Playing Outdoors

Posted on by Rebecca C.

These little girls look like they are having so much fun. They are definitely dressed up. I am wondering if this wasn’t after a church service, social event, or Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the photo does not contain any factual information.

I love how the little girl is holding her baby. She has the little doll all covered up. The two other girls are pushing her down the sidewalk. I think they are pushing her in a doll stroller. There’s actually a larger stroller in the background.

There’s also a gentleman sitting on the lawn in the background. He is probably watching them as they play.

What do you see?

Until next time…peace.

A School Project

Posted on by Rebecca C.

These photos are from an estate lot. I do not know if this was a school project or part of the curriculum. The farm display is definitely a teaching point. There are posters on the black board to go along with the exhibit.

I am assuming the photo is from the early 1950s. However I do not have any information to confirm the date or the location of the photo.

What do you see?

Tintype: A Gentleman

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I recently won an auction lot of tintype photos. I have always been fascinated with these types of photos.

I think I need to take the time to learn how to do the process.

I do not have any information on the images. The bidding lot description read from various estate sales. I have no way of known who is in the photo.

What do you think? Do you like tintypes?

Until next time…peace

Christmas in New York

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Happy Friday, everyone! Here are a few photos from a recent estate lot purchase. I do not have any names or dates with these photographs.

I personally find these pictures amusing. The photographs are definitely taken in New York City at Rockefeller Center.

I just returned from a New York trip. I was one of those crazy people who stood out in the rain to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I recognize every place these photos were taken.

The gorgeous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I wonder what color those bulbs were?

The Rink at Rockefeller Center. It always looks bigger in the photos. But I still enjoyed watching the people when I was there.

The beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

I am guessing these photos are from the late 1950s or early 60s. What do you think?

Have you been to NYC?

Until next time…peace

Welcome 2025!

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Happy New Year! Our first day of 2025 has been cold and a little snowy here in Mid-Michigan. On my way into town this morning, I snapped some photos. Of course, I didn’t have the right lens with me. But I still managed. We had Canadian Geese down at the Maple River.

And, then I had a flock of Turkeys fly right in front of my vehicle. I am glad I was on a back road and going slow.

Thank you for following this blog. I have been busy purchasing estate lots. I cannot wait to share some of my findings with you. I just need to organize them first.

Take care!

Until next time…peace
