Maria, Back from the Convent

While continuing to box up art supplies for the move to the new studio, Very Mary rediscovered a few of her favorite vintage patterns. Oh those bob haircuts! Oh those frocks! Oh those white gloves! Oh those potential nuns! Wait. What?

That's right, it's Maria, back from the convent.

And now she can't help it: Very Mary is obsessed with Maria. Is this comment a jab or a statement? Did the owner of this pattern love/hate Maria? Did Maria ever really become a nun? Or did she return from the convent because she couldn't handle the heat of God's kitchen? Did she ever let her hair grow long? Did she ever fall in love? Did she have children? Go to college? Get a job? Drive a fast car? Ditch the white gloves? And, perhaps most importantly, did Maria make the right choice? Oh Maria, Very Mary understands.
