My Aunt made a blue garter with a tiny pouch for a new penny (year of marrage). Thus covering the blue, new and "sixpence". If my cousin passes it on, you have added the something old. The weight of the penny solved the floating problem. :)
De -----Original Message----- I've just recently joined this list and have enjoyed the discussions so far. And I've also enjoyed seeing posts from several old and new friends! My experience with the "blue garter" is this: Having attended weddings where the groom tried to throw the garter just to have it "float", I decided to weight mine. I made it with a length of light-socket pull-cord chain between the layers of blue ribbon. You just have to make sure you don't kneel on it! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
