| Here's a dress that reminds me of my mom, as a teenager.  |
| Shift Dress |
That's my mom, in the white gloves.
I'm pretty sure she made the pink and lace dress. |
| My grandma was the lady, beside her, wearing brown. |
My mom sewed most of her own, teenage clothes. |
| My mom won Queen of the Sweetheart Ball or whatever it was called. |
Now for some more things, inspired by my mom's vintage dress:  |
| Lace Capelet |
 |
| Vintage Velvet Lace Dress |
 |
| Cinderella's Silver Slippers |
 |
| Pink Paisley Brocade Dress |
 |
| 1960's Gold Bow Heels |
 |
| Vintage Bohemian Shawl |
 |
| Vintage Custom Made Pumps Half of sale proceeds go to Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary |
 |
| This was a drawing I did of myself, when I looked into a mirror, in May. It's a blind contour drawing that means you can't look down at the paper as you draw. |
 |
| This is the final drawing. I left the pencil marks beneath it. I sat on the couch with crayons. I shaded completely from my memory. |
When I was finished with the drawing, I looked at it.
I told my husband this is supposed to be a self portrait.
Don't you think it looks like my mom, when she was a teenager?

Then yesterday, I was editing old photos from 2004. I came across this photo of me, with my natural hair color.  |
| I'm at my aunt and uncle's house, holding one of their relatives' little ones. |
Yes, I know, I kind of look like my mom. :)
