Another Self-Portrait Wednesday: Hats


Hats
make me feel
flirtatious and fabulous



feminine
and oh-so-proper.

Got a hat in your closet?
Put it on.

Then come on over.
I'll pour the tea.

We'll make an afternoon of it.

Hey Meri
you are becoming friendlier - on better terms with that camera...

This is a gorgeous photo because I can detect a little Meri-spirit coming through...
You look so beautiful and wise...
I hope we meet one day...


Happy Days

There's a hat for every woman, Beth. And sun hats count, Kamana (as do baseball caps, but not for afternoon tea). And Delwyn - you should have seen the ones I deleted. Yuck!

What a great shot of you! I always wore a hat as a kid, something about dressing up in them made me feel I was able to DO ANYTHING!

These days.. I have only (oh my gosh!) a ball cap near by (thanks to Jeff),

might look a lil silly for tea..

but, surely I'd enjoy a sit down with you,

that is if you don't mind the
odd appearance as I do tend to wear it backwards.

*smile*

THANK YOU for taking on the challenge of making an art dress with us.. let ur art speak for us, S&C can't turn down such a loud voice can they?

xo, monica :)

A Girl and Her Dog

Image
It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering  from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot. She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree. She had a lovely singing voice and often performed  as the vocalist for weddings and funerals. I remember once when I was really little that she was on television in Indianapolis. She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
