Thank you to many arachnids for their little messages about my completed
garter.
I was given an old silver sixpence which i did wear in my shoe. Not the
most comfortable though.
I cant remember what I had that was blue. Tomorrow is our 46th Wedding
anniversary so put it down to memory. (I think it might have been the
ribbon in the borrowed garter)
I made my sisters wedding gown in the 70 s and also made and embroidered for
her a little tiny draw string bag which had a design of horseshoe with names
in, flowers around etc which to my surprise is still hanging in her wardrobe
and she cleans it every year and puts fresh lavender inside. I am sure I
embroidered something blue on that.

Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue,
and a silver sixpence in her shoe.
We substituted a dime.

So what kind of penny is the lucky penny? Older, the better, is my
guess...
