I raided my granny’s house when I was in Zimbabwe. Obviously. I got a few really nice pieces, which she was very happy to give me because I’m her lovely grand daughter hee. I bought home this Tretchikoff print, the frame has seen better days, but I kind of like it all disheveled. My aunt who lives in Springs has a really big one like this in a big gold frame, I drool over it every time I go there and she has promised that one day it will be mine. So pretty.
I also asked if I could take 2 of her wedding photos. Back in the day everyone always looked so composed and classic, I wish our pictures now looked like these.
I have never written about this gran before, this is my dad’s mom and she is one tough cookie, I will say no more ha. My grandfather unfortunately passed away quite a few years ago, he was cool grandfather. My fondest memories of him are the bike rides he used to take us on. I have such an awesome picture of me, my brother and my grandfather on is bike – I must find it and add it to this post.
I love the flowergirls outfits and hats.
your dad looks so much like your grandad!
Love those old photos!!
To the left of your gran is Dinos pappou! Looks exactly like Andy with a moustache 🙂
I wonder who the flower girls are ?
That print in particular is my favourite Tretchikoff.
Coming from the East Rand I can tell you that I bet behind those closed doors in those old houses there are treasures beyond our wildest dreams!!!!
those are such gorgeous pictures! i love the flower girls too!
That’s a gorgeous print!!
Love those old photos, my mom has my great grandparents photos up in her house and I love looking at them
You’ve found yourself a treasure.
Beautiful pictures.
ahh, my mom also has the dying swan, quite a big one with a gorgeous gold frame! I’ve been eyeing it out for a while 🙂 the colours are so nice
you look just like your granny (i mean that in the best way possible).
Snap! My gran has the same Tretchikoff print.
