Still looking…

 

Aunt Ruth (grandpa's sister)

at old pictures.

I think this picture has a lot of character.  this is my Aunt Ruth, the sister of my grandfather on my mother’s side of the family.  Just look at all of the different things you see in the picture, clothes hanging on the line, a tiny head of a child in the front of the picture, etc.

I have been to garage sales this morning.  I t was fun.  I picked up some nice Christmas doo dads to put around my door at Christmas, a Gooseberry Patch Christmas Cookbook, and a couple of books to read.

It is a lovely cool day at 77 degrees right now with a northeasterly breeze at 15 MPH.

I hope you  all have a peaceful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  1. she is beautiful. i like her jacket, her hand out to the side, and the other holding her purse in the crook of her elbow - just like my mother always did. :)

  2. Pretty pretty lady! I love the stucco house and the button on her jacket. That flirty curl in the middle of her forehead reminded me of the Mother Goose Rhyme:
    "There was a little girl who had a little curl
    Right in the middle of her forehead;
    When she was good, she was very, very good,
    And when she was bad she was horrid."

  4. She certainly was a lovely gal...I love the way she's holding her hand and the cut of her suit and blouse. Now I'm wondering what is in the corner of the porch by the door.

  7. She was dressed up to go someplace special. Love the spit-curl and the beautiful jacket and lacy blouse. Sounds like you made some finds at the garage sales. So very glad it has cooled off there, too. It's glorious! :)

  16. Times sure have changed! She's an attractive woman. I just love her jacket with that big button! It seems that all the ladies had pretty skin back then. I wonder if it's because they didn't tan all the time?? Hope you have a lovely weekend!

  18. What a lovely woman. I do like the composition of the picture. A brief glimpes into the past. Saturday and Sunday are sales tax free days here in Ma. and I plan to make me a purchase. Not sure what it will be yet.

  20. It's funny how with all the technology we have these days there is still something about the old pictures like that don't you think?
