This is how most people remember Tatjana.

Here is my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, in what I consider her prime. 

She wears a two-piece dress that she sewed. The radiating beadwork around the dress and shrug necklines is difficult to see in this photograph. Tatjana hand sewed each bead in these two, perfect arrangements. She's also sporting the familiar onyx brooch to hold the buttonless shrug in place.


Suburban Chicago, Autumn, 1965. Tatjana was the loving force that ran our household.
