Found Family Photos ...


I found these old photos tucked into a battered old photo album at the Goodwill outlet store just a couple of weeks ago.

There were 19 photos in all. A few have dates, which range from 1918 to 1929. Several of them have first names, but not enough to identify where they came from.

I love the outfits of these girls - and the photographer's shadow as well!




What a wonderful studio shot ... so glamorous!


This looks to be a four-generation family shot. I love how all of the ladies are looking at the baby instead of at the camera.

There is a date on the corner of 1926 (the same year my dad was born), and there is a scratchy name on the back that looks like "Mrilla"

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?
