She had a bar of Dial soap in her cedar chest. I thought that was funny and I had to have a picture of it. This is a baby card from one of her showers.
It was hard to get a good picture of these adorable baby clothes from the late 50s. They were all ironed and pressed to the max. Apparently you ironed everything back then! I wish all the details of these outfits showed up. They were so cute!
My Nanny just knew that my dad was going to be a girl. She made this quilt for him. She told me that she would cover him up with it sometimes!
She embroidered all these squares...so sweet! She told me that whoever had a girl first out of me and my sister could have this for our daughter. (LeAnn and I are the only granddaughters.) Of course I took a picture of the only square with a stain! Oops!
My Nanny also made lots of little girls clothes for my poor dad! This is the most precious gown. It has little pink roses all over it. I took a pic of the back of the gown.
**Has anyone else been on Facebook lately?? I am lucky if I check it once a week. There is a strange hacker/virus going around. I had 2 wall posts from friends from college telling me I had been mentioned on a blog and that someone thought I was cute to find out where/whom click here. Do not click on them! Delete the posts so that no one else clicks on them. I also got paranoid and changed my password--not sure if this helps or not...***
Everything is so adorable! And how funny she thought HE was a girl! My parents did the same thing with my sister. They didn't even name her until like 8 days after she was born because they just THOUGHT it was a boy! So funny!
ReplyDeletethese are absolutely gorgeous! hope you have a girl :)
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt and those sweet baby clothes. I can't imagine having the time or energy to iron all the clothes though...I can barely throw them in the washing machine some days! Have a great weekend!
