Today, Mother and I went shopping with a friend in a charming little town. There were such sweet little shops including one of my top favourites: Posies!
We also went to an atique mall where I purchased this darling baby gown!
Too cute, right?!
Such sweet lace...
Little puffed sleeves!
I am thinking of embroidering it, and saving it in my hopechest! My first baby outfit; how exciting! And only $10 dollars!!!
Mama sweetly purchased me two lovely, blank and lacey handkerchiefs!!! 'Tis so hard to find blank ones these days!
Definitely going to embroider these. Last year, I found one that looked just like the white handkerchief above from the same antique shop. As a Christmas gift for Mother, I embroidered the edges with gold floss, and green vines with red holly berries (French knots; my favourite:)
At Posies, I purchased this lovely note pad for $4.00!
Front
Back
Inside! It's French, English, old-fashion, has music notes, and a violin on it!!! It was a perfect find. Now, if only they would make lettering stationery! (By the way, I ran out of stamps for writing so much!!!!)
Also, Miriam from "Maidens of Virtue" is hosting a lovely giveaway!!! Go check it out!
Well, *Yawn* it is late, and I must start preparing for bed.
Love from your sister in Christ,
