But, as time passes, I see the real beauty of them and realize they are the style of an era, and will be loved and remembered fondly. Is this maybe why all the current or constantly changing choices cause us to like or dislike them? Just thinking...I love feathers, but don't care for quilting that is so dense on a quilt to cuddle under!
Well put, Jillnjo, I agree wholeheartedly.:) I have some from the 80s that no longer appeal to me for just some of these reasons.
