Great Grandma's Gloves


This is my Great Grandma Josephine Carroll Christensen. She was beautiful lady. Since her family was from Syria, we called her Sithoo which means grandmother in Lebanese. Her daughter (my grandma) gave me this amazing leather-like gloves that she wore in the early 1940s. Some of the stitching is coming out so I know she wore then quite a few times. Her hands were very tiny. I can't wear them because my hand is bigger, but I love looking at these and thinking of my sweet great grandmother, Sithoo.

VintageThrift

Christmas is nearing so in order to have a local Christmas, I've been looking for gifts at the thrift store. I got some awesome velvet bow ties for my brothers. My grandma recently surprised me with these awesome gloves


The hand detail is amazing!

I love the scalloped edges.


These are white elbow length gloves I thrifted for $3.

All around good thrift. Oh, and I finished my Christmas dress! Pictures soon! Merry Christmas!
