I have the first and third jumper in my size.  They are so comfortable. (I’m keeping mine!)

All too often, we meet our daily chores with an attitude less than cheerful.  Perhaps we think them unimportant or perhaps too time consuming?  I confess that there are times when I felt this way.  And then I realized what an honor and blessing it is to be able to stay at home and tend to my work.  Homemaking can be a burden or it can be a blessing.  It can be a drudgery or it can be a creative challenge.

Perhaps we can think of a few ideas that can help us turn travail into contentment.

First, we have three short sleeve white eyelet dress petticoats, sizes 10, 12, and 12.  My girls wore them underneath a lovely jumper.  There is precious eyelet on the sleeves, bodice, and flounce at the hem.  The skirt part is plain. The petticoat is 100% cotton.  These look like they run on the small size.  I am offering them for $5.00 each.  Here are pictures of one, front and back.

Second, we have some eyelet half slips, sizes 12, 14, and 16. These tiered cotton slips have an elastic waist and are all white eyelet. I am offering them for $5.00 each. Here is a picture of the half slip.

Third, we have a Battenburg lace petticoat. It is white with long sleeves and battenburg lace at the collar, bottom of the petticoat, and at the end of the sleeves. It is a size 12. I am offering the Battenburg lace petticoat for $10.00.

Shown with the battenburg lace petticoat is a beautiful cotton jumper, size 14. The dress is a nice medium weight cotton.  I am offering the dress for $10.00

Periodically, Little Bear and Me Boutique will be offering more Storybook Heirloom petticoats and dresses.  I’ve placed a section in the right sidebar for the Boutique and items.  Simply click on the page and you will be directed to the post.

Blessings

UPDATE

I’m afraid the Storybook Heirloom clothing items are now all sold.  I will still post pictures soon of a few more even though they are spoken for.  A number of people were interested in seeing them.

After achieving the status of ebay Power Seller with 100% rating (over 1000 sales in less than 12 months), I have decided to not sell on ebay any longer.  I accomplished what I set out to do and would rather focus on other areas.

I do have some stock left from my ebay store that will also be offered at Little Bear and Me at very little cost.  All items are brand new unless otherwise stated.

Payment can be made either by money order or Paypal.  If I know you well, you may send me a check if you prefer.  Shipping outside the continental United States will be extra.

Unfortunately, all items will be first come first serve.  Leave me a comment under the particular item’s post and/or email me.   If you have any questions, you can email me at gina.redding@simplyheartandhome.com.

The Gazette is a homespun online publication focusing on simpler times and the joys of homemaking.
