In my never-ending quest to become a better photographer, I took some photos of our entryway the other day while there was some nice natural light coming through the front door. I guess I'm living proof that someone with a good camera does not automatically take great pictures, any more than is anyone with a fine sewing machine a great seamstress! I'll keep trying. Mainly though, I like these photos because they portray two of my loves, namely, chippy whites and old children's clothing.

I love the chippy paint on this old fireplace
mantel top...
Beautiful little boy's dress shown with
an old photo of a boy wearing a similar
dress. Can you believe that the Victorians
dressed their small sons in dresses?
A close-up of the dress showing all
of the tiny buttons, along with the belt, which
has another two buttons! When I was ironing this,
I couldn't help but wonder how much
time a mother spent buttoning this dress,
for a boy no less! Not to mention how
hard it was to iron these...
Be thankful for ready-to-wear children's clothes!

Hello Julian. I'm glad you like the blog. Come back and visit anytime! Sue
DeleteI love chippy whites and children's clothing as well...and this boy's dress is incredible. I've never seen one like it. No, I don't think I'd relish ironing that and ready to wear, wash and wear clothing for children is and was such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteHello Sherry! I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for chippy whites. And as for the little dress, I bought it locally. I love it too! Sue
