Vintage Thingie Thursday Sharing Some Vintage Bling

Have not been around for Vintage Thingie Thursday for a bit.. work getting in the way and we have decided to leave HOT Texas for COLD Minnesota which is really home to us. We leave in about 6 weeks so I have been busy working, packing and trying to sell some of my books ( we have a part time book business on eBay) . Anything I can sell fast we do not have to move or get rid of.

Back to Vintage Thingie Thursday. Here is a cute little picture I put together. Have not been into crafts for some time and thought I would give it a little try again.

Everything used is vintage in this piece. The frame belonged to my grandparents and there was an old picture in it once. I replaced the old picture with a vintage ad for McLaughlin's Coffee and then some vintage jewelry pieces was glued to the frame.

Just about done... and will be putting in a sale some day..

Hope that you all have a great Vintage Thingie Thursday and visit others at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/06/vintage-thingie-thursday-vintage.html

VTT Orphan Photo # 58 Fanny Sawyer and her friends in their Fantastic Hats

Happy vintage Thingies Thursday... you can visit others at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/03/vintage-thingies-thursday-history-in.html
Take a peek at one of the greatest vintage photos I have every bought. This one comes from an Estate here in the Houston Texas area. We have four beautiful ladies pictured in their fantastic hats.

Each hat from left to right gets fancier and then you come to number 4 and she stands out all by herself. Her hat is plain and if you look close you can see her bow around her neck matches her hat band. Each of the other ladies have bows around their necks also.

The photo identifies the first lady as Fanny Swayer . There is writing on the back in pencil that I can not make out sadly. , . I have other pictures of her posted recently.. take a peek if you like.

Orphan Photo # 47 Little Girls And Their Dolls .... A Glimpse Of The Past .. Vintage Thingies Thursday

I found this photo recently at an antique store to resell on eBay. It has two darling little girls in their winter coats and hats holding their new dolls

Back of photo says " Our " twins " Everybody thinks they are. With two of the dolls they got for Christmas. Norma calls them creepy dolls ... she means sleepy doll.

No other identification but what do we know?

One little girl's name is Norma

They are not really twins

They live some where cold enough for coats and hats

They are wearing shoes that look like they are from the early 1900's

The little girl on the left appears to be wearing glasses

The building on the right looks like it is either a large house or their are two houses real close together. Their is a fence at the front of one of them.

I found these at an antique store in the Houston Texas area but who knows where the photo is really taken

Orphan Photo #15 Minnesota Minneapolis

I have just discovered a fun group of bloggers offering Vintage Thingies Thursday at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/.

This is my first entry.

Here are people from so many places who love their treasures.

This is a small CVS or what was considered as a calling card at this time in history.

What a pretty young lady. She has a large ruffle at her neck line, long hair tied back with a ribbon and looks like 3 tiny curls on each side of a part line. She looks to maybe be in her teens.

Sadly their is no name written on the photo.

The photographer was John H. Oleson of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
