Family history

My great grandmother is probably the reason why I started to appreciate fashion so much. She was always so elegant, even in her later years. As a little girl I was very sloppy with dressing up - I would wear sweat pants and t-shirts and that would be that. She would always tell me that a lady should always dress nicely. Fashion is who you are, not what you wear. Remembering this, I am always sorry that she didn't live to see me appreciate fashion so much.
This year I went to the countryside and I found a box full of old pictures. I only scanned a few of the couple of hundred.


This is a picture of my great grandma from my mother's side (my grandma's mom) as a baby, in the garden of a house in my village. The house burned down some 60 years ago, but we still own the land. I hope that one day I'l be able to rebuild it!

This is a picture of my mom and great grandma. It's from 1966 if I'm not mistaken, taken on Christmas day!

This is a collage of pictures of my great great grandmother and my great great grandfather! The pictures are from around 1910!!!
