This was my Christmas Present

This past Christmas, Mr. gave me this beautiful picture.

Its from the 40's. And it is  just stunning.


I wish I could read the writting on the bottom.

A Second Marriage

I figure this is a second marriage, possibly two widowers, or a widower taking a wife or husband.

We (The Mr. and I) think the second couple could be thier kids.

This used to be on my wall, but its down right now, as it needs repair on the back.

Sparkle

So sorry, really, truly sorry. This cold/flu/ Satan Virus the  Second Boy Child gave me makes me loopy and tired.

But you don't want to hear my excuses...On with the show!

Beautiful isn't it? The detail on the dress alone makes me sigh and gives me the weepy glee's. OK,maybe a little to over dramatic on my end. :)

She's a younger bride, from a family of means. I say that because of the dress and its detail. Its not a plain white dress. It has ruffles and a satin or silk sash. The beading on the bodice is simply stunning! There, but not overly done. Enough for some sparkle.

Now he, the groom. Look at him. Distinguished. His aura radiates from this picture. A man who knows his place in the world and knows what to do to improve it.

This picture comes to us from

the Chas E. Wright Photography studio

from

Beloit, Wisconsin

I am dating this late 1910's to early 1920's

So sorry, so sorry

I've been off for a week. Oy...do not wish this cold/flu thing on anyone.
I do have a nice week of posts planned and will start tonight, fingers crossed.


hugs and love

Another Part of my Collection.

It started by accident. It was mixed up with some old photos I had just bought. And for some reason, it broke my heart more than finding toss away wedding portraits ever could. Some couples marriage licence. The (to me) official proof that a couple had got married. Tossed away with some old pictures in a cardboard box. So I kept it. Its still as pristine as the day it was printed, which is January 31st, 1961.

So it became another part of my ever growing collection. Along with some framed decorative marriage certificates. Those, when I get a better camera, I will post pictures of someday.

Beaded Dress

Look at it! Its just so detailed!
This defiantly from the Twenties. The drop waist on her dress and her sleeves.
The Groom is quite handsome, don't you think? He looks so content, as does she.

Tomorrow, I'll let you see another part of my collection. Its not all just pictures :)

Detroit

Isn't it pretty? They are so relaxed with each other. That head dress is just darling, and lilies in the bouquet!

Unfortunately...the frame around the picture was cut. I could whimper, but I won't. At least I got the city, state and photog.

Dapper and he knows it

I am focusing on the groom today. They don't get thought of much in the wedding process, do they? Its always the Bride or the decor. But this Groom...He's Dapper and he knows it

Look at him. His stance, its like "Alright, I look good, I got this lovely woman by my side. Perfect."

Pretty little hat

I love the lace. And such a detailed bouquet. And that hat. I love it. I love how the lace matches the brim of the hat

They look so happy and content with their love for each other.
