Love to go rummaging through "Antique Stores" on rainy days. I picked up a whole box of old photos that belonged to ??who knows who?? for only a couple of bucks. Poured a couple of glasses of wine and sorted through them, I have to say we had quite a few laughs...does this mean some strangers or worse, my own great grandkids will do the same with my photos...I am sure, as long as I'm not around to witness it, who cares. Anyway...what a treasure! My plan is to photoshop them and frame them in different series. These are really cute for "Beach Couples." They were in pretty good shape, although different hues of black and white, some pinky, some with green tint. So I scanned them and made them all the same hue with the PS. So I will pick up some similar frames [I'm thinking white with a pinkish hue to match pics, they have them at Marshalls for about $4 each] and hang them, maybe on the screened porch, if that is the right spot. I will post a pic when I get them up.

Fabulous idea! I always wondered what would happen to the thousands of pictures I've taken over the years. I'm sure they'll get tosses someday too. But, with digital cameras and photos downloaded onto computers, I'm guessing "real photos" will eventually become valuable since most people never get around to printing them out. Who knows! Enjoy your pictures.
Nice blog - I'm returning the visit you made to mine.
I'm impressed with your blogging, photoshop, scanning, jet setting.
Those old photos - I think the card companies buy them up and make greeting cards from them.
all the best.
