Garden Beauty *Swirlydoos*

I absolutely love the colors of the Antebellum Beauty Kit. The light blue mixed with brown and cream is a recipe for shabby vintage!!

This is a photo of my Grandmother, my abuelita. Taken in San Francisco 1942. She was my only grandparent I ever knew. She past away 2 1/2 years ago at the age of 97. Our family was devastated, her death was just so sudden. She was so healthy and full of life and we weren't prepared. Honestly, I think we felt she was going to live forever. It's sad to say that she held the whole family together. Since her passing we don't see other family members as much as we use to. I miss her dearly and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her.

Here are a few close-ups................

The butterflies are images Lisa (her blog) gave us over at Swirlydoos. She always manages finding coordinating butterflies!!

I'm not sure if this item is handmade, but it sure is gorgeous!!!! I love how Krissy adds beautiful one of a kind findings in her kits.



Thanks for stopping by and reading my ramblings!!!!

Que bonita to abuelita....I am sorry to hear of her passing and although it was over 2 years ago, it must seem like yesterday. Mine is 96 this year, and when she leaves this earth for a greater world, we to, will be lost. What a beautiful tribute LO of her. I am sure she would have loved it.
