The Keepsake Bonnet
This charming little keepsake
Holds a magic all its own,
As now it is a bonnet
For your baby's first trip home.
Or use it for the Christening,
An occasion very dear,
When friends and family join together
And loved ones gather near.
Then keep it as a treasure,
For here's the magic key,
By snipping a few stitches,
A hanky it will be.
A hanky to be carried
Many years from now,
As the bride walks down the aisle
To pledge her wedding vows.
Whether carried by your daughter
Or your son's new bride-to-be,
It will mean much more as "something old"
Because it's charmed with memories.

Hankie Bonnet Poem
I am just a little hankie, as square as can be,
But with a stitch or two, they've made a bonnet out of me.
I'll be worn home from the hospital, and on special days,
And then I'll be carefully pressed and neatly packed away.
Then on the wedding day, I've been told,
Every well dressed Bride must have something old.
So what would be more fitting than to find Little Ole Me?
A few stitches snipped and a wedding handkerchief I will be!
And if per chance, it is a boy, someday he'll wed,
And to his Bride he'll present the handkerchief once worn upon his head.

Hanky Bonnet Poem
A tiny square of linen,
And a dainty edge of lace,
Designed into a bonnet
To frame a Baby's face.
After Baby's worn it
Fold and tuck away.
It will become a hanky
For Baby's Wedding Day.
If the Baby is a boy,
On the day he should marry,
This will be "something old "
For his joyful Bride to carry.

Baby's Bonnet
This little gift is meant to bring joy
Whether the child be girl or boy
The little hat is just the size for a baby newborn
So, home from the hospital the hat will be worn.
Now when the baby is fully grown
The future of the hat will be known,
It's a hankie made from fabric so fine
And meant for the wedding at some future time.
For the girl, it will serve for "something old".
For the boy, it's for his lovely bride to hold.
I hope this gift brings delight and cheer
Because, after all, it's for the baby dear!
