My grandfather took this photo of my mother in 1945. She was at 2 years and 8 months old, dyeing Easter eggs at their kitchen table in the Bronx.
Look at that concentration. To this day she has that look on her face when she's creating something. I love her little chenille bathrobe and the rag curlers in her hair.
Happy Easter!

Appears to me that she had rags tied in her hair to make curls....If so, I remember that move vividly than dying the eggs. Must admit though, the rags did the trick to make curls.
Ooops...didn't notice that you had commented on the rags.
Dianne: The rags do are great for setting hair. They make good waves. My grandmother used to set my hair in "pin curls" to give me curls. I really love all the old pictures I have of my grandparents, my mother, and my aunts. My grandfather used to take a lot of photos and develop them himself in his basement. I like seeing what he captured. :)
