"When giving something to a friend not relative like a horseshoe, handkerchief or other small item to a bride without knowing the colour of her gown etc are there any ideas people could tell of how they achieved that without it looking out of place?" Sue T *** I would think white would be good regardless, as if she does cry, it needs to be washed. It is ideal for a baby bonnet conversion with a note to explain, so she may not care if wearing ivory, etc. I suppose a bit of blue could be worked in, in case she hasn't taken care of that belief (and many babies have blue eyes before they change). I would think the sentiment would outweigh any questions of use, and at least you know it would be kept for down the road. I suppose a bit of ivory would be worked in with the white, also. Patterns, I can't suggest as there are so many, but I particularly like embroidered initials, or the last name taken for both, and the future child.
