My Grandmother's Locket.

My Grandmother's Locket.

ANZAC Day this year saw us leaving home before 5am to attend the Dawn Service 45 minutes away. This locket was given to Grandma by Grandpa, inside has his portrait, with him in Army uniform and a lock of his hair...(which Fletch thinks is gross and disgusting...)  :) 

Now that he is in Naval Cadets it just seemed right to put the two together. 

I wore the locket and Fletch Guarded the Colours at the Dawn Service, March and Guarded the Colours again at the mid morning service.

I am  so proud of him.


So this LO is going to White with 1

I have really enjoyed doing this white and gold LO.... Thanks Sandra xo
