Tag Archives: Vintage I was born and raised in Southwest Louisiana, not far from the Gulf. In fact, my parents and most of my family still live in there.

She has a quite a collection, and I definitely feel like I am capturing a piece of history!  I feel much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of the camera.

I’m home. Extremely tired, but so full from my trip! I have a stack of polaroids to scan and almost 8GB of photos to process. Italy is, quite simply, beautiful.

They were hidden in an old box in a local consignment shop. I was instantly drawn towards them, as I am with most vintage finds. They are brown, brittle, and dated 1931 – 1934.

A part of the beautiful charm of the South…… ++++++++++++ Have you signed up for the newsletter? The May edition will be published this weekend! I hope you have a peaceful and relaxing weekend, my friends.  It’s yellow. It’s funky. It’s vintage. It’s fun. What’s not to love? *********** Note: I was saving this post, but accidently published it last night, tried to correct it, but my reader is still picking it up. So here you go – bonus shot! |
