Tomorrow is the 4th of July...What better time to show off my baseball cap - all hand stitched with red, white and blue sequins and gold beads around the stars----It's as "American" as baseball, an old tradition in our country, but most of all, tradition in our own household:

Tina's Picstory challenge this week is *old * I posted these just a little over two years ago, I went back to my blogger admin and typed in family --- tho, this is not what I had in mind to begin with [I was looking for my grandmother's wedding portrait to share], I am going to settle for this "old" post all about "old" tintypes I have in my possession. They're all relatives, but I don't know who they all are, one is a great grandmother Ann ---as you know I was named after my mother's sister, Annie ---but my great grandmother's name was Ann, so I'm nearly 100% positive we both carried her namesake....

I love that cap!! I SO need more sequins. Reminds me of my daughter's synchronized swim days when I sewed thousands of seguins on their competition suits!
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage photos. I have a wall of vintage from both my family and Louis Dean's in our dining room.

ReplyDeleteI have tons of old pictures left by my mom and I have no idea who they are. Still, I can't toss them out. I'm writing names on the backs of the ones I know so my kids will know who they are. Love all those old photos. Rubbish by Roan
