Treasures I Have

Remember the bold colors of the 1970`s? I absolutely adored them. So much so, the first car I purchased was a lime green Volkswagen Karman Ghia. That little car took me many places in the years that I owned it, but that is not what I want to talk about...

(This picture was taken from an old snapshot, it´s the best I could get, but you get the idea. And, yes that is me, a young 19 back in the 70´s)

My mother was a wonderful, sweet and loving woman. She was very talented and truely enjoyed creating many beautiful and lovely things for her loved ones.
I was 19 when I purchased that first car and mom was so proud and happy for me. Within weeks she suprised me with a thoughtful gift to carry in my car for the cold evenings she knew I would be at football games. It would be handy to grab and looked really hip in the car with it´s matching colors.

This retro 70´s afaghan, made of granny squares, was all the rage back then (and is again). I am so thankful to still have this very special treasure, over thirty years later...
