TAKE A WORD


MABEL'S NEW COAT

This week we have FAMILY ALBUM as our theme at Take a Word and that reminded me of the lovely photo I have of Mabel.  She's wearing her new Astrakhan coat and looks a million dollars.  We still have those pink fabric roses she was wearing on her hat that day.

Thank you for looking.

Mabel really was quite a gal and, fortunately for us, a gal with a lot of family album pics preserved for posterity. A lovely take on this week's challenge, Ann. The fabric roses are gorgeous.

Mabel is so cute (my Grandmother`s sister`s name was Mabel). This has a grand vintage feel Ann- wonderful work!

I think she has a secret: she is practising at a mannequen school. Obs her ankle! Fun take on the theme, Ann.
