In the last photo, the bow is almost bigger than her head!Natasha and Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454014270247663146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-30833702423095799292010-07-06T23:55:19.671-04:002010-07-06T23:55:19.671-04:00Thank you all for coming to look at my photos.
Le...Thank you all for coming to look at my photos.<br /><br />Leah, I'll look forward to seeing your photo of girls with bows.<br /><br />QMM - Thanks and you're welcome. I enjoy visiting your blog.<br /><br />Brenna - almost as darling as your photos!<br /><br />Barbara and Nancy -- Don't think of it as being a copycat but as being inspired.... I think all of us do that sometimes. We see a photo on someone else's blog and say, "Oh, yes, I have a photo about that...." and up it goes on our own blog in a few weeks.<br /><br />Tony - You make me laugh. My mom would be thrilled to know she was aHead of her time!<br /><br />L.D. Burgess - I went to your blog to have another look at your mom's wedding photo. Very lovely. I wish I could have enlarged it, though. I hadn't quite thought of my mom being "overly blessed" but that's a fun way to think about it.<br /><br />Crazyasa - Thanks for pointing out the rose garden. I was focused on the bow and didn't look closely at the flowers -- I thought they were hollyhocks. <br /><br />Tattered and Lost - Maybe you'll share some of your photos with bows. You have lots of great photos on your blog. I hadn't thought about the smile looking like a Gerber baby but I agree - it does.<br /><br />Pat in MN - I'll have to go look at your photo. I wonder how they kept those bows upright....<br /><br />Neetzy - I think maybe Baby Girl didn't have enough hair to keep a bow in, though I don't think I've seen a photo of her with a bow. I think little girls can get away with big bows but I don't know about 18-year-olds. Haven't seen any big girls with big bows around here yet.<br /><br />Alan - You have such a way with words! I hope you'll post your mom's photos sometime. Thank you for starting Sepia Saturday. It's really fun to look at others' photos and read their stories.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-45654330544107712352010-07-05T05:50:30.402-04:002010-07-05T05:50:30.402-04:00Oh, indeed I have pictures of my own mother with a...Oh, indeed I have pictures of my own mother with a similar sized bow in her hair (but, alas, not the expanding trend over time of your collection).

A girl at my daughter's high school wears them just as big. She is eighteen and looks ridiculous!neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-20682614478399951592010-07-03T17:17:38.102-04:002010-07-03T17:17:38.102-04:00Oh yes, nancy, the Ostrowski gathering I posted a...Oh yes, nancy, the Ostrowski gathering I posted awhile back had my great aunt Francie with a huge bow like that, bigger than her head and another cousin with similar. I guess that was the fashion. Funny how they stayed upright too?

She is standing in what looks like a rose garden. That's a very sweet photo.

It is on the side of my site in the oval frame. Your mom was really over blessed with a good thing. Great post.<br />Oh I just remembered, I actually have that bow along with her wedding dress. She was married in the same era as your mom's youngest picture.L.

I remember several photos of my Mother with very large bows.
