Show and Tell Friday
Kelli is hosting Show and Tell Friday and I think it is a wonderful idea so I am going to try and participate every Friday. The idea is to showcase something special in your home and it was hard deciding but today I am going to share old photos. I have many, many old family photos from both my family and my husband's family. Many of them are on these photo ledges I got at Pottery Barn.
I even have a photograph of the first family reunion that I attended on Cape Cod recently.
I believe it was held on a Fourth of July in NH in the early 20's and despite it probably being hotter than blazes all the men are in the white shirts and ties and the women are in dresses. I'm glad we don't dress like that everyday now!
These last two pictures I just recently had framed to go into out new family room that is being built. They are pictures of my husband's grandfather at Colby College where he was an athlete. One of the pictures is a basketball team and other is football. The basketball has an" '07 " on it so I think it is appropriate that 100 years later it is finally going to be on display. I hope you enjoy my show and tell. Be sure to visit Kelli's blog and check out all the links to the other show and tells.
I have a lot of old photos also and did not know how to display them. Photo ledges are such a great idea (I like the way you have everything displayed). Thanks for sharing that.

You gave me an idea! I have so many photos but hate putting holes in my walls. The type shelves you used are perfect for displaying several photos and only putting holes to hold up the shelves. Why hadn't I thought of that before? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to display your beautiful black & white family photos. I love the photo ledges.
ReplyDeleteChris, I love your old black & white family photos and how you have them wonderfully displayed! I want to do this one day in my daughter's room when she is done with college. Her room will be our guest room then. Great job!
