Smock dresses for Easter.

 

 In some parts of the world, smock dresses are worn traditionally at Easter time. In many parts of the world they are worn as party dresses or to wear to church on Sunday. They were worn by many generations, passed on from one sibling to another.  Many hope chests today, have these treasures, hidden inside, waiting for the next little girl, to give them a twirl.  Memories of spinning in circles, with the dress turning many a little girl into a ballerina comes to mind.

 These two dresses, are examples of just that.  Carole recently discovered them in her Mom's hope chest.  She even found a photograph of her, wearing one of the dresses.

 Carole is a grandma herself, so it is a testament to how well the dresses , stood the test of time.

 They can now be worn again.

 The smocking is beautiful.  The dresses made with lots of love and attention.

 Easter is a special time of year, for families to come together and celebrate.

 We baked yesterday.

 Chocolate chip cookies with chocolate eggs.

Have a wonderful Easter.
