I have had this little doll dress as long as I can remember.My mother made it.... I dressed dolls up in it.... I'm guessing the 60's but could've been in the 50's now that I'm writing this.
My sister claimed it after me.... but I retrieved it from a box at her house last year.
Michael's has frames and shadowboxes on sale right now....
so today I placed this little jewel in one!
Well, for now I'll stick with the 60's.... makes me feel younger that way!
I stitched one of my mother's crochet needles in there, too!
I love that little dress - what a sentimental keepsake! I can't believe your sister would give it up so easily even if it was yours all along. We need to learn to make those! VB

I had a time trying to get a photo of my altered teaspoon ... made me crazy! Natural light is the best, but I'm not finding it like in spring and summer ... won't be long now!

This is SWEET! I have embroidered napkins and placemats that my grandmother made for me 25 years ago that I keep saying I'm going to frame. You have inspired me to stop procrastinating and frame them.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! I remember it from when we'd go to Granny's in the summers. I'd put it on old Barbies, even though it was a little big. I want that shadow box one day!
ReplyDeletethis makes a wonderful display in the shadow box.

I would never have thought of displaying one in a shadow box.....what a fabulous idea:) I have an old doll from my gramma that has a crocheted dress very much like that, but blue......makes me wonder where it is now....What a nice little piece of history for you to keep.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the sweet dress! I saw those frames on sale too and tried to imagine what I would put in one ~ what you did is perfect! Blessings!
