As I sorted through my closet I found my bridal veil I made for my wedding 25 years ago. My mom didnt have much money for my wedding or my sister and we both got married the same summer. Lots of things were home made and the reception was cake, punch and coffee. Nothing elaborate – simple and elegant.

I remember sitting on my couch hand sewing each pearl on the fabric. I wanted just enough to have a special touch of shine.

My wish is this will be worn one day by one of my daughters.
