I just love pictures like the 4 generation ones. They are so special when it comes to remembering our mothers and grandmothers. Your mother and you, look like you have a special bond, aren't memories so important?
What an amazing treasure both photos are! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of your history. I'm sending you an internet hug as you remember your Mother and miss her especially on days like today.
Love the old photo as well as the more recent one. (One of my aunts was born in 1911 too.) I think that like musical talent, talent for creating with textiles can be in our genes!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful picture of all the lovely women who have gone on before us! Your Mother was a dear sweet woman who taught you how to live in the world of fabric and to love other's. She was indeed a woman who was ahead of her time and a business woman, too. How blessed we are to have such women in our lives, our Mother's. Love ya Carolyn. PS: It was my pleasure to have known her. And a Happy Birthday to you, too.
Family photos, especially multi generational ones, are truly treasures close to our hearts. You chose a couple very special ones. What a special heritage you have, with the ladies of your family spending time with fabrics and design. Thank you for sharing them.
Carolyn - What a wonderful memory photo of you and your Mom!! In just a couple of weeks my Dad is celebrating 94. He loves seeing all the quilting and stitchery projects I work on!! Enjoy your Mom's birthday!! Kris
Beautiful post, Carolyn! I love the way you and your mom are looking at one another. You can see the love. The four generation picture is beautiful, too. Yesterday would have been my parents 90th wedding anniversary. Sweet memories.
Great post Carolyn. Odd,my grandfather's family is from Sedalia, MO .hey located there after the Civil War and are on the same farm that they had in 1865. Wonderful women !!!!
This gives me tears Carolyn. You certainly have been blessed. May God continue to Bless you. I feel blessed just knowing you through this simply way. karen
Such a sweetie. Can you tell us about the women in the first picture? Have a great day....
