Two Witches?

Another from my family collection - best friends, sisters? I'm not sure.

Just look at that face!

^Once again, sorry for the delay in posting. I am very bad! Here's an adorable little cherub of a girl to make up for it :D

All Fancy-like!

I would totally wear that dress. My husband would roll around on the floor laughing of course - but I would wear it, none the less.

Toddler on a Chair

^ I rather like how happy this tot seems to be :)

Group Photo

A family? A theatre production?

Male Profile

A college professor...maybe a scientist working on the cure for...uh...scurvy. Always fun to guess :)

Picnic

A picnic in the "good ol' days".

Scout

Scouts/Cubs photograph from Toronto.

A Musician, Perhaps?

To me, he looks like a magician, though I'm not sure what his title really is. Who do you think he looks like?

Prom, Perhaps?

^This lovely young lady looks like she's either about to go on a "date", or going to some sort of party, like a prom (did they even have Proms in the 20's? lol)

Mischief Makers

^ To me, these three boys look like they're about to get up to some serious mischief. I rather like how casual they all look. Reminds me of something straight out of Oliver Twist or Dickens in general - what do you think?

A couple of vintage siblings or lovers

I'm not sure by the stance as to whether these are siblings or brothers, but don't you just love her hair? Long and down, not something you often see in these old pictures - usually the hair is up on top of the head.

Service Man

I bought this one at a yard sale last month - the man selling it had a whole army display of things he was selling and had just used the picture as a decoration. Apparently he hadn't planned on selling the picture, but I guess I seemed nice enough and he changed his mind - This is the only war/army related photo I have at the moment. This would be great for a Legion or officers party - have fun with it.

A Writer, Perhaps?

I acquired this charming fellow at a garage sale last month - I wish the family had more, but they sold them just before I arrived (*cries*), but I managed to get this fellow. I think he looks almost distinguished - but then I noticed how his shirt is buttoned and it looks like it doesn't quite fit - so I'm not sure what to make of him.

Two Gents and News from the Ephemera Show

I'm not sure what to think about these two gents. The one on the left has the most peculiar ears and looks like he may be an elf trying to blend in with mortal society - the other looks a little gruff - like he's the friend who always gets you into trouble - we all have one of those - haha

Today I went to an ephemera show over in Thornhill - I made the mistake of taking my BIL and MIL with my hubby and I as I knew they would get bored easily (it's just not their thing). I ended up getting a wonderful new catalog all about horses and maintenance and I managed to find at least 45 interesting (colour!) postcards from the turn of the century. I'll be doing some major scanning tomorrow. Look forward in the weeks to come for some lovely new additions to the Attic! I've got a lot of repairs to do on the postcards, but as they come out, you'll be the first to know, I promise! 

I absolutely can't wait until October for the next ephemera show - I could sit there all day looking through lovely things. Do you know, I saw postcards selling for over a hundred dollars a piece?! I couldn't believe it - and of course a big part of me wished I had the money to nab them for myself and hang them up on the wall.

Much to my husbands soon-to-be dismay (See - I haven't told him yet!), I've decided to collect vintage Halloween postcards. I just adore them, but they are so expensive, so it will be slow going - but good collections always are, right? I managed to get a badly damaged one today for next to nothing and it's really given me a push in the right direction (or wrong, if you're to ask my husband! haha)

That's it for tonight - enjoy!

The Unknown Woman

This is another from my stash of my families old photographs - unlike a good portion of them, though - she was not named on the back of the photo, so I'm not sure who she is. To me she looks rather smart with an interesting dress on. She has a very simple small town elegance to her. I could see her likeness being used in many places :)

Mad Scientist

I like this guy because you don't see a lot of old photoographs featuring scientists - you could make some really cool mad scientist projects with this :)

Modern Women

I'm not entirely sure of the story behind this picture, but I really liked the women in the hats and *gasp* pants! And again - I'm related to one of these ladies, though I couldn't tell you which one :P

Dell and Jenny Vintage Photograph

All I know is that his name is Dell and her name is Jenny - this is another one from my own family tree and my stash of family photographs. I especially love Dell because he looks so delightfully nerdy - he's got a lot of character to him - and somehow, I'm related :)

Red Haired Cutie

This lovely lady is actually my great aunt Bernice when she was a girl - the red hair runs in the family!
