Three White Favorite Things
These are three cherished mementos I have that were passed down to me from my mother.
Maria DeChellis DePasquale was my great-grandmother.
Framed by my mother is one of my g-grandmother's stockings along with a binding she used for my grandmother, Jean, when she was a newborn baby.
=
Binding was used on babies a long time ago (and are making a comeback!) to support the baby and give them
and added sense of security. They also believed their
babies would have straighter backs.
This is a picture of my grandmother, Jean,
my aunt, Deddie and my mother, Rosemary,
on the right.
The brooch belonged to Jean.
