Today is an especially happy one for me. It's my darling boy's birthday.HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Stanley Richard. I am being taken over to see him tomorrow for a proper celebration!
I have not given you a photo of him, instead I've chosen to show a picture of my beloved Grandmother. It's a photo manipulation and hand coloured in Photoshop with my mouse.
She was so beautiful but she never had the chance to wear silks and satins, long gloves and carry a bouquet so I've given her that chance in this collage. What do you think?
Another reason for a Happy Day....what the postman has brought. A record collection of Christmas music, songs and Carols by my favourite old crooners, Francis Albert, Bing, Dean, Perry and the like. Gorgeous!
PLUS a Christmas tree! Three feet tall, covered with tiny white LED lights. No wires for me to trip over, battery powered. Ready for me to string a few gold beads around!
My darling cousin Freddie thought I needed cheering up and this would put me in a Christmas mode! Thank you sweetheart! He's the brother I never had! how lucky am I?

Your grandmother looks positively queenly! She has such a royal dour look on her face. :^)
What a lovely thoughtful cousin! Following lately but not much posting..life is way too busy lately.
I love how you have given her a proper set of clothing. My gmother was a simple woman who never wore silks either. Beautiful piece, June.
I love the way you dressed your dear grandmother! I'll bet she is just beaming at the lovely dress! And your Xmas tree sounds perfect!! I was just thinking I needed to buy an extension cord...
Blessings!
