My mom handed me a red coat about a year ago and said "this was mine when I was Kate's age I would love a picture of her in it" this was the first time I ever saw this coat. It was handmade by her step mother probably in 1950. Last year shortly after my mom gave me this coat I did go to a "studio" and had pictures of Kate taken in this coat, and I was so disappointed in how they turned out. Kate was being awful that day and the picture just had a sterile studio feel to it. Now that I'm getting more comfortable with my camera I never want "sterile studio" pictures again. We squeezed her into this coat this afternoon and did retakes of her in the snow...and I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT. I used photoshop with some of pw's and coffeehouse's actions to make them look cool. I'm not sure why there are no pictures of me at this age with this coat, and I'm not sure if my mom has a picture of her with this coat but if she does I'll update this blog with that photo. But it would've been cool to have all the generations in this coat. I can't wait until Lydia is old enough to wear this coat...oh wait, yes I can...I don't want her to grow up.
