    Here is Hannah in her hat scarf and little booties.... I LOVE the booties... they are draw string so I can tighten them to fit... all her other booties fall off all the time. And whatever kind of yarn this person used is SO SOFT... I want a pair of slippers made out of it for myself lol.






    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    That's an absolutely adorable little outfit. IMHO, if anything it looks more *girly* that for a boy. Your daughter is ever so precious and obviously if her name is Hannah......she must be a princess.

    I agree, I think that looks totally like a girl's outfit. I personally wouldn't buy that for a boy, but I would for a girl. I think the "blue for boys, pink for girls" thing is silly anyway.

    I am sure I've gotten some regifts through the years. And I've given some too. I honestly do not see the problem with the practice in the least. If I get, for example, a blue vase that I don't care for, but I know my friend has a bathroom done in that exact shade of blue and she would LOVE the vase ... why not give it to her? If it's right for the person, IMO, it's right present, no matter where it came from.

    Obviously, I'm not talking about giving something used, worn, broken, etc. And I'm not talking about passing off some horrid thing that practically NO one would like on your unsuspecting friends.

    Awww, Hannah is soooooo cute!! Her scarf/bootie/hat looks soooooo adorable on her - it looks so soft!

    I know what you mean in that its funny. I mean, she probably gave it as if she bought/got it ESPECIALLY for Hannah. That's the funny part...its totally FINE to re-gift if its new/newish, not damaged/dirty, etc. Its another to be like, "Oh, I saw this at such and such baby store and TOTALLY thought of your sweet Hannah!" and another to say, "Oh! I have a gift for your little one." I guess it doesn't matter either way, its just funny, like you said.

    I got a USED, DIRTY regift at one of my bridal showers!! It was from my step-dad's mother, Margaret. She gave David and I a set of tall glass vases. I loved the vases as we didn't really have any of that style. When I took them out of the box, they both had water lines and dead leaves/flowers in them!!!! I don't care if it was a regift, it was something I use to this day, but at least wash them out! ha ha
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    Definitely has to be for a girl the way the hat is made...you wouldn't put something like that on a boy. Even if it is a regift I just love it, the blue is such a soft shade it's a pastel kind of blue,made for tiny girls I think. But your baby looks precious in that outfit and I think it's a wonderful colour, the pink for girls is very dated today...anything goes. Beautiful baby, congratulations.

    If you are interested the yarn looks like it is Sirdar Snowflake or the Lion Brand version of that yarn. (I knit and have made plenty of baby blanket out of the stuff. Usually I have to pry the cats off it before washing it and giving it away )
