This one just made my day! I just love it I someone's talent is never wasted and the one of our parents are kept dearly even if only in our minds. You have made a wonderful tribute to honour your Mother's talent ,I wish that my Mother wouldn't have thrown out her school journals that contained the latest fashion of the 40s drawn by her as well. I remember flipping trough them in the attic when I was little ,on rainy days I sat up there for hours. You have not only accomplished a wonderful work but you have also brought back memories of the past alive, thank you very much for sharing them .
