It got so yellowed and damaged in my parents' attic that I had to dispose of it, but did keep some of the lace.<br /><br />Love the photo of your dad with Santa, too--so dear. <br /><br />You are so close to a finish on Anniversaries of the Heart--what a treasure that will be!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-8570170598693879942011-12-18T15:31:23.755-08:002011-12-18T15:31:23.755-08:00I love old family pictures.

Love the pictures...and good luck with the genealogy search. My father and I have been working on both sides of my family for a while now...it is quite addicting, and frustrating at times, LOL!<br /><br />Your AotH is gorgeous and will be exquisite with all the personification added; it will make a treasured heirloom.

I have a photo of my mother and father with my brother when he was about 5 or so that reminds of that photo of your grandmother taken on the street. They were in New York and it was common for photographers to make money by taking your picture as you walked by. I'll have to scan mine and show you how similar they are.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509728430110361806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-70884098792809430042011-12-17T13:23:43.965-08:002011-12-17T13:23:43.965-08:00Your grandmother was a beautiful woman, isn't ...Your grandmother was a beautiful woman, isn't it interesting to imagine what kind of life she had?blue star stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624181391967009424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718215556660678104.post-66302419497570611342011-12-17T13:18:22.544-08:002011-12-17T13:18:22.544-08:00I love all the old photos!!!!
