Such a beautiful collage…

Great photo - it seems like it is sitting in an old-fashion setting of lace and iris!

Thank you so much! It does feel that way, and I adore doilies - remind me of my grandmas - they both made them all the time.

I love the big frame and the wonderful lace behind the photo. The flowers add a lovely touch of color. I have sooo many photos where I don't know many of the people. It's frustrating but I sill like looking at the faces to hunt for similarities to people I do know. Wonderful take on the challenge!

Thanks for your sweet comments, Adryane. Isn't that the truth? It really doesn't matter, does it? My granddaughter bought me this awesome suede antique photo book in an antique store and it had all of these old family photos in it. I told her it was "instant family".

I love that! I hunt for other people's cast away family members at white elephant sales and flea markets (well, when one could do that sort of thing). I'm glad your granddaughter recognized this treasure and placed it in capable hands.

It's a gorgeous book - it has a raised Indian, in full headdress on the front. It even has a fold in it, which gives it additional charm and you know somebody loved it at some point in the past. It's one of my treasures and I have it on display in my scrap room. Yes, I'm thrilled that my granddaughter saw the book for the treasure it is! She's always on the lookout for little treasures like that!

This photo is what family history is all about. I'm envious!
