(11,570 posts)I still wear my Dad's football jersey. This year my daughter got me 2 flannel nightgowns from LL Bean to replace my old ones because the old ones had so many patches that they weren't holding anymore and would just tear at the seams.
When I have to buy something dressy , I usually go to St. Vincent's. Can find designer stuff there from the rich Italians in town.
I absolutely hate shopping for anything. But I do have a lot of stuff I inherited from friends and family when they died. Cedar chests, a tea pot collection and so much more. I have the trunk my grandma brought when she immigrated from Italy. And her souvenirs from the New York World's Fair. Stuff I can't give away and I have no clue what my daughter will do with them when I'm gone.
