You can see what I found attractive...........to me he looked not unlike Pete Townsend of The Who. Or Cat Stevens. This picture is a still from a climbing film made at Freycinet ca, 1974/5 by the Launceston Walking Club. The film-maker might have been Norton Harvey. This was sent to me by a young acquintance who happened upon it while going through the LWC film archives. Well, after more than 40 years of marriage (yes, I was a Child Bride!) he doesn't look like this any more, but like a good wine or an old violin, I think he is improving with maturity!
My little Thursday's Child is coming along - the doll itself is pretty much finished and now I need to work on the accoutrements - a little bag, a book, maybe.........The box she is sitting on will become a steamer trunk with a bit of work. To me she looks like a lonely little Irish immigrant.
I love the look of your "good wine". My hubby and I have been married since 1972 and the photos look like a "hippie wedding"! My "good wine" now resembles a gray haired Sean Connery, he too has improved with age.......Oh, and Thursday child is just breath taking.
ReplyDeleteHa Sherry, I hear you! We were married in 1971 - and yes - ours was a kind of hippie wedding too. My dress was fabulous - long and flowing and purply-plum coloured with yellow flowers on it. Bob wore some kind of ill-fitting borrowed suit. We had a registry office "do" (because may parents said if I didn't ask for a big wedding, they would buy us a 'frig & washing machine - I'm a practical gal - guess what I went for?) Followed by a slap-up meal. Simple, but great.
ReplyDeleteThat doll is so lovely! :)

Thanks, Ulla!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a wonderful job on your Thursday's child, she's adorable and reminds me of an Irish immigrant too.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your dolls.I saw one in person at Sherry Goshon's home.
ReplyDeleteEach is a work of art.
We married young, a bit earlier than you. Since 1964. judy j
I do love a bit of nostalgia - this photo is how I remember him, as one of the good looking teachers at high school.
ReplyDeleteThursday's child is looking adorable!
I've only been married for about a year and a half, so I guess I'm still a newlywed ;) I adore your dolls, they are simply beautiful! Your Thursday Child does have a touch of melancholy about her, which I love.
ReplyDeletePete Townsend with longer hair and a little bit of Cat Stevens. I can see that. I personally loved Roger Daltrey, but married Malcolm - who did not have a look a like. I guess he is one of a kind :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your latest dolls.......
