My grandmother 11 months old. My great-grandparents. 1931.
I don’t think I’ve ever shared this one before. (I hope not.) I was looking through my external hard drive trying to find a picture because my RIDICULOUS scanner still isn’t working.
This one really made me stop because it’s so light! Most of the time, these old pictures are dark. I love seeing my great-grandparents in light colored clothes. My great-grandmother who was not really a looker, actually looks pretty! Do you see how she rolled down her stockings? And I love her hair!
I wonder if this was a special occasion? Or were they just celebrating their family?
(Oh! And Leigh posted her first awesome post at our new crafty kids’ blog, Impress Your Kids! Go see what she and EJ are up to!)

You are so fortunate to have that picture and that someone wrote down who the people are.

What a treasure! Love your great grandmother’s dress and the “turned down hose” – I’ve heard of it but don’t think I’ve ever seen it before!
Elizabeth says
Cool photo! I have boxes of ones like this of my ancestors. I love that the hairstyles are so universal – my ancestors have the same cuts as yours!

I love old photos. My mom has a huge box of photos of her family that goes back to 1900. I used to spend hours looking at them.
Elaine says
Love this one. Maybe it’s an Easter picture.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
