"Fresh Fashions by Gigi"

note the use of both vertical and horizontal stripes.....the blending of "old" and "new"....

and a close up.....

Fresh, if you are new to our blogs, is the blanket that Gracie loves beyond belief.....we gave it to her the night we first had her in China. I took 2 blankets: "Fresh" (a carter's blanket), which is a waffle weave, the other was also carter's.....that John Lennon collection that was more of a jersey cotton t-shirt fabric. I didn't know fresh would be "special"......

Of course, it was well into their relationship that I decided we would need a "back up fresh".....of course, those were DISCONTINUED! Aunt Amy was at the right place, the right time and found one at a consignment sale......fresh then got a sister....."sister fresh"....

Look at the difference in them......so funny!

Gracie uses fresh for everything......a turban, a cape, you name it.....but most of all, a best buddy of comfort. Truly, it was the first thing that WAS ALL HER OWN. No wonder she loves it so!!!! It got the name "fresh" because when she was learning to talk, I would beg her to let me wash it and when it came out of the dryer I would say "oh, smell how fresh it is!!!!"

You know, I'm gonna be sad when Gracie retires the old gal.....

Fresh is awfully faithful :)
