When I count my blessings, one of my first is my dear mom! It seems like such a long time ago since I felt her loving embrace on Mother’s Day! I treasure the memories, but how I wish I could hear her voice and see her face to face. One of my fondest childhood memories is going to the dressmakers together, just the two of us, where she had the seamstress make us matching outfits.
My mom had a very fashionable wardrobe and this DVF wrap dress (from the ’70s) was one of her favourites. Jean inherited this timeless dress and wore it to meet Diane Von Furstenberg. Jean let me borrow it and I wore it for a dinner date on the top of the Space Needle in Seattle and on my 63rd birthday.
I have three wonderful children and love them all dearly, but only one daughter. She was the first one to call me mommy.

Thanks a lot Nanette, it was lovely! The best part was having two of my children (my boys) come for dinner, but I sure missed my daughter because she lives in Seattle.

Hi Carmen, happy mothers day to you!! I am sure it is hard to be without your Mom today, and having to rely on the great memories you shared. That dvf dress is just stunning, I like how Jean is styling it with tights , and you look fabulous in it. The houndstooth look is lovely on its own or accessorised the way you model it.I have to say it again, you two look like sisters!! How beautiful is your Mom’s china collection? And your Mom , what a beautiful and stylish Lady , i can see how she influenced her Daughter to be the woman she is!! Have a lovely day, hugs, Terri xo.

Thank you so much for reading my story Terri!. My mom was very loving and caring, she was so helpful with my three children, I never had to hire a babysitter. The more you love someone, the more you miss them.
Glad you like the china collection, it’s very unique, she brought it from Germany when my parents immigrated to Canada.
Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day!

My dear Carmen, what a wonderful, tender and loving post! Memo to think that the influence of our mothers is something that also unites us. Our mothers were women who loved elegance and style, like us and as your daughter and granddaughter, a beautiful way to continue with the heritage of those women who forged our illusion for fashion.
