Cutie Patootie!

That's our daughter, Ruthie, in her new dress made for her by Solanah.

As a small child I kept her in dresses, but as any mama knows, there comes a time when they begin choosing their own wardrobe.  I support this fully and want our girls to dress for themselves rather than others, including me.  So the fact she has come back to dresses (not to mention taking a second glance at vintage) is a sweet one!

I have often read The Vintage Housewife's blogs about vintage shopping with her daughters and been a smidge envious.  Now I can look forward to similar posts of my own!  (her wardrobe will be amazing as I shop vicariously)
