Mama and I are making little outfits similar to the ones in Good Housekeeping for Fannie Jane and the little boys. She says it is good experience for me to sew bias pieces for the trim.
Notice, too, the caption at the bottom of the cover for the Women Voters' Convention. Blanche and I will be able to vote for the next President, and Ethel too in 1928.

I am visiting, having found your link over at Georgia on my Mind. This blog idea is wonderful! I am not sure I have it figured out, are you telling the stories (of your family) as if you were there back then? And as if you were indeed Mary Zelda?
This post is timely, with the voting going on here in Georgia!
Have a great day. Susan
Thanks, Susan. As the side bar says, this is a family story related as if by Mary. It takes a village to raise a child? It takes a whole family to tell this story; Mary is the spokesperson. I just type.
Zelda is an imaginary middle name, chosen for the blog during a brief infatuation with the Fitzgeralds. Mary has a more conventional name, unlike Ethel and Blanche, who had no middle names and Fannie Jane, who discarded hers, but we haven't reached that point yet.
Mary Zelda is my muse. I upload the photos and she gives me the story, with the assistance of her baby brother and nephews, who have vivid memories of her and Daddy Mack and the others.
Thanks.
