Cindy at My Romantic Home is hosting a Show and Tell Friday. Since I decided to participate (with the nudging by my dear pal Brenda at Cozy Little House), I also had to decide what to show. Those who have been reading my blog for the past couple of weeks, know that I love dogs. I have posted twice about my canine collections. What you should also know about me is that I love horses. I fell in love with horses as a child and started riding lessons. I have always been happiest on the back of a horse either riding the trails or jumping over fences. Therefore, my show and tell item is a portrait of me commissioned by my Mom for my Daddy's birthday. I was 16 years old when I sat for this portrait.
Your picture is a beautiful treasure! I too love horses, I haven't had one in years, but never give up the dream of a cottage with a few acres! :) If you have a minute I'd love it if you'd come visit my S&T. Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs

ReplyDeleteI love horses. We had horses when I was a young girl and I hope to have some again one day. That is a great portrait your mother had commission for your father.

What a fabulous painting! You look absolutely regal in it! How wonderful to have something created for you at 16 that you can continue to enjoy as the years go by.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. It seems like all girls love horses. I'll bet your daddy loved his gift that year.
