My great niece, Clara Jo- she's almost 3 weeks old now, but this picture was taken minutes after she was born.
This is Clara's cousin Grace. She'll be a year old on Valentine's Day.
This is Grace wearing her big old snowsuit- Grace's mom told me that Grace doesn't fit in her car seat when she wears this! But a girl needs a lot of heavy clothes when they live in North Dakota and want to play outside. I know, I grew up in the frigid North!
My Mom used to dress up to play in the snow-it was a very long, time consuming process- we'd put on long underwear, jeans, waterproof snow pants, suspenders, sweaters, scarves, hoods, jackets---and then we'd say "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom."- and the whole procedure would be reversed!
I'm knitting a pink afghan for Clara- I worked on it at an auction I went to last night. Isn't it cute with the embroidered pillowcase and pink buttons I picked up at the auction?
Another auction find- this shabby and worn coin purse- it's metal with a well aged tapestry cover.
And this Godey fashion print- which I've strategically placed to cover a spot on an otherwise beautiful cut work tablecloth.
I've added some collage tags to my Etsy Shop, and I'm going to try and add some flea market finds bits & pieces lots on Sunday. Let me know if you're looking for anything special.
