listening to the rain bucket down tonight. and painting again. my new (old) favourite thing.
funny...no spooky that this pic was taken on my phone a year ago today when i checked the details to note in my sketch book. elsa wearing one of my baby dresses (circa 1970s). and those sandals that i adored on her teeny feet all last summer. so buttery soft. some things i just can't part with.
jenny...thank you! i would love to work on some pictures for you. promise an email to arrange it this week xXx
I too have things from Ruby that I will never part with. Those little sandals look lovely. And your sketch is great - how funny that you should discover the photograph exactly one year on.
ReplyDeletethanks Victoria...i guess all mums are the same. that must be why mine kept some of the things i wore even though so many bit got passed on to cousins and friends in those days. i have a box to keep the special stuff in like those vintage bits and all the amazing things my mum has knitted for elsa. i wonder one day if her own daughter might wear them? it just seems a shame that they are up in the loft though so it's nice to remind myself with pictures in a sketchbook i can pick up and look at. xXx
Deletehurrah! look forward to doing it with you x
ReplyDeleteThat dress, those sandals - so damn cute I can't stand it
i don't really care much about what i wear these days...just in love with girls clothes!! xXx
