Memories of Mother

This is a "hangie" I made for Carol a couple of years ago. It is our Mother's picture with other items on it that belonged to her.


The buttons and black braid were from some of her sewing supplies.


The spoon is from her collection of travel spoons she bought from different places in Europe, when they lived in Germany. The dangle is one of her silver earrings.


The paper is her handwriting from a journal page of hers. Her picture is in an extra large bottle cap (hammered open) and covered with diamond glaze.

Happy Mothers Day

Today, as all days, we miss you
and your sweet smile, generous spirit and loving nature.
You are always with us.

Mother's Day is a poignant and meaningful day for us as sisters to give birth to our new blog. As nervous as new mothers, similarly anxious and fretful over this long awaited event, we want to provide this baby adequate nourishment in the form of creativity, interest, and visual delights.

We want to dedicate this first day's post to our beautiful mother (shown above). Her gracious way of living was always an inspiration. Our tender memories of her will forever comfort and lay gently upon our hearts.

Bolstered, encouraged, and enabled by our talented friend, Hope of Paper Relics who designed our blog and banner, we are happy, excited, and looking forward to this journey into blogland.

Elizabeth and Carol
