Well, it's been awhile since I've posted anything on Vintage Thingies Thursdays...but decided to do so today!
If you would like to participate go over to COLORADO LADY
and sign in! Lots to see!
Since it is my mothers Birthday this month....I will show you the dress that she wore back in 1931 for her first Birthday Pictures!
I framed it recently just hoping it would preserve it a little longer.
The material is a pink light weight gauze with lace accents!
It is a little yellow from age...I was really afraid to even hand wash it!
Now the little crocethed bonnet actually belonged to my Dad, (his Birthday is next month). AND NO- he did not have to wear it with the pink ribbon
Apparently my Grandmother (his mother) changed the ribbon for his younger sister when she was born.
