I'm laughing at the little one with the frilly dresses, my parents couldn't get me in a dress to save their lives when I was growing up. I was a total tomboy. As soon as they put something nice on me, I was outside playing in the dirt right away!

This is a little out of the subject area, but some of my favorite outfirs for my son wer actually my older brothers who wore them about 45 years before! They were handmade by mo mother and of so special to see him in them.

Hand-made clothes, especially from the older generations, is precious. I kept all the clothes my mother made for my sisters and I, just incase I had a girl. I didn't, and my sister didnt want them (not frilly enough I guess). I don't know what I'll do with them, but can't throw them out.

My mom had saved some clothes from when I was a baby. I kept some out for my kids, but they never actually wore them. I don't know why maybe I just thought the new stuff was nicer and not so outdated, lol.
