This was always one of my favorite memories with my kids… and I have a picture of the two of them when they were toddlers sitting next to each other on giant pumpkins! Your pictures are really, really cute!
yes, bethany! we look forward to pumpkin patches too. something about it is so sweet and the kids love all the color and running around. you have to post the picture of caroline and nathaniel!
I love reading about your beautiful little family and I adore your decorating style. Strange question but pretty please can you tell me where you got those lovely red sandals – I would like to hunt them across the ocean for my 5 year old daughter.
Hello Australia! 😉 Thank you so much. You are so sweet. True’s sandals are called Saltwater Sandals and you would love them! They comes in lots of colors and also for adults. They are very, very comfortable. Here are some links:
Hello from Australia again thanks so much for the Saltwater Sandal details – I think I am going to have to order them in red and yellow. True’s room looks great and it is wonderful to read that you were inspired by Inside Out magazine – it’s a great mag. Have a lovely weekend.
My Brave has a new found skill of walking, therefore I made her a "walking dress"... Made of some soft, buttery yellow linen (the fabric is a gift from a friend) and is reversible with some vintage reproduction fabric. Come on, every new walker needs to be able to have free little legs in linen! Of course, a trace of her teeny footprints embroidered, along with a tiny "b", onto a sweet pocket is a perfect way to remember this important milestone in my Brave's life.
Then, True needed something equally as sweet. We were going to a jumper party, so she needed a sweet "jumper dress" to mark the jumpin' good time she would have... The lovely, chocolate brown linen (also a gift) would prove to be lightweight to carry her as high as she possibly could jump. Of course, the dress had to be a jumper of sorts to be sure that everything would stay in place as she tries to defy gravity. Plus, with all the kids that would be there (and possibly wearing jumpers too), I didn't want her to get lost or confused with someone else, so to be sure this didn't happen, her name was lovingly stitched in... So True is her name and jumping was her game... Well, it seems she did some tumbling too!!!
These dresses were quite fun to make. I have really been challenged and inspired by manytalentedwomen to make more natural, creative, and heirloom-ish dresses for my girls. I think it is so much more special to have a mama-made dress... maybe they will pass this on to their girls one day!
That first picture could probably win a contest. Gorgeous.
