Avery's Easter smock dress was one that her Aunt Abby or Mommy (we can't remember) wore as a little girl. It was made by her very own great-Mimama, so these pictures are extra special to us.
Another vintage item - her Aunt Abby's easter egg basket, also made by Mimama.
I love this stuff! What a lost art - and I think I know why...I started cross-stitching a few months ago and it's time consuming, even the beginner level. We, younger folk, have become so used to instant gratification that it's become quite a challenge for us (maybe I'm just speaking for myself) to be patient & wait for...well, most anything.
Thanks Mimama for your gifts of love & sacrifice of time. You are such an inspiration to me and all who know you!

The dress is so cute. I love cross stitching but you are right is takes a while.
How sweet.... what a special memory :)
How neat...
Avery looks PRECIOUS as usual :)
Happy Easter!
Avari looks precious, as usual. And I love the new header pic. And you, BTW, look lovely in the earlier post in your sweet white dress.
How special to wear a dress of mommys or Aunt Abby's and that your Grandma made it! Hope you had a great Easter.
That dress is so sweet! Don't you wish they could fit in special things like that forever?
Love her dress. She is just so gorgeous!
Love Avery's vintage dress! So cute! By the way, I used to cross-stitch a lot (nerd, I know), and I really liked it! I've got lots of stuff at the house if you ever need to borrow anything!
Love the sweet smocked dress. We are all about those family dresses :)! She is growing up so fast and I can't wait to see all of you again!
I love the dress and what a special story behind it.
LOVE that dress! I heart anything smocked. And loved meeting you at Em's sip-n-see! Hopefully I will get to meet Miss Avery next time! :)
