Back In Time
December 04, 2014
For my first Christmas, Aunt Grace, my father's youngest sister, made a beautiful new dress for me. I remember it, in later years, housed in my mother's cedar chest. It was made from pale blue fabric with little white flocked bits and had silk ribbons hand sewn around the yoke.
Today my thoughts are for my father who isn't doing well today. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
that photo makes me smile - the dress is beautiful and I especially love the tinsel glittering on the tree! keeping you and your dad in my prayers... xo.

Will be holding your dad in my thoughts today. XOXOX to you.
The little dress is very precious -- and that dripping tinsel is divine!

I love both your dress and the one worn by the woman holding your hands (your mom?) - all those little buttons! Keeping you and your dad in my thoughts and prayers.

The little dress is beautiful. I am in awe of our foremothers (including aunts) were so talented and generous. I recntly found some of my own vintage clothing, mostly made by my mother, and plan to donate it to the Denver School of the Arts drama department.
Our prayers are with your father.
