My precious one

My beautiful little one. All grown up. 20. With a heart of pure melted gold. Looking out for one and all.
And what does that make me?
Old?
No, a proud Amma of a precious daughter.

Happy birthday our gorgeous crazy blessing. Photos of my angel in comments draped in a royal blue silk with green and gold borders and pallu.

And Here I am draped in a kanjivaram silk bottle green Saree with deep maroon and gold pallu and borders. Have paired it with a striped khadi cotton blouse.

A funny anecdote. Wore this Saree with matching long sleeved blouse 25 years ago to a friend’s grand birthday celebration. I was heavily pregnant with my oldest and husband had a late lecture so couldn’t accompany me.
Blouse of course wouldn’t button down fully.
Came home, exhausted, took off Saree, tried to get blouse off but it got stuck at the arms. So there I was, with arms protruding at the back, tummy protruding in front, trying to get blouse off. No one at home to pull it off.
So..
I got myself scissors and cut through the sleeves.
Freed at last. No more blouse, hence this mix and match.
