Here, I'm on the left and my sis is on the right. We're sitting on the uncomfortable empire-style couch in the Bronx apartment of our Grandma, Daisy's mother, Hermina Farkas Schwartz.
Grandma had long hair rolled into a bun, pinned at the back of her neck. I believe she crocheted the antimaccassar shown here. (Don't see those any more, huh?!)
Great picture!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was a twin, and it was very seldom that either of them were indicated.
Maybe it's the view but I can see how your mom could tell you apart. How cute you both were! The antimacassar? That's what first caught my eye. It's amazing! I hope it stayed in the family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Lyn and Nancy! This is one of the few photos where my sis and I are dressed identically. My mom was a twin and she wanted her twins to have separate wardrobes and identities. And the antimaccassar--sorry to say, it hasn't been found BUT I do have a number of Grandma's circular pineapple versions, which I'll photo and post sometime.
