My First Found Photo


I have decided to collect old photos and to give them a home. I've always loved photography and old photos, I love looking at them, even if I don't know who they are.

I went to the market today and didn't find any but I decided to walk home and came across an old bric-a-brac store. You know the place, where the owners tend to collect anything and everything, the kind of place that I love to explore. Anyway, I was looking around and saw this cabinet card for $3, my first one. Then I turned around and saw an old suitcase filled with photos and postcards, this was a great find, I bought most of the photos (these will be in later posts) and will return from time to time to see what else I can find.

It was 30 years ago today



30 Years ago today the world watched a shy 20 year old become a princess. I was in England at the time, a 10 year old who didn't think about the royal family much and today would be no different, until I saw Diana walk up the aisle with her big puffy dress. I remember riding my bike to the shop and they had the telly on, as I was picking out my sweets I looked up and saw her, everyone in the shop stopped to watch and then I quickly rode home and watched the rest.

After that moment I remember going out and getting my mom to buy me a jigsaw puzzle, key rings and books about Diana and I also got the Diana haircut.
