It was sketched by my Mom when she was fifteen, when she was dreaming of college and fashion design. I love the jauntiness of it, the optimism....and the orange and green. And now those colours are finding their way into our kitchen:

Oh, I love that picture of your mother's. That's just what I would like to look like. Must find a way to grow longer, skinnier legs. Also, color my hair, get new glasses, buy a green herringbone suit...
Oh....orange and green. Yummy. When I was little, my first big girl room was orange, green and yellow. I still remember each piece of fabric my mom used. Great colors!
