really cool thing to have for your wedding ensemble.Lynn Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993492904050155464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-28301002652319864752012-03-17T18:06:26.212-04:002012-03-17T18:06:26.212-04:00How amazing!!!
