This charming lady is Maude. I realize it may sound strange, but she reminds me of my grandmother. Ergo, her name is Maude. Maude came to live with me more than fifteen years ago.
There once was a wonderful antique store here, which was owned and managed by sisters. They had the most gracious store where you always felt comfortable and welcome. One of their specialties was vintage linens and apparel. And, they featured wonderful custom bears made by a very talented lady from this area.
Maude is made from a beautiful cashmere coat which featured a wonderful fur collar. And, she is topped with a chic fur hat. She is wearing a lovely vintage brooch. She looks so stylish and lovely, and so did her namesake.
I have a large finished closet in our master bedroom, and Maude has her very own place in there. The closet has a wonderful bench with a seat cushion, and that is where I dress. Maude begins and ends my day with a smile and sweet memories.
