A Hat With A Past

Keira received a very special opportunity this week. Grandma Nancy passed down a family treasure to me that was perfect for Keira. When my mom was a baby her Grandmother Sarah Thomas knit her a beautiful pink and off-white baby hat. Which makes this precious family heirloom 61 years old.

Keira's great-great-grandmother spent most of her free time crocheting.
And grew up in the happenin' town of Malad, Idaho.
Her ancestors, the Richards, came from Wales with the Mormon pioneers through Liverpool, England Harbor to Salt Lake City.
Brigham Young sent them to Birgham City, UT and then later to Malad, Idaho.
And there they settled.


I think Keira wears the hat perfectly!
Doesn't she look old fashioned?

That little hat is darling, especially on Kiera! Recently I had the dress out that I was blessed in and wished I had gotten pics of my girls wearing it. Just didn't occur to me back then!
