Little Rovilla ~ September 1894 ~ 2 years, 11 months If only her Nina doll had been in the picture along with her! |
Nina, close - up. |
New discovery: another picture of Nina — with my grandmother’s niece, Mildred, around 1915! |
My 1969 Barbie in a vintage ensemble, created by my grandmother in 1965, based on a skirt and blouse -- same fabric and similar design -- that she had sewn for my mother in the 1950s. Once upon a time, Ruth Esther had a dress from the same fabric. |
So many women of those generations were expert seamstresses. We wore my grandmother's creations well into grade school. I probably wore some when we were classmates in Neosho.
