'BIG BIG' HAIR - 1973

CASE FILE #43

This was fun !!! 
as part of the journaling we were asked to document a special event .
I chose to document my Journey in hairdressing.
On 24th March 1973 Lorraine and I opened our first hairdressing salon . 
we were so excited and this photo was in the newspaper .
how do you like the BIG HAIR ?????
we specialised in hair pieces and wigs , the theme of the era .
we are both wearing hairpieces 
THE FASHION WAS AMAZING, do you agree ???

' JOURNEY 1973'

 a delish cluster of 
blooms 
EVIDENCE
damask, frame, foliage, something transparent, patterned brad, flourish, B & W patterned paper .
TESTIMONY 
I documented a special event . 
24th March 973 a beautiful exciting journey began for my twin sister and myself .
Lorraine and I opened our first hairdressing salon. 
The first of SEVEN over a period of 40 years in the business.
 as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a hairdresser. At 23 years of age we embarked on an amazing journey. I have been so blessed in my working Life .....Living in the light . 
extra journaling written on the back of my Layout .
some of the affirmations I think and say to myself . 
'I always value what ignites the flame within.
I value what inspires and interests me.'
when I know what I am feeling deep inside I know what I like .
AND
 my darling little grandie 'Ella Jai' wants to follow in my footsteps .
she is always fussing with hair and makeup , such a little cherub xoxox

hope you are inspired to have a play with this case .
thanks for taking the time to leave some love here for me . 
you make my day 
love and hugz Heather x

Baden had his test yesterday and we will know the results next Wednesday .
the doctor is fairly positive all is ok !!! fingers crossed.
Baden was so relieved he walked out of the surgery without paying??

    I love the big hair. I think the best thing about the fashions in those days was the fact that we dressed up a lot. It was great. The layout is gorgeous, love your choice of colours. My best wishes for Baden, I'm sure the test results will be good ones. xx Marg

    I just started laughing at myself because before I scrolled down I was going to ask if you were twins - teaches me not to read to the end of a post. I love this layout with the detail you use. Sending positive thoughts for Baden.

    Oh Heather, the 70's - fabulous!! I remember thinking my much more grown up cousin was the most glamorous creature ever with her big hair and beautiful trendy melbourne fashions...It was only a couple of years ago I told her. She confessed it was all hair pieces and false eyelashes - she was still perfect to me.

    Just another wonderful Lo, really enjoyed finding out about this part of your life, more please!

    Glad Bayden's dr is feeling confident, hopefully the tests back that up. xx

    I was 8 and in 3rd grade in 1973 and wore my hair long, to my waist, and parted in the middle. I did not have big hair until the early 80s. hee hee This photo is wonderful. What a great memory!!!
