Throwback Thursday / Sandpaper Crowns

June 27, 2013

emily 1985 For the last few months, every Thursday, I’ve met those throwback Thursday photos that friends post on Instagram and Facebook with equal parts awwww and grrrrrr. I’m a sucker for cute baby photos and awkward teenage photos.

But the reason I also grumble is that I haven’t been able to join in. In Dublin I have zero photos from my childhood (although some of the photos from when I moved to Dublin five years ago are starting to feel appropriate for a throwback at this point!), which I think it’s time to remedy.

So while I’m home, I’m picking out a few photos to take back with me, to have for Instagram and otherwise! And I thought you all might get a kick out of this photo. When I was very small, my parents bought an 1820’s farmhouse in China Village that needed (and sometimes still needs) a lot of loving. They carefully restored it, bit by bit and year by year, and even made me a few sandpaper crowns along the way!
