My beautiful daughter and her baby girl, Francesca. Today was the day of Frankie’s baptism and she seems concerned as to what’s going happen next. The water was bad enough!!!
The Christening gown that Francesca is wearing was worn by her sister, Finley Ray last year and by her mother Chiara, 34 years ago. In 1977 I purchased the gown from an antique dealer I knew who dealt in vintage baby clothes. At that time, she said the gown was 50 years old.
It was thrilling for me to see this beautiful piece of antique linen, a family heirloom now, worn by the youngest family member. And isn’t she just beautiful too?
