life in the pack: vintage charm? hmmmm
Looking through some old photos, I came across this lovely picture, forcing me to amend something I said earlier... not necessarily everything old is charming. While my mother is the picture of youth and beauty, her baby and the interesting frock she's wearing are much less attractive (I can say that because the scary looking kid is yours truly).
Note to self: never dress a child like a clown when she's already a little goofy looking.
