Treasures From Annapolis

This sweet little baby gown came home with me.

It was alot of fun looking in the shops in Annapolis, and we found some treasures there!

This baby dress has a  beautiful yoke.

This dress belongs to Marlene,  she brought it to class to show me.  She was telling me how she had found it in an antique shop in Annapolis recently.  Then she pulled out her IPhone and showed me a picture of a pretty baby dress that she didn't buy.  And it was MY dress!!  The very same one I bought that is the top picture in this post.

How funny!  And lucky me, that she left it for me to find!

Her dress was exquisite and I understand why she chose it.  The yoke was made all in one piece.  Beautifully embroidered.

I liked the ruffle at the neck and sleeves.  It was a very tiny fabric ruffle, trimmed with lace edging.  Very dainty.

This is the inside of the sleeve.  I have to peek inside to see  how it was finished.  This dress was made by hand.  you can see how the fabric is rolled and whipped.

And this was the end of another lovely day.

Fun In Annapolis.

The quaint streets are lined with interesting shops.  This street ends at the water front.

Before teaching for the Chesapeake Treasures, I stayed a couple of days with a friend.

She took me to Annapolis.

Where we had tea in this historic Inn.

My friend, Barbara Meger is a docent in one of the historic homes down the street, so she really knows the history of this town.

Tea was a wonderful experience!

      They used a  tea bag caddy to serve Clotted cream and jam.  Very cute!

And very tasty.

We went into an old, old Church.

How I would have loved to hear this organ play.

The stained glass was beautiful.  

Every one of the Kneelers was worked in needlepoint.  And all different.

This is an old Sewing Chest.

I loved the Antique shops best.

The sewing chest was filled with a mixture of old and new notions.

More to show you from Annapolis later.....
