Antique Cabinet Card 1903 Photograph of my grandmother

To excited to sleep, I have been up all night gathering  images. There are so many!  Other than some cropping I still need to figure out how to "cleaning up" the images. It is so odd to write as if there are tons of you following or reading this. 
 The baby picture is my beloved grandmother "Nana" as a baby. The picture was taken in 1903. Wonder what happened to her beautiful little dress? I love old lace, baby clothes, fabric, ribbon, heirloom sewing etc.. Another fun thing to post.
Bumbling around on the blogs, I knew I had found kindred spirits. Can't wait to hear from you. Much love, Louise
From a child's book from 1903, the year my grandmother was born.

Dear Vivayne, Thank you for visiting. I just went to your blog and am excited to see what you have planned. Much love to you and your dear family, Louise

I do believe that is actually a little boy dressed in the Little Lord Fauntleroy style. The suit is fashioned after the costume worn by the main character in an 1886 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The ruffled collar and cuffs, and long curly hair are definite signatures of that style.
