Now i am thinking that this is what everygirl needs around town - a set of handknitted bathers. Although i can see that they may work better for smaller children. Perhaps a cutoff age of 11 or 12 to stop any stray nipples poking through. Obviously Kaye had a VERY good knitter in her family - as you certainly wouldn't want any dropped stitches in your bathers!

I have done another layout using Sue's sketch turned on its side. The journalling says 'Kaye Gregory at 14 months in her handknitted bathers at Henley Beach 1950'.
What a brilliant photo Tracey - how precious! Just have to love those random black and white snaps that are 'older' and have so much story to tell. Your collection of flowers, little tags, gorgeous rich colours and that little oval with the date really add to the vintage / heritage feel. I bet Kaye would love to see this one!

And lol at your knitted bathers comment Amanda.....and would have to agree.
ain't no way this 40 year old would wear them.... after breast feeding and natures gravity pull.... those 'stray nipples' could poke through anywhere!!

Gorgeous photo and layout ... I have one of my Dad in bathers that look similar ... must dig it out!!
wow wow at all the texture and depth in your embelly cluster. and still not overpowering.
