Sigh. Yes, little girls' clothes are so sweet.

Sidenote: We are expecting our fifth boy and our little girl is seven.

WOW, Ruth! You hit a goldmine!   

I love my boys .......but the only disappointment I had at their birth was not being able to dress them in all of my cute girlie dresses   

my youngest girl just turned 13 yrs.........and putting away her dresses breaks my heart (mildly, of course, keeping some perspective! )

I love dressings my 3 girls as well. There is just something fun and romantic about dresses and all things pink! I just finished making pillowcase dresses for 2 of my 3 girls and I posted pics on my new blog of hte baby's dress. I only finished the second one last night, so no pics yet, but I'll get them up soon. If you go to Amanda Soule's blog she just posted some pics of the outfits she made for her dd and they are so cute! Very inspiring!

Blessings,
Betsie

I had three dds in a row. Then the boys at one time. While the khaki and polo shirts are nice for a change of pace, I think I am ready for some more pink. LOL

(Did you hear that Lord? The oven is open and available for any and all baking that needs to be done!!! )

I want to go to your thrift store! Dressing little girls is so fun! We have 4 and at Easter it was the first time we were able to find matching dresses for all 4, it was so great! Our ds would love a brother (I'm like you Rachel--God the oven is ready for baking! ) but we do love all the pink and dresses. That said, blue is wonderful too!!! I am good for 2 at a time too
