family - Teacups in the Garden

After walking through the Texas Gate entrance to obtain tickets and a tour time for the mansion, I introduced little Miss M to the Washington family!

The fabric for both the sundress and the jacket were 1950s styled Aloha fabrics from the Gertie line that sold at JoAnn a few years ago.

I was excited my daughter and I would both be wearing vintage styled dresses, inspired by Givenchy fashions Audrey Hepburn wore in her movies!

When my daughter couldn’t find her dream wedding dress on-line, I told her I could sew a bespoke gown like Audrey Hepburn’s.

The last few years have been exceedingly troubled for my family. Yet through it all they fell in love, he proposed, and she said yes.

While my son set up his camera for engagement photos for his sister and her fiance, she took pictures of my dress with my phone.

Remembering 2004 when I led my young children on their first journey through the historic area, I had fun watching my kids carry on the tradition.
