These are my parents. They did not have me until late in life. Aren't they gorgeous!
I have been working on a couple of very simple fine silver frames
1: 12 scale. Before I finished them I wanted to see if I could successfully take pictures of framed photos. I really didn't want to disturb the framing to reduce them and I don't have a scanner. I may just have to take the photos out of the frame to do it properly.
My Dad is gone now but I think about him every day. He was among many other things a true gentleman. In the old fashion sense of the words meaning. They don't make many of them anymore.
Your parents just look like movie stars !
ReplyDeleteYes, movie stars! I have successfully taken photos of framed photos--I think you will be able too as well. Fingers crossed!

Moviestars indeed, I agree! Through these beautifull pictures, and your memories even more beautifull, they will live always.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the frames you'll make for these classic pictures
Wonderful photo's! Now I can see who you take after. ;o) No doubt you have some very happy memories of them both. :o)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the silver frames.

P.S. Overhere you can get perfect copies made of old photo's. I am sure the service is offered in the US and they should be able to reduce them to 1/12th scale.

Your parents look like the distinguished movie stars of days gone by. A truly handsome man and gorgeous woman! You must be so proud of them. I agree with you that there are not too many old fashioned gentlemen left. That is, if there are any. Life has changed so much, too much! Looking forward to seeing what you do with those precious photos.
ReplyDeleteVery true what you said about gentelmen Catherine! Your parents really looked like movie stars:)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMona
lovely pictures and tribute. Your parents do look like movie stars!
ReplyDeleteYour parents look like film stars. Good to have good memories.
ReplyDeleteFather and mother are an important part of us and when we keep a nice picture of them, we feel better ourselves :-)
ReplyDeleteMini hugs, Flora
Wow, your folks are stunning! That was a really nice tribute to them.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, your parents were a gorgeous couple, both beautiful, and your idea of making mini pics of them is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat about your hand ? is it fine now ?
Have a nice day, Rosanna
Thanks everyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteRosanna... My hand is much better thank you. At least with this current issue. There are others that will have to be addressed in the future. I am sure more surgery is ahead at some point.
I see you had a good show. How could Paris be anything other than wonderful. :-)
Ils sont beaux vos parents ! c'est vrai en France on dirait des stars américaines des années 1950.
ReplyDeleteDans la maison de poupées de ma fille , j'ai mis mes parents dans des petits cadres aussi sur la cheminée.
They are such a glamorous couple Catherine and I am sure they will look exquisite in your miniature frames....looking forward to seeing that!!!

ReplyDeleteUm abraço.
What wonderful photos! Like the others I find that they look like actors, your mother is truly beautiful and glamorous.
ReplyDeleteGeneviève
Your parents are a gorgeous couple Catherine, how about the child they had? Just as beautiful?
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely thing to be able to put pretty personal touches in your dollshouse. And anything in silver always gets my vote!
your mum looks like a movie star; your dad very handsome!
ReplyDeleteJosje...You missed that banashed post. It wasn't there long! Though I am sure it is still in the achives in your dashboard.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for you kind comments about my parents. I don't know if I will put the framed photos of them in my dolhouse but It will be fun to have them in 1: 12 scale somewhere.
Catherine, your parents are very handsome and beautiful, respectively! And they passed their good looks on to their daughter! I know I never like a picture of myself until it is at least two years gone by.... at which point I start to think it looks pretty nice...!:) I have taken photos of photos... but usually not through glass.... I love the idea of mini versions of photos I own... and plan to make som of my Grandmother and great-grandmother in their wedding photos... I look forward to seeing your finished frames..... everything you do is so refined and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I have just seen a photo of you on the sidebar of a website. You look gorgeous! I thought you looked like your mother. I wish you had not removed it. You should be proud of your looks!

ReplyDeleteyour daddy is, and it was a beautiful boy, and your mother looks like a '50s movie star, you must be proud of them!
ReplyDeleteI caught a glimpse of your picture on the bulletin board, but you had already deleted the post ... why? You are as beautiful as your mother .. just a little shy? You hurt, you should show your face, now that you can still ... :))
it is nice to have photos of relatives, in miniature, is a part of our lives that goes into our dollhouses!
I am happy to read that your hand is better, I hope to have better and better!
kisses and good weekend!
Caterina
i'm catching up on reading and I'm glad not to miss this lovely post. It's moving, just moving to see such personal en really beautiful pictures of your parents. I agree with some comments; why not cherish and honor them with a place in your dolls house? I'm proud our daughter is framed and decorates the house of her Nanny. These magnificent glamour photo's would set any room alight and It makes any dolls house truly your house.
