    This is beautiful, and white is so perfect if you're giving it as a give when you not sure if it's a boy or girl. Thanks for sharing, Mary :O)

    Such a cute set. It could be embellished so easily with buttons, trim, appliqué, etc. And it would make such a sweet shower gift.

    Thanks for linking to the party.
