Last week we took advantage of a spot of sun -- before the westerly winds started up -- and headed out to our fave park. It was a bit chilly but miss lady was more than happy to scoot around on our new giant picnic rug. It's actually a bedspread that I have repurposed for giant picnics. Hoorah!
My ma's friend Caroll made this little '50s style baby jacket and hat for the lady. Aren't they adorable? We have received so many lovely gifts and handmade items for the lady, the preschooler and also the teen, (many years ago). While I'm terrible at formal thank-you's I feel truly grateful for each and every gesture.
As you can see this lady is on the move. She wanted to crawl right off the giant picnic rug and dig in the dirt.
p.s I have also opened a tiny Etsy Store. I love hunting for vintage goodies but my home is bursting at the seams (or so the man feels ;) so I am going to share them with you! If you fancy a vintage item or two from down Sydney way, I plan to add more items over the next few months so stay tuned :)
Do you love giving handmade goodies to new babies? I love giving baby gifts. Or do you have a fave handmade item that was gifted to your wee ones? I'd love to hear.

Aww she is completely adorable. I love vintage baby clothes and have a little girl on the way so I'll be watching your store eagerly : ).
ReplyDeleteyay for your little one on the way! hopefully I'll pop in some cute threads too.
DeleteOh she's a sweetie! Such a lady! Love the knits (Sass lives in hers....I was going to learn how to knit, but I keep finding them for bargain prices at the oppie it just doesn't seem worth it!)...Also loving that you have started a store. Am so keeping my eye on that spot :) x
ReplyDelete(It's been ages since I stopped by and commented, but I've been reading and loving your posts, as usual) x
Deletethe store means I never have to walk past cute kitsch goodies again, right? ;)
Deleteas for knitting...I bet you'd be great! I can barely sew so that would be a bit too ambitious for me.
So cute!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check out your store!

DeleteShe is just too cute! Love the knit set- those are my favorites too! My moms best friend made a blanket & hat for Stella and made little booties and a hat for Ruby. LOVE these.
ReplyDeleteAlso found a great Etsy Shop (out of UK) that does embroidery name hoop ring gifts! I have been giving those for new babies. They are adorable and are such great/thoughtful gifts. -Well, at least I think so!
