I wish I was in possession of amazing snaps like this of my own relatives, too. (I&#39;ll be certain to check out your post on vintage dresses - one of my absolute fave fashion topics! - as soon as I finish this comment.)<br /><br />@ Nora, I agree, her smile is magnetic and was really what drew me to this wonderful shot.<br /><br />@ Landgirl, so do! I think I could make a full time job out of writing stories and/or poems based on the photos of strangers.<br /><br />@ Darla, thank you, sweet-heart. What an amazing photo to be in possession of. You&#39;re so lucky to have wonderful old pictures. (At first glance I thought that was her hair too, but after I looked at it a little longer, I realized it&#39;s the thin strap on her cute little purse.)<br /><br />@ Maggi, for sure, they are so much fun! I&#39;m going to start doing that too. Not only will I help preserve history, but it will give me lots of inspiration for my own looks and for blog posts.<br /><br />@ Sher, Excellently said, I think that she looks like life was her oyster (so to speak), too. I would have loved to have hung out with her.<br /><br />@ Elena, indeed, there are few treasures more precious than the visual links one has to their own past.<br /><br />@ Cait, I couldn&#39;t agree with you more. Whoever Winnie was, she was a truly lovely and vivacious looking woman.<br /><br />@ Katie, you&#39;re so lucky that grandma showed you through her old photos! I know there&#39;s that genealogy book that someone (I think on grandpa&#39;s side) had put together in the 80s or early 90s, that used to sit under their coffee table at their old house, but I don&#39;t recall grandma going through it (in any detail) or her old snaps with me when I was a kid. Hopefully she will one day though! <br /><br />The photos of granny&#39;s that I mentioned used to be on the side table in her living room, but I haven&#39;t been to her house in so many years that I&#39;m not sure where they would be now. I wonder if she&#39;d ever consider bringing them up to mom&#39;s when she visits??? (Tons of love to you too, my precious sister!)<br /><br /><br />Thank you deeply everyone for your insightful, lovely comments. <br /><br />Wishing you each a beautiful Wednesday,<br />JessicaJessica Cangianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72867413370033224352009-06-24T08:15:25.750-04:002009-06-24T08:15:25.750-04:00Hey Jess..

This one could have been one of the lovely gardens in Amsterdam. But thru all her wanderlusting she never forgot her high school friend at home who chose to raise a family. And always sent pictures home so her friend could live vicariously thru her too.<br /><br />(a picture is worth a thousand words, and we could write all sorts to old photos)Sherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724466373032206343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-1349245226024460132009-06-23T15:00:40.088-04:002009-06-23T15:00:40.088-04:00Old photos like this are the most fun, I love snatching them up when I see them (sadly) at garage sales and what not. I like giving them a new home. :)Maggihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14418996821092160355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-18241888563913963182009-06-23T13:40:32.269-04:002009-06-23T13:40:32.269-04:00You are spot on hunny. I love old photos no matter who they belonged to. My favorite old photo I have aside from the ones of my grandparetns and such would be this picture of a lady and her husband in the 1940&#39;s it was a gift and along with it I recieved her wedding china from the 1920&#39;s.<br /><br />Gorgeous photo is that a really long pony tail or something else?<br /><br />♥Darla: Retro Wayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14512930766630158867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-20376250154539236332009-06-23T13:23:32.834-04:002009-06-23T13:23:32.834-04:00I agree....I adore vintage photos and enjoy speculating about their lives!LandGirlontheHomeFronthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-239933813166555462009-06-23T13:21:23.278-04:002009-06-23T13:21:23.278-04:00What a lovely, engaging smile Winnie has!
