I like to share a few old photos of my mum in her younger days. The last time I saw these photos was over ten years ago. It was very sentimental revisiting these photos after so many years, with my mum sharing her stories and memories with me. The first set of photos are very precious because they are two of the few photos of her in her early teens.
This is my mum celebrating her 21st birthday. I didn't think I look like my mum until now. My husband who saw these photos can't help agreeing with me too!
Finally, a photo of my mum on her wedding day in her beautiful wedding gown.
During my growing up days, my mum and I often get into arguments because we are just too stubborn to let each other have her way. As a result, we weren't really close. Still, my mum influenced me a lot. I think it was from her where I got my crafty genes! My mum's very good at sewing. When I was little, she would teach me how to draft patterns and sew pretty little dresses for my dolls on her old Singer sewing machine. I sure miss those days!
Hey I would love to know more about your mum and how your mum has influenced you!

This is the sweetest post, your mum must be gushing that you dedicated it to her! She is so pretty and very stylish. Her wedding photos are beautiful, wow, thats a lovely dress, does she still have it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! My mom and I are so much alike. We even look alike. (I didn't see that until I got older). I have learned that mom is always right. Even now, when I am almost 32, she is STILL right!!

OMG I can totally see the resemblance between you and your Mom! My Mom also had a similar wedding dress, was hers rented as well? I think that was the trend at the time, long sleeves, lace, with illusionary neckline. Your mom is beautiful, and I can tell she was a stylish lady when she was young...probably still is!
ReplyDeleteYour mum is gorgeous. Love her perm. My mom and I argued quite a bit too. Now I also realize how much we are alike. I think my mom's skincare routine really inspired me to take care of my skin as well.

ReplyDeleteOver the summer, I saw a picture of my mom too. It was actually of half her face and I thought it was a picture of me at first.
