Great Aunt Sibyl's dress

Now I'm remembering more things I had meant to post but neglected to during the first few weeks we had Charlie at home. We received one present in particular that totally choked me up as I opened it. Corey's Aunt Sibyl sent Charlotte this beautiful outfit:


With it was a note from Aunt Sibyl to Charlotte explaining that the outfit was made from the dress that Sibyl wore to Corey's parents' wedding. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? How neat to have saved that dress for all these years and to create something special for a grand niece. We can't wait for Charlotte to get big enough to wear it, hopefully on a trip out west to California to meet her Great Aunt Sibyl!

Next time we're up in Michigan, I'm going to try to find a photo of Sibyl in the original dress to duplicate for Charlotte's family photo album (which is where we put all the photos of her family members as infants).
