Two of my greatest loves in life are babies and crochet, so I guess it is only natural that I love vintage crocheted baby items. Here are a few things I bought at antique shops years ago; I did not make them, and I do not have patterns for them, but I wanted to share them with you.

| This type of matching bib and booties set was very popular in days gone by. I love the colors! |
 |
| The booties fasten with little pearl buttons. |
 |
| The delicate rosebuds and leaves are embroidered. |
 |
| This beautiful little dress is one of my all time favorites. I have seen this pattern in old books, and I believe it was also offered as a kit from a thread company. I love the shaded green thread! |
 |
| It just fits my new-born sized baby doll. |
 |
| It closes with a row of little pearl buttons. So sweet! |
I wonder about the babies that wore these items; they would be older than me, now! But this just goes to show that if taken care of, thread crochet will last for generations.
