All of this brought me several smiles as I found two of my dad's baby outfits, my grandmother's 1920's Flapper Coat, and several pairs of her slippers. I decided it would be better to let these items see the light of day and go on to new homes that will appreciate them.
Somewhere I still have to find my dad's old Navy Peacoat set that is similiar to this adorable Kute Kiddies toddler coat set.
My grandmother was a bit of a rebel when she was younger, much to my delight. Her flapper coat reminded me of all of her clothes that I should to a Hollywood Prop Master after her passing. One of her dresses showed up on Boardwalk Empire, much to my surprise. My husband actually caught it first, and I did lots of rewinds to make sure it was the one we thought it was. My grandmother would have been tickled pink to know her dress made it into a cable series.
Her pretty Flapper Coat was in the bottom of the trunk I mentioned earlier. I had forgotten about the detailed stitching that is so evocative of the Art Deco architecture.
I'm not sure what kind of fur that is, but I'm thinking Coyote or Raccoon based on the coloring. It's most definitely not Rabbit...it's not soft at all.
