A Few Words About Fashion

This post is odds and ends about clothing or accessories.

When I found out I was having a girl, my friend Julie,

who has 2 boys, thought I'd enjoy a girl - she

said you can dress her up and do things with

her hair. That's true but now I think probably

boys cost less.

Reason:

Last year (when it didn't even fit!)

(.......see? Girls DO cost more!)

I found and bought this cute little coat.

It's a cotton blend, but it is meant to look like

tweed. Royanne really likes it. We're hoping there

will be a Sunday that is it cold enough to wear it.

Royanne has a cute little book she got from her Mimi,

called Love From Woolly.

It is about a sheep that knits items for her

friends. It is a lift-the-flap book. Ro

really likes it, so to make it more fun,

I gathered items for her to put on while I read the

story: socks, gloves, a hat and a scarf.

The hat was a handmade gift from her great-great-

Aunt Jessie last year so I asked Aunt Jessie

for a special scarf to go with the book.

The gloves are actually infant mittens on a string,

but easier for her to maneuver.

Since Royanne has given up her famous

headbands, I decided to make her some clips

that I could possibly slip in without her

noticing. I needed alligator clips. I couldn't

find them anywhere!

I was telling our friend Miss Jo about it and she

had some and shared them with us.

I barely got them placed for this picture before she

started taking them out.
