A Special Keepsake

This Christmas called for a very special gift for one very special woman...a sentimental bit of her lineage...a love story in a picture...her mom and her dad on their wedding day in Italy...

I enjoyed making this apron for her...every little bit that went into it...and, as I stared at the image of the two in love I could only imagine how it was back then to fall in love - during a war when everything around you was crumbling away - when the city you once knew as a child doesn't look the same - when friends and family you know were injured or killed - all you had left was love...love to give, love to receive, love to share, love to last forever...

The "look of love" is what this picture says to me...
