Old and Older Photos

Too many photos!   I’m not quite done with Fiona’s book…and have to admit it was fun to look back..Here she is at 6 years old (early 2016) …we went through all these very old studio portraits of people that came form albums that were falling apart, that my Mom had and made up stories for all the families…who married who, their names  and all their children,  and what they all did for a living…some of those 19th C women would be surprised  (and pleased) at their jobs.   painter, artist, writer, etc…:-)    So of course I was looking for that book but can’t find it.   (I know it’s here somewhere…..)     Here are some that didn’t make it into our book ..a few have family names penciled in, but most do not.,   the thumbnail is "Uncle Gust" …it’s so interesting ..there are so many different studios doing these and they are all gorgeous... From studios in Chicago and the surrounding area.   The backs of some are works of art...the extra is the back of "Uncle Gust"
Here’s the link to the Blip about the stories 
I only went out today to buy more pages......
