Joe, I love the photos. Your mom has such a sweet expression and lovely smile. I would have loved to know her!
The kitchen is so...real...and lovely and I'm sure she turned out wonderful meals from it. Are the drapes in the corner what they called "barkcloth" at the time?
Is your auntie pouring honey in your mom's tea? She better give you some, too. My aunt wore puffy hair with wide ribbons tied in the back. She was a corker, and still is.
I just bought that exact buttonholer at a thrift store last week. I've read that it should work on my 15-91. I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for the memories!
