My teen granddaughter helped me clear out wardrobes.

Lighhthearted. 3 bags of crap clothing binned, 2 for her, mostly vintage. Still have overflowing wardrobe. Was asked why I had so many clothes ( usually live in jeans, and boots) Think it goes back to time of bringing 3 kids up as single mum, bills, food and clothing for them more important. Her expressions were priceless.

Ooh, what sort of vintage items did she take? I had a few wonderful bits from my grandma, including a sheepskin coat that I wore til it fell apart, a floppy corduroy hat that I still have, and a 1940s cream silk scarf that I also still have. I had a grey lambswool jumper from my grandpa too!

Nothing that meant a lot to me but she was happy. She's put her name to a few items when I die
