In an effort to document my family treasures which cannot be scanned in, I am publishing this series of pictures as part of the Treasure Chest Thursday theme at Geneabloggers.\u00c2\u00a0 Someday in the future, I hope to shed some light on these treasures for my family who might inherit them.\u00c2\u00a0 What were they for?\u00c2\u00a0 Who did they come from? Why were they considered treasures?\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

Well lookie what we have here!\u00c2\u00a0 This one is a treasure, for sure.\u00c2\u00a0 It is significant on several levels.<\/p>\n

First of all, what is it? This is my garter belt from my High School Senior Prom, worn on the big night in May 1995.\u00c2\u00a0 My date for the evening at the Heritage High School prom was my boyfriend, Corey Sundquist.<\/p>\n

Why is it significant?\u00c2\u00a0 It has a Black Rose<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 That was my nickname in high school.\u00c2\u00a0 I instantly fell in love with this garter and HAD to have it.\u00c2\u00a0 I bought it at the mall a few weeks before prom and wore it under my prom dress.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, my hunter green velvet prom dress is also a family treasure.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s stored in my closet.\u00c2\u00a0 I had it handmade by a local tailor in Saginaw, Michigan.\u00c2\u00a0 I picked out the fabric at Jo-Ann’s and picked out the pattern, and commissioned the tailor to make it for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I wanted a dress that wasn’t like anybody else’s dress, and that’s precisely what I got.\u00c2\u00a0 I felt like a princess in that dress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
