A new batch to start the weekend

Welcome to all of you! The pic's in this post are so charming. Remember what I said about cleaning off my dining room table? It is now blog central. Piles of antique books and photographs waiting to be scanned. I am so impatient and want to list all of them now. Just have to pace myself or this will be the only thing I do! On to the images of the day; Be sure to click the pictures  for a larger image and then copy.

The cutest baby. what an expression. I think he is just darling.

Staying cozy inside on a winters day. Turn of the century mother and her dear daughter who is holding her little doll look warm and toasty..

This flourish is from 1915

Sweet children! Luella,Tom and Arnold Cannon

Remember sitting in your mothers lap like this.  

 I love this picture! My grandmother Nana playing the piano with my aunt Annette. The cute scotty dog is named Tuppence.

This is from a silver brochure.

Lovely 1920's Bride. This is unmarked probably one of my Nana's many friends.

Is this precious or what. Depression era little boy.

Love to see what you have been creating with all the ephemera. Be sure to drop me a comment when you visit. Much love to you all,Louise

Still time for a few new photograph on a busy Thursday.

 Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying and using all the pictures. Thank you for visiting from all over the world! Your visits, comments and my followers are so amazing.. Be sure to say hello and share my blog with all your friends.

I am just loving all of this!

First is a photograph taken by my son several years ago. I always feel calm and cool when L look at it.

 Now on to the old stuff!  

Family church in Sweden. Do people in 1800's to early 1900's keep postcards of their church? I also have 8x10 photographs. So this was a very special and meaningful place for them. I know very little about my great grandmothers family in Sweden.I think they lived near Malmo.

Isn't this the cutest! A sweet little boy spoiled (in a good way) by mom dad and three aunties.Papa was about 3 years old here.

He is wearing the very fashionable and sailor inspired clothing of the day. Queen Victoria, in honor of Albert's career dressed all their many children in this style.

Hilda and Freida

Maggie Fox Bouton

Gen Boutons first wife who followed him in the civil war to care for the wounded. After the war they moved to California.

Oh Josephine! Jane Austin's era, love the clothing.

 And now some of my favorite illustrations from a school book reader.

This darling little girl is Dorothy Neff. I'm using this in my header on ebay and she will find her way onto my blog background.  She is from my moms side. How cute this little tea party is! Any doll collectors out there who can tell me what type of doll that is?

I have to run.. So much to do. Please enjoy and share the images for free. Much love to you all, Louise
