Happy Father's Day!


I’m so blessed to have a wonderful father! One of my favorite pictures of him was taken on the Santa Barbara Courthouse steps in 1937, when he won first prize at the Old Spanish Days Fiesta for being so nattily attired. His mother made his costume by hand, using real silver threads in the embroidery. I think they made the right choice for the prizewinner that year, don’t you? Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

Your father is darling. Look at how proud he was.Thank you for visiting my blog. I came to have a quick look at yours and now 2 hours have past. I made it to your mothers birthday. It is like reading an excellent novel, that you can't put down. I shall continue on tomorrow. You are one very talented lady. Your art is absolutely amazing. The photos are wonderful. Warmly Sharon
