I must have won some kind of thrift store prize a couple of weeks ago, because I happened upon several yards of fabric at one of my favorite thrifting haunts.

This green was perfect for a little Charlotte, paired with a vintage pattern picked up at a yard sale several months ago.  I put this together in an afternoon, and she was delighted.  Unfortunately, my camera’s memory card seems to have given up on life and didn’t save most of the pictures I took.  Picture a sweet rounded peter-pan collar at the top, and there you go.  You can see it a little here:

This fabric is not from the thrift store, but I am very excited about it.  Baby blankets for friends (can you guess which one, Melanie?), dresses for the girls, and a few summer nightgowns are in the plans for this pile of loveliness.

And what day is complete without some button-sorting with Daddy?  Charlotte was most interested in sorting out the pink and orange buttons, and then counting them to make sure of the amount.

The button jars are usually brought out on special occasions, and it’s always a treat for the children to look at them!
