That's so interesting--isn't she the same woman from your February 14th entry?
ReplyDeleteBack when I was a young girl, a traveling photographer came to our home, set up a backdrop, and had an array of clothing that could be worn for the picture. He carried a box of fine clothes and hats from which to choose. He also had a fancy wicker chair and all the props to make a fine portrait. Could be the same with this lovely lady.
