My aunt Martha's youngest daughter is only a few months older than Rose Pink, so happily for us, she has generously sent our way boxes and boxes of girls' clothes. We are very grateful.
Recently my cousin Brittany (b. 1985) moved to Davenport, and when she was visiting us one evening she looked at Rose Pink and said,
I think I recognize that skirt. I think that used to be mine.
Could it be? Could my daughter be wearing a 3rd generation hand-me-down? That's practically an heirloom!
And now we have proof. Here is Rose Pink wearing a dress that came in the last box we received from Aunt Martha. She calls it her "play dress" or her "pioneer dress".
I looked at it and said,
I think that dress looks familiar! I dug around in my box of random family pictures and found this:
Brittany at age 3. (Sorry about the poor scan.)
Here's Rose Pink again:
It's the same dress! Aunt Martha, you are busted!
I looked at it and said, I think that dress looks familiar! I dug around in my box of random family pictures and found this:
