What’s old is new again!! I simply love the traditions of keeping the “first”. I have locks of hair (from the first hair cut), baby shoes, first outfits and (I hate to say this because it sounds morbid to some) but baby teeth. I also preserved the Christening gowns in the hope they will use them for their first child. My youngest had her gown made from my wedding dress and it is spectacular. Thank you, Bigg Redd.. you made my day!!

What a wonderful heirloom!
We have in my family a baptismal gown, purchased by my mother for her first grandchild in 1958. It was worn by most of my mother’s 29 grandchildren and by most of her great-grandchildren, including my 3 magnificent grandsons.
