present for my mama


these words and pictures are a simple wish. they're a very happy birthday to my dear mom, who was once (I like to imagine) a tiny, pink, cherished arrival at the sweet start of Summer, 66 years ago today.

a few things that would've made her smile right now...


gloire de dijon rose
simply a rose

happy
a happy face, a silly game


sweet kitty
a furry friend


sewing on my mom's Elna
her Elna in use


SF beach style
one more day at the beach


mom's sampler
a gift, well-loved


a silly face
a very silly face


found: mom's pincushion
little things, found and cherished


hot lunch date
quiet moments together

  1. Happy Birthday Kab. What a lady! What a gift she was. I have a little blue and white dish she gave me in college. I keep it in a safe place since it is one of those "special-don't-mess-with-it" items. Love this post, Blake. I agree that she would love these cherished things.especially that little rascal, grandson.:) Beautiful. xoxo

  2. Aw, Nanny... thanks my friend. We had good times with her when she'd visit SLO, huh. Remind me to check out that dish when we invade your casa in Aug! xoxo
