I hope I get this story right (and Mom, correct me if I'm wrong!) My Mom's best friend (also Ashley's future Mother-in-Law) made this bonnet for me when I was a baby, but it is made out of a handkerchief. The design of it is to be a bonnet for me when I was a baby, and a hankie for me to hold when I walk down the aisle. Precious, no?
(***CORRECTION: My Mom made this baby bonnet for me and I wore it home from the hospital! Even more special! :) Sorry Mom!)
Do you have any "something old" items you are incorporating into your wedding day?
Just have a look at my blog ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut this something old is so special that nothing can keep up with it...
Right, except...I made it.

Oh...and you wore it home from the hospital.

Whooops!!! Sorry Mom!!! Glad you straightened that one out! :) Love youuu.
ReplyDeleteI just received one of these for our baby boy due 7/3. It comes with a sweet poem:
ReplyDeleteAn Heirloom
A tiny square of linen
And a dainty edge of lace,
Designed into a bonnet,
To frame your baby’s face.
After baby’s worn it
Fold and tuck away...
And it becomes a hanky
For your daughter’s Wedding Day.
Or if the baby is a boy,
On the day he marries
This can be the “something old”
His joyful bride will carry.
