What a fun combination of dots and stripes! I love the striped circle you added below the journaling to continue the horizontal lines in contrast with the vertical background.

What a beautiful treasure, Marilyn! I am assuming that Margaret is your Mother in Law? How special to have these treasures and this photo of Margaret and her Mom, Margaret, in matching outfits. The clothes back in the day were so wonderful. Every one was dressed to the nines even to go grocery shopping. Just beautiful !! I love the background paper you chose.. looks almost like ticking Special page! I loved reading your journaling and love the bits of string, threads and stitching. Well done. Thank you for playing along with the November Random Challenge! Congrats too on the Froggy Fav!
PS I LOVE Bolero jackets. My Aunt always wore them and I got quite a few of them from her before I stopped working.. (My Mom had a long waist, and I took after my aunt with the short waist LOL) These photos are truly special!
@cfile Yes, you guessed correctly. My 98 year old MIL is on the right. I loved Grandma K. The was a tiny little thing, around 4' 9" when she passed away. Her daughter is at least that tiny now. Believe it or not, this is a color photo. Everything had a dark yellow cast to it. When I desaturated the yellow, the reds became more prominent, the trim on the jackets and even Grandma K's lipstick came shining through.
