From what I've been told my dad's mother (my granny) was super excited to have a granddaughter and from what I can tell she expressed this by making me beautiful clothes until her passing when I was around 5 years old. My mother kept all the outfits safe in a cedar chest so that I would have them for my daughter. Literally half of Randal's closet are my clothes that Granny made. She can only wear a few of the items now and there is actually some dispute over whether she or my great Aunt made the yellow and white dresses but either way I am sure my granny would be super proud that her great granddaughter gets to wear these clothes.
I'm glad your mom kept those for you. I'm also proud that you can and want to use them. I hope all three of you can make it to Neeses for the family reunion.
ReplyDeletePrecious pictures! I am so proud of you, Katie, for honoring family traditions. Your Granny surely did love you so very much -- everything that was handmade from her was made with lots of love.
