Wordless Wednesday - Vintage Style

I love all things vintage and the older the better!  I recently ran across a series of Project Gutenberg books which relate to cooking and I was able to pull these images from a variety of books. I love imagining what a typical day in their lives might have been.  I am sure in some ways easier than ours, but I am sure that many ways much more difficult than the lives we live today.

Something I Love

My Great Grandma, probably taken around the early 1900's

I re-designed my header yesterday, both as a way to let people know that my blog is not exclusively for my business, but it is also an extension of myself.  I have a love of old photos and what I perceive as a simpler way of life.  Some would argue that back in the days of  pioneers life was not simpler, but rather it was harder ~ just the act of eating and providing shelter required more work.  I think I would have enjoyed that lifestyle and the sense of accomplishment that comes with providing for your family. 

Family Past and Present



Family on my Dad's Side, taken around 1910-1915.  My Great Grandma (my Dad's maternal Grandmother) is on the upper far right.  This photo is my Great Grandma's immediate family which consisted of 13 total kids and her Mom & Dad.
