Meine Großmutter

This April, my grandmother turns 90 years old. The folks and I are planning a surprise party (SHH... Don't tell!!) and in preparation I am preparing a photo display. I couldn't resist sharing some of my favorites.


Love the pompadours and fur collars! Somehow I find it hard to believe they were necessary in Alabama, but the idea of 'fashion over function' is something I can understand very well :)

Grandma, pictured above on the far left, told me she grew up wearing clothes her mother sewed by hand. It wasn't until she graduated high school and began working at local factories that Grandma purchased pre-made clothes. Some more of my favorites below.
