Starting a Dress-up Box

Did you have a dress-up box growing up?  We did.  I remember many cold winter days spent in the basement with sister and friends putting on fancy dresses and high-heels that were way too big.  Sometimes we opted for a tie and Dad's tool belt.  Well, El found the tickle-trunk the other day and came up stairs saying, "Mommy...look...me!"  I think the tickle-trunk is a hit already!  We'll have fun filling it with home closet finds and thrift store treasures to imagine and play with.

Yay!! Playing dress-up was my favourite thing to do when I was little. :)

Oh how this picture made us smile! The only thing missing is the red nose! We remember too, the many happy hours you spent playing with the dress-up box. Wonderful!
