I love to collect cast-off antique photographs.
and I have literally hundreds....
I keep them in trugs and basketsboxes and bowls...
tuck them into mirror frames and pin them to walls.
I love to look at their expressions,
their surroundings,
their clothing
their surroundings,
their clothing
and
imagine what their lives were like,
where they lived ~
who they loved...
imagine what their lives were like,
where they lived ~
who they loved...
their faces speak volumes to me,some happy & innocent,
others not so...
couples, sisters, children with pets...
posed or propped or not.
they keep me company in every room of this humble farmhouse
and I'm never lonely or alone.
...they tell me their stories in whispers of the past,
and
much inspiration has come from a name penned or penciled
onto the backs of my photographs...
"Abby Brown"
"Mr. & Mrs. Jacob Strauss"
"Henry Chase"
"Fannie Lovenia Proffit"
the stories they tell me keep me charmed and wanting more...
and It's always a pleasure to
be in their company...
(the middle picture with the two photographs of the same little smiling girl
are of my sweet Mom,
Elda Elizabeth Geiste Smith
at age 6 and 8 yrs
...she will be 81 on June 30th of this year...
I Love You Mom)
Blessings from the Farm...
