Spring 1974


I love this picture because of the dresses. My mother made her gingham shirtwaist, and my smocked dress was a loan from an older neighbor. I used to love seeing it hanging in my closet; it was the prettiest thing I could imagine.

  1. Anna, that is such a sweet photo! Thank you for sharing. In my opinion, in that picture you look so much like Daisy, with the same big beautiful eyes. Your Mom looks lovely! Sigh! Such a sweet bygone era. Things were so much simpler then.

  5. As soon as I saw this, I thought, "There's Daisy!" And then I realized, no, that isn't Daisy. :) But my, I certainly think she takes after you...same gorgeous eyes, same sweet smile.

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo! You've inspired me to dig out some of my old ones from when I was a girl.

  8. I also thought it was a magazine photo. So perfect. The picture was taken right around the time I got married. A "bygone era", eh? ;)

  21. That is such a sweet picture! I noticed the wall behind you, and wondered if it is the same house you live in now? The walls look to be the same. We live in the home that I grew up in. We bought it from my parents eleven years ago. I love that it's moving through generations.
