Box Project

here's someone I recognize!

The stuff in this box is a neat mix of lots of eras - from Gramma's childhood memorabilia all the way up to pictures of you and Aunt Virginia. I thought this one was interesting because a) you look like you are about fifteen; b) I have a red coat that looks exactly like this; and c) there are also echoes of red and aqua obsession.

Whats the story behind this? was this a high school photo?

This was my class picture from maybe freshman or sophomore year. This was when I was enrolled with some friends in modeling school which they called "charm school" for some reason. This was the trendy haircut of the day, we were going for a "Twiggy" look because I was so skinny and had big eyes. We modeled groovy outfits for the local trendy dress shop at several venues. Somewhere are some pictures from my professional photoshoot, and one I really like that was taken at a fashion show and I think appeared in the paper.

 

Handprint

Tiny Handprint

I found this tiny handprint cast, wrapped in tan paper, inside a small cigar box near the top of the box. Its of you, mom, when you are three or four. Had you ever seen this before?

Box Project

Hehe, yes I remember. I think I made it in Sunday School. Does it have a hook on the back? I have a vague memory that it hung on the wall at my grandmother's house.
