Precious vintage book covers

Why are these so precious? Because i love guns or westerns? No not really.
Because it's my mother on the cover!

"The burning hills" on the left is from 1970, "The land of the devil" (eew!) is from 1969. To me that is almost unbelievable since (and i am not lying) my mom really still looks the same today as she did on those pictures.

I have used the picture on the right as the base for an illustration which i put on my very first handmade bag and later on one of my fabric wall art pieces.

I know my mom will go like, eewww, did she have to put these pictures up on her website? yes mommy i did! ;)
Love you miss you. See you soon.

eeew... did you have to put these pictures on your website??
I just wanted to stay mysterious in the background, and now the whole world can see me.
But you know I always look at your site.
See you soon.
