2013 the daily post - photo journal
03.22.13 = Flashback Friday - Hugs
A few weeks ago, my sister and I went to a mid-century modern furniture show and one of the booths reminded us of the furniture in my grandmothers house, and it made me think of this photo and my grandmother. We started talking about her house, her furniture and fabrics. It's funny how you remember the strangest things about a place and time. I can remember the tall plants she had in her sun room and those cool bamboo like chairs. But mostly, I remember the way she smelled when she went to hug you goodbye. A little of her perfume and makeup would rub off on you and linger with you for hours, as if to hold on to you for as long as she could and give you that memory of her. Every once in a while, I catch that smell in the air and know that she is still there, lingering, and I remember.
