Nice swim cap huh? A perfect addition to my collection! This one is a vision of tulle like ruffles in a soft lavendar and white.
Renee from My Vintage Mending sent me a surprise package with goodies and the swim cap was included in it. She also included a note with this message about this wonderful swim cap.
"The swim cap belonged to an area socialite who's husband was a big whig in Washington. Her home was a time piece of 50s house-wife perfection."
So happy to add this swim cap to my collection which now numbers ELEVEN. I still have no beach house to dispaly the collection in...but still wishing. Someday.
Yes Yes, I'm smiling :) too cute!
PS: Just catching up, your cherubs on your last post are adorable, too! Ours are all grown up, but yes, it never ends, this mom-business (happily!) Have a wonderful week ~ stop by our place some time too ~ love to have you visit! xo P

Grinning ear to ear and not just at the swim cap. Love those sunglasses. You could protect the whole family behind those babies!! Thanks for the smiles.

Tres chic! I want to see the swimsuit that one would wear with such a fancy swim cap. I can only imagine.

Of course I'm smiling, your blog always makes me smile :) Adorable swim cap. Wonder who the socialite was since Renee and I are from the same neck of the woods??
