ALL comments welcome! Constructive criticism welcome as well. The lighting is warm from the candle light. That was intended to be kept.
Thank you all very much!!! :) #522996

Thanks you guys!!!
This is my daughter. She was wearing an old-timey moppet night cap and gown. She loves to wear vintage antique clothing. I couldn't resist this shot when she sat down and started softly blowing the candle. The lighting from it was too perfect not to. The doily is also a VERY old antique. I love collecting things like that. My husband also thought it looked like a Christmas card :)

Have a beautiful weekend!!! :) #3315363
