While watching our sweet, baby granddaughter, Cambrie the other day, I dressed her in the Christening dress that belonged to me. Then I made a picture to look like an old cabinet photo.
Irresistibly hug-able, this little one is 6 weeks old already!
Here I am wearing the dress as my Godmother holds me in the bright sun.
What a treasure, you have preserved this dress so well. She is so precious! I love the old photos and the sepia touch of your christening dress. Perfect!
What a great post of your beautiful granddaughter dressed in your Christening Dress! All the pictures are absolutely wonderful and I love the sepia tones!
Hi! Mildred was so kind to send me by..she knows I love the old photos..what a wonderful idea to make an old cabinet card with your Grand daughters Photo..and that gown is just beautiful! I enjoyed my visit here. I have several blogs one is called Forgotten Old Photos..you may find it interesting:)
I love your new/old cabinet card. What a great idea. Cambrie is such a beautiful baby ~ her eyes are so pretty. The black & white photo of the two of you is wonderful.
I never heard of the Sepia Scenes blog – that might be fun to join in on. Your scenes would be so nice for notecards. I really like notecards made out of personal photographs. Last year I took pictures of my friends' pets and made them into notecards. Then I packaged them up and gave them as their Christmas gifts.
You're granddaughter is adorable. I agree with Valerie that is quite a treasure to share with your granddaughter. I have always been a fan of sepia and your photos are absolutely stunning.
What a special treasure to have something you wore – and then your grandchild can wear. That is so neat. I love the sepia tones photos. So much history!
