Thank you thank you thank you - these photos are so fabulous and sharing your love is appreciated. Love your site, keep up the great work.

Love the B&W and looking at other people’s photos…and these and the memories connected to them are just so captivating. My things/photos are in France, so when I misplaced the framed pix of my son and I that keep on beside table was panic-struck looking for it. One of the few material things I truly cherish….as you all must cherish these wonderful photos. Thank you for sharing.

“Take back your mink, take back your pearls, what makes you think, that I am one of those girls!” Love it.

You pictures are wonderful and make one think so fondly of one’s own mom and the grace and elegance of simplier times. My mother, Marie Hollingsworth, was a dancer who created a sister act with her sister Ada Hollingsworth (who later became a famous model). They performed throughout Europe having wonderful adventures. My mother married her older business manager Illes Brody, a writer, who wrote the book “Gone with The Windsors”. She met my father Harold Haskin, a ballet dancer in the show “I Married An Angel,” and they went on to have five kids. She became a part time dance teacher and spent the free time that she had, when she wasn’t caring for her brood, painting. In her later years she enjoyed creating her own versions of Matisse paintings. She was a beautiful and very talented woman who gave on innumerable gifts to me. I thank her for my love of beauty and art and for the desire to see the truth and tell it. I was fortunate that she was still around to be a grandmother to my lovely daughter. Watching her joyful respond to her grandaughter let me experience how she must have treated me at a young age. I miss her.

My mother died Jan29, of this year. My mother adopted me and my sister in 1965, when I was 7yrs old. She always loved children, anyones children. In her college yrs, she studied to be a teacher, which she never got to complete, married a soldier instead. When she died I received nothing. My sister and her daughter took control. I have the time I spent with her, and a few pics I have taken of her with my 7 grandchildren. So I guess what Im trying to say is no matter weather you have alot or little, you will have those memories in your thoughts and in your HEART, which no one can take away from you.

Such charming photos. You all are truly fetching. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Loved the photos, but I want to take this space to thank Whoopie, Liz and Lily for their Mother’s Day cards. What a great idea. My mother is long gone as is my mother-in-law, but I sent them to my daughters-in-law to whom I am most grateful for being wonderful, caring mothers.

Oh what beautiful Mother’s you have!

Awesome: a reminder that you fabulous women came from fabulous moms.  Thank you for sharing these pictures.  :)

Lovely photos, all.  But for goodness sake, Liz Smith, I have always thought you spelled your name with an ‘s’, not Smith.  I got that part fairly easily.  Actually, I did not ever consider ‘z’. Always considering you unique, I rather imagined you had this unique spelling. And, Elaine Stritch spelled your name with an ‘s’, and who’s going to question Lady Liberty? Thanks for the mention of a few more NYC restaurants, Liz Smith.  Your mom was a gracious soul,Liz Smith, and the Big Apple was the only place her gracious soul of a daughter could fall.

Peace and grace

I too enjoyed seeing all the mothers of all our glamorous WOW panel. I lost my mother 2 years ago and I miss her dearly. I have glamorous shots of her too, though only my brothers and I appreciate them. Mother’s Day is always a little less than it used to be since Mama is gone. There’s no bond like that between mother and child.

Even Mommy likes your mommies, my dears, and I am not one from whom compliments flow freely.
