Yesterday, I had coffee with an old friend from childhood. She reminded me that we actually met in third grade!
We used to play our 45 singles on her turn table record player listening to Michael when he was in The Jackson 5.
Growing up, my friend would go to the local bead shop, gather the beads that she bought, and make the most creative necklaces and bracelets.

Us seventh and eighth graders all loved the popular scent of musk, and would wear it any chance we got.

Through the years we've always managed to stay in touch with each other. To one of my great long life friends, I love you.

love sheri, what a beautiful picture !!! and the music, wow !!! a beautiful weekend wishes angie from Germany
You really brought back memories for me, Sheri. The musk (that was the scent of the day!), the love beads, the Jackson 5 AND the Osmonds! Yes, good memories....you are reminding me to email my dear old friend from high school..I will do that right now. Enjoy your weekend my friend! Anita
Sheri, the dress your mother made you reminds me of some my mother made for my youngest sister--very much in style then! We were lucky to have a mother who sewed for their daughters.
And what a wonderful thing to have a friend you've known since elementary school! That's a gift!
Sheri, This is a great post. We do love our friends. Life time friends are the rarest. Blessings for a great weekend, xoxo,Susie
I had the posters on my bedroom wall of these and others...like Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy. And wow, Musk. I had forgotten about those days. A ton of memories just flew over me. :)
How wonderful to still have a school friend you are still in contact with and can send a valentine card to. Friends for life are rare.
Hello there my friend! I'm just taking a break from my relaxing reading time, and here you are! YES, I wore musk too! And like you, my sweet mother sewed all my clothing, especially the latest fashions. I even helped design/alter patterns to tweak some of McCall's or Butterick or Simplicity patterns! Remember those?
I emailed my friend this morning; I don't have her number, but hopefully she'll respond.
Enjoy your day sweet one! Anita
Oh-I remember musk- I wore Strawberry musk when I was young. lol Love the necklace AND the dress. I remember those! xo Diana
Oh what a fun post and my goodness, it really brought back so many memories for me. I used to love the Jackson 5 and my sister was so in love with Michael Jackson. I used to wear musk, too. Well, that and Jean Nate. Oh and I loved that picture of you from back in the day, too. Have a fabulous weekend... :)
Dear Sheri,
How lovely to be still in touch with an old school friend. I think that is wonderful.
I often think of some of my school friends, and wonder where they all are today.

Dearest Sheri,
Memories are forever, and you have such a lovely one here.. How wonderful to still be in touch with a childhood friend. My dad use to say, if you have one real friend, you are blessed.
Enjoy your weekend.

Oh how beautiful to stay in touch with a childhood friend. You are so beautiful Sheri then and now.
Now I am feeling nostalgic.
Have a good weekend dear.
To have a lifelong friend is indeed a special thing. Something to be treasured for sure. You made me smile, I too remember the scent of musk. It was all the rage.
What a wonderful post; this post brought back many good memories from that time. It is a lovely sentiment to your friend. xoxo Catherine

To meet an old friend that you had shared so many moments together? Wow! I can imagine the atmosphere!

A lovely post full of happy memories Sheri. I still remember little Michael Jackson singing Ben (loved it!)
You girls would have enjoyed all the beaded necklaces back in those days. I still see a friend from school too, and while she lives in another state, when we meet we continue the conversation as if we'd only seen each other yesterday!

Thank you for your wonderful comment on my post Sheri! It's always so good to hear from you. The photos of my plants are taken with a Canon 600D DSLR, and I like to use it whenever I have a chance, which is not very often these days.
Sheri, you are so lucky to be able to keep friendship with your school friend. I enjoyed reading your reflection. Wish you an excellent week! Bx

Hi Dear Sheri!
Back from my delightful visit to celebrate Molly's Birthday and stopping by for a little visit. Of course this tender, loving and happy post brought back such wonderful memories and I really do remember musk! I am so thankful you have nourished your childhood friendships-they are most wonderful aren't they...
Love,
Jemma
Oh, I remember playing Michael's records and wearing musk. Sigh...time flies. You look so pretty in your beads.
xoxo
