A Few of My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolly mittens!
Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Occasionally I am possessed with the spirit of Maria Von Trapp and those damn exorcisms never quite take. Hahaha. Seriously though, my brain is a pile of quivering goo.

Anyway, what am I blathering on about? I just want to share a few of my favorite baby things. Because really, isn't half the fun of having a little girl all the cutesy stuff you can put on her body and in her room? I sure think so.

There have been times I've gotten frustrated with my Mom for being a bit of a hoarder. She's not bad enough to get her own episode on that one show, but it's been touch and go over the years.
But God Bless her for saving my baby clothes. As soon as Ceci gains some girth on that little body she will be sporting this Oktoberfest beer wench outfit from my childhood!


Here I am in my parent's front yard in June of 1977.


Pilsner anyone?

And this hippy- dippy crocheted dress.


I'm not sure how I feel about the hat that goes with this outfit. It might be a bit too Holly Hobbie. What do you think?



My Paddington Bear overalls.




Also! Please admire our beautiful Ceci Pearl finger puppet handmade by her talented benefactress and lover of she-babies Karie Jane.


This is the last thing, I promise. Dragon shoes from San Francisco Chinatown.

  1. Those clothes are just about the cutest things I've ever seen. I especially love the crocheted dress! We'd better see some photos of Ceci in them when the time comes. The little treasures around her room are adorable. I love the not so perfect style of baby room that has special treasures in it instead of monotone kitset baby rooms. You guys have done well.

  2. I can't believe you have how lucky you are to have these treasures! I often wish my mom had saved my baby clothes! It will be so fun to see Ceci in those!
