This is a photo that I purchased at the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
The photo is by a JW( edited to JA) Tweit (??) of Litchville North Dakota.
Her dress is too large, her sleeves are uneven and those bows are not taming that hair. She made me smile..I hope you smiled too.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

I wonder if John A. ever found his Norwegian girl for all round studio work?
She looks like a doll you could play with.
ReplyDeleteShe is wearing "Hand Me Ups" as most children do. She is darling.
ReplyDeleteVery cute photo. I had my hair in bunches for the first time in 30 years last weekend for an 80s music festival. It was not a good look for me!
