The older I get (I am only 38!) the more I value old things. I have always loved photographs and my sweet mom has been gathering many, decades of photos and doing family tree research too. The picture above is my great grandmother on my moms side. I just love old photos. If the Lord doesn't call us home I am reminded what treasures the photos will be that we are taking. I tend to look at the old photos and wonder what there life was like. Did they have a spat that day (portrait days can be stress!) or was she weary from caring for her home and family? Did they have enough food that week? Treasure your old photos and find ways to display them in your home. I know I want to get many copies from some of my moms recent treasures.

I am with you. I love them and that is a lovely picture! Good for you on displaying these neat items. Legacy.
Finding frames for these are fun. Once we get a buffet in the dining room, I will be displaying quite a few photos. I look forward to see where you are putting yours in your lovely home!
What's also special about this photo is that this mother died after child birth. My mother was 9yrs old at the time and the 5th child. This is one of the few photos she had of her mother. I am blessed to have the original. Glad you treasure it also! Mom
