Your post reminded me of how my mother dressed my sister and me in the same style clothes.. more often than not, in the same colour. The problem with that was she is four years older than I am and so I seemed to be in the same clothes for years as I grew out of my own and into her hand-me-downs.<br /><br />I stopped by your friend's blog to leave my good wishes.

HUGS!!!<br /><br />Those dresses actually made Anne of Green Gables pop into my mind. I saw them and went "puffed sleeves!" :p<br />They are pretty, even if they are pink... ;o) (as a redhead I'm allergic to that colour)<br /><br />I don't have any dreams of childhood dresses... but I do have some vivid memories of myself (or probably pictures of myself) in certain dresses! The ones that always come to mind when I think original childhood gowns are an Alice in Wonderland dress (my sister had one too) that my mom must have gotten us in '82 when we visited Disneyland, another I called the "heidi dress" very Swiss... red with white edelweiss stichted on it, and a yellow flowy one very light and summery. Oh, and one that I think of as a cross between an elf and a candy cane. Those 4 dresses... fun!<br /><br />Thanks for helping bring forth som fun memories of years gone by!CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-91190220759397381652011-03-14T06:27:52.012-07:002011-03-14T06:27:52.012-07:00Sweet photos DJan.
