Lovely: Vintage Photos

 I love old photographs because they speak to me of our shared humanity, don't we all photograph our loved ones, homes, pets, friends, vacations, weddings, holidays and things we think are beautiful? When I rummage through old photos at yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores, no matter the decade, these are the glimpses into the lives of strangers I see. I like to imagine the stories behind these photos, the day in the life of the person or thing being photographed.All taken from once-cherished photo albums and now left to strangers to paw through, I guess I recognize something of my sentimental self when I look at what was once special to someone else. So much has changed and yet what these old photos tell me is that things really aren't so different in out hearts.  

These photos aren't from my collection, that post is for another day when I feel like rummaging through boxes, but from one of my Pinterest boards of old photos I have found on line and love. I hope you will enjoy.
