It's incredible how many cultural values can be embedded in simple material objects, like clothing. I love your embroidered Mexican shirts.Francescahttp://www.fuoriborgo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007769.post-71431374612108564142010-09-19T23:07:36.437-05:002010-09-19T23:07:36.437-05:00Dar: You are so fortunate to not only have a Great...Dar: You are so fortunate to not only have a Great-Grandmother but one who shared those things with you.

When I told my great-grandmother that I was going to visit Poland in 1991, she was very much against it, asking me why I wanted to go there, & telling me that there was nobody & nothing left, & making it clear that she was happy to part from that piece of her past & be "American". She kept up her heritage through her cooking & craft, & I am so very happy to have a small part of that as my endowment, passed on through my grandmother. I guess that's part of immigrating, the assimilation vs. the holding dear.<br />I, personally, find the craftsmanship in Mexican clothing to be absolutely beautiful. Be proud.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893352188169950609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007769.post-38853971990650908502010-09-17T11:09:40.321-05:002010-09-17T11:09:40.321-05:00I loved this entry!

I remember wearing my hair braided down the middle & my cousin Jackie calling me "La India Maria". <br /><br />I love that you love traditional Mexican clothes. You look so lovely in that blouse. I wish I had some real pieces of my own; they're truly beautiful and well made so that Frida Kahlo link & the other are a good find for me. <br /><3claudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007769.post-15184480612894143552010-09-16T21:22:49.792-05:002010-09-16T21:22:49.792-05:00yes, such beautiful clothes...
