Evelyn's Vintage Fashion Show

Back while I was pregnant with Evelyn, my dear mother sent me a few precious outfits that were worn by myself and my one and only sibling, Delta. It was so special to look at those clothes knowing Evelyn would be the first little girl in our family to wear them since those 30+ years ago! This was the picture I took of them when I received them and vowed to be sure to have Evelyn wear them even if for a fashion photo opp such as this!

I even had packed her hospital bag with one of those precious dresses. This picture was taken at 4 days old when we were leaving the hospital. She was wearing the dress Aunt Delta wore home from the hospital (I think I have that right). 

Now, the rest of the pictures I took tonight, just shy of 10 weeks old. My beautiful little chubby chin girl was almost too big already for some of these outfits (much like her mother was at BIRTH). She also will definitely be too big to actually wear them out when it is warm enough. So, on with the "fashion show" to preserve these precious heirlooms. I also should add I think she liked the fashion show and kept cooing with me when I dressed her. (Delta, I wonder if she'll eventually play fashion show like we did outside under the swing set.)

I know this seems so silly, but it is such a blessing to be able to share the smallest memories with a daughter. Thank you, Mom, for handing down these precious pieces of clothing. I love that I can preserve them this way as well and that Evelyn can have these beautiful pieces from both her Mommy and her dear Aunt Delta. I love my family!
