Lost Treasures ...

I found a negative strip in a bin at the thrift store, and couldn't resist picking it up. Somebody's memories are here.

When I processed the "negative to positive", I couldn't help but wonder ...

Who is this guy leaning against the hewn log fence?

Why are these ladies all bundled up in sleeping bags?

I wonder what happened to those gorgeous old water pitchers?

And don't you just love this guy's socks???

A beloved pet?

Is she laughing?

Or crying?

Where is she now?

So many questions ... I will never know the answers to.

Sigh.

Fascinating, isn't it?

To see fences from around the world, join us over at Jan and Jer's for "Fridays Fences"!

The Garden Magazine, Nov. 1917

The magazine had no cover, and was ragged and stained.

Still, something about it caught my eye, so I paid my 25 cents and came home with a treasure trove of old advertisements and a glimpse into the world of nearly a hundred years ago!

In total, I came home with tattered and coverless copies of this magazine from 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1917!!!

All for a dollar.

The first thing I scanned from the pages of my treasure was this "Stewarts Iron Fence" advertisement. Because ... It's time for "Fridays Fences"!

More Found Negatives ...

One of the things I can't resist snatching up at the Goodwill Outlet Store are negatives.

It's like finding buried treasure!

I picked up several black and white negative strips the last time I was there, and have been working on digitizing them.

 

Some of the shots look like they were taken at an old quarry.

Maybe someone's vacation shots?

 

There were also several views of this old fence.

A late addition to "Fridays Fences"!
