One of my very favorite pastimes is digging out old photos and getting lost in the past for hours. While in North Carolina visiting my grandparents last week, we couldn't help but uncover mounds of old albums, dust off the covers, and dig in.
Since scanning wasn't an option, but forgetting about all these great old photos as soon as I landed back in Connecticut wasn't either, I took pictures of the pictures.
And I'm so glad I did. Isn't my Nana stunning? I was absolutely born in the wrong decade.
Not to mention, my grandfather (the photographer) was pretty great, too.
And how sweet were their five kids?
My mother's the silly one in the middle. (!)
Go drag out those dusty albums and share your old photos, too! I'd love to see :)
Oh, these are absolutely beautiful, the sepia is just fantastic! And yes, she was a lovely lady, what gorgeous keepsakes!
