PICTURE THIS
I don't know about you, but I'm a sentimentalist. I just love old photographs from the past,
especially ones of family members.
especially ones of family members.
Like they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. Just one photo in your collection can tell you so much about a relative you never really knew or didn't know in the time frame when the photo was taken. We can learn so much about our ancestors and our lineage from just one small sepia vintage photo. I have gone hunting in boxes in the attic to learn a little bit more about who I am and where I came from. I just cherish these photos and have been busy finding the perfect frames and places to display relatives from my past. But as you can see, putting them in a frame isn't they only way to appreciate these old photos
Propping them up in a vintage frog
or looking at them through a magnifying glass
or scattered with old bingo cards and other ephemera does the trick

Who knew an old drawer pull, some upholstery strapping and an old piece of lumber could look this good???
The woman in the center of this photo is my grandmother with her sisters. The saying on this sachet about sisters is the perfect way
to tell your sister how much you cherish her
to tell your sister how much you cherish her
I just love finding unique ways to make my memories last.
Do you enjoy reminiscing over your old photographs? Maybe someone from your past was classy and fabulous too... why not find a classy and fabulous way to to show them off!!

So many fabulous ideas here. I am a bit of a fanatic about framing every photo I can get my hands on, but after this I'll have to start experimenting. Like you I'm very sentimental.
Love your new sachets, your grandmother was classy and fabulous - it definitely runs in the family.
Thanks for the email, no worries about getting back though, Take your time my friend!
Have a good day,
Mimi
Hope that you have a beautiful week.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I loved every one of the pictures you shared in this post. I especially love how you used the pictures of your grandma and your aunt. Too sweet. I have some fabulous pictures of my husbands relatives that I use around the house. I cherish everyone of them. They are so rich in the past, almost as if they tell a story...
Have a wonderful spring day!
