{Phone rings}: Hello.
Sister Momma: Ummm…do you have any ideas what the girls could wear for our family pictures tomorrow afternoon??
Us: {insert LOOOOONNNNNGGGG pause}
That was us a few months back.
Speechless.
And, with no answer to give….
Until the phrase, “WHAT’S IN THE BIN?”, was born!!
That’s right…THE BIN.
An area where completed garments of varying sizes were stored many, many, many years ago.
Sans children…..sans nieces.
Thankfully, “THE BIN” didn’t let us down! But, that’s for another post….another day.
As for this creation?? It too, was found in “THE BIN” that day!!
A “coral floral” {say that 10 times fast} dress for EA!!
It spins.
It twirls.
It seconds as a parachute at times….coming in for a landing.
Yet, another “score” for “Team Frances Suzanne”! We seriously may cry when all items from THE BIN have been revealed…
But, for now – expect to see some more “Tales of . . . THE BIN” posts until that day comes.

Great minds think alike.
I too have a bin and there is a smocked dress in it almost identical to this one…even with the same tucked hem and embroidery on the collar! I think is was an AS&E inspired creation.
Looking forward to seeing all your “bin” items!
Well, we must be in GOOD COMPANY!!!
That is so pretty. It’s been so sad that my girls have gotten to old/opinionated for smocked dresses. They are my favorite. This one is beautiful!
Awww, that’s sad! We don’t want to think about that!!
What a beautiful dress you found in “The Bin”!!! Of course, it looks gorgeous on your sweet niece! “The Bin” at our house is called “Closet Creations”. LOL! I used to have 3 closets brimming with creations, but now, with 4 grandchildren (3 girls!), I’m down to 2 closets. It is wonderful to be able to pull something out that is perfect for special events. I will also be sad when the creations are all gone – but what a blessing that we have little ones to wear these special creations that we’ve enjoyed making.
Keep up the beautiful work!!!
Drooling with jealousy….TWO CLOSETS!?!?!? Wowzers!!! We are now officially ENVIOUS….
That dress is GORGEOUS! I love the smocking and embroidery. I, unfortunately, have no bin, but I love that you do!
I bet you’ll have a bin before grandkids come…..many, many years down the road.
How is this in the bin? What else is in there? Inquiring minds want to know!!
We’re going through it quickly….THERE IS STILL MORE TO COME!
Oh my goodness! Another As&E creation! The bin is a good name I like it! I don’t have three closets of beautiful clothes like Kathy said she had but I am getting there! I have three tubs instead! They are all waiting for the baby to grow (but she will need to take her time) and then when the three kids are all grown I can wait for the grandbabies to arrive so they can wear them. I have boy things too! It’s a truly beautiful dress and I couldn’t help but laugh at the parachute comment!
Three tubs is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! And, for the record, I still see a parachute when I look at that photo….
