Johanna's wonderful installation - people wrote memories of Nana on red pieces of paper and added them to this floating beauty.

and the Talbots store was first started. Here it is:
Gramps and Nana's house in Cohasset where we spent many a summer until they sold it 20 years ago.
It was gorgeous to re-visit this special childhood place.

Thanks for these pics Becca!
Your faces have sorrow in them. I wish you comfort in your grief.
Love Meg
such a lovely post. x makes me nostalgic feel a bit melancholic. but strangely so because it's so gorgeous. xx
the B&W photo was intentionally sorrowful, we were going for the victorian-photo-look
Thanks so much for sharing all this with us, Becca. So much of your own history, too. Zach seems to have come through it all smiling, even on the plane. And we will see you SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love,
I have just checked the b&w pic. I don't think people smiled for photos until relatively recently. Have just read a lot of Mitford biogs and autobiogs. No smiles up to WWII time.
I think Zach got the Victorian-photo-look just right!
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Nana.

Becca,
Thanks for the great photos of a wonderful although poignant time with many memories. Lots of fun too. Rudy and Zach had a really good time in Cambridge together. So fun to see. I still can't believe Sam, Matt, Triona and you, pregnant, went swimming in Oct in Massachusetts Bay. Impressive.xxxooo
