Legacy Overalls

After my grandmother died in 2005, we found a treasure trove of clothing in her house. My grandmother was a true seamstress--she furnished her home with money she made from her monogramming and other sewing. Anyway, one of my favorite things we found were these overalls that she embroidered for my sister when she was about two. She put the names of all the important people and places in Lesley's life on them and I think they are so cute! Here's a look:

And a closeup of my Nanny's handiwork:

I'm taking extra good care of these so my future grandkids can wear them, too!
