Isn't She Lovely?

Grandma would love the fresh slip that covers her favorite rocker... I couldn't bring myself to re-upholster. I just couldn't. I can still see Edna sitting sweetly in her little rocker. It's funny to me now... the rocker is soooo very tiny and I don't ever remember it looking to small for her. It fit her perfectly. Me... not so much. I love the lines of the slip and the all the little details in the inverted pleating and the mother of pearl buttons. My friend is very talented. I couldn't be more pleased with the way she turned out. Grandma would be happy to know that her little rocker will be loved and used for years to come. She was a frugal gal that Edna. I love her so very much and I will love to see Libbie curled up in grandma's chair... I plan to have her monogrammed in the future.
