Pictures for November 2022

When I buy these photos, the ladies and I always have the same discussion, “why would any family sell these precious photos?” So, I do it for you to enjoy and possibly recognize as one of your own. If that is the case, you are welcome to copy and paste!

The images at the bottom of the picture of these little guys is of their hair. I was drawn to the picture because of this. I do not know if they died early but their mother had the tenderness to include them in the photo, thus giving it life. I left the shop to think about whether or not to purchase this, mainly because of the price. I soon returned with the impression that these objects draw us to them for a reason. I buy them to share. These were a good woman’s children. She took the time to include pieces of their hair for posterity’s sake. It tugged at my own maternal heart strings.

One of the ladies at the shop that I do most of my shopping reminded me that sometimes there are other photos underneath the front photo. I have certainly found this to be true as well as in the following picture. It is this man’s original photo. I love it more so than the painting and would love to have known who he was and more about him.
