    Wow, your mom has glowing, beautiful skin. I can’t believe you got your her to model
    a Morrissey scarf. My mom would say, “Isn’t this that guy from that band whose music you used to mope around in your room to?”

    My friend Christian is a huge Morrisey-fan. He, his friends and his mother travel around Europe to watch Moz as often as possible. She is 63!

    One of these days I’d like to drag my mother to a Morrissey concert. :)

    Too awesome. I think I need that scarf in my life.

    Your mom looks so lovely in the pictures but I think the warmth that exudes from her is what really captures me. What prompted the photo shoot?

    Anna @ D16 /

    I told her I’d give her $10 if she modeled my new Morrissey scarf for me!!

  25. NatalieJanuary 13, 20111:58 am

    Cool mom! (“is that your sister?”)
    and thanks for the Moz link (i would like to warm myself with this scarf!)…

    Love the paint on the back. It could be great if you could you it to us.
    I like your blog and the way you post your ideas and your day-to-day.
    Let me tell you that I’m one of those buying books by its cover, I really really like book cover design too.

    Anna @ D16 /

    The painting is actually my mother’s work! In addition to being a Morrissey scarf model, she’s an artist and designer. :)

    I am going to print off this picture and take it to my hairdresser. Your mom is super cute!

    hee hee! she’s lovely – and she’s got the whole catalog model thing down!
    i especially like the last photo where she’s showing us just how warm and cozy the Morrissey scarf is. :)

    Anna @ D16 /

    I know! She could work for QVC! :D

  31. Lori E.January 13, 20115:13 pm

    Well, I say you definitely got your money’s worth! I bet she will use the money to take you to lunch… :)

    I almost wrote that your mother was “hot”, but that wouldn’t be appropriate! Let’s just agree that she is a “vacker kvinna”. Ha ha

    Ha, ha, I may have to increase my fee! Never mind that I cleverly sent only the pictures where my chin is cleverly hidden and the lighting just so.

  36. JenniferJanuary 14, 20116:11 pm

    Your mother is awesome! My mom wouldn’t even have a clue who Morrissey was although she probably would rock a Ben Affleck scarf if I gave her one.

  37. SuzenJanuary 15, 201111:07 am

    Wowy Zowey! Did this woman give birth to you when she was like, 8? I love that you have her on your blog and that you obviously love her so much! She looks like someone who would be a lot of fun and good to know on a lot of levels, including being really easy on the eyes!

    Anna @ D16 /

    My mother is really one of the most fantastic people I know. Yes, I may be biased, but it really is true…she’s awesome in ways I can’t even count.

    (Oh, and can you believe I have a brother 10 years older than me? I hope I age as well as my mother has. I think she might actually have started going in reverse at some point…)

  38. Megan SommervilleJanuary 15, 20111:29 pm

    your mom is super cute! who did the painting in the background? it’s really gorgeous…

    Anna @ D16 /

    She did!

    Can you post a high-resolution picture of your mother’s painting? It is just so lovely and I am starting to learn to paint and thought I could try and copy it if that’s alright.
