Sepia Saturday 37

Last week, the delightful Marilyn from New Zealand (My Magpie Collection) gave us a Sepia Saturday post which featured her grandfather (George Richard Parsons).  There was a wonderful sepia photograph, a full and fascinating account of his life, and as an additional bonus, even his pastry recipe. It was a classic Sepia Saturday post and one which I very much enjoyed reading. But I don't think I have come across one I haven't enjoyed in all the weeks I have been hosting Sepia Saturday. And remember, the photographs don't have to be sepia : as I said to someone last week, sepia is a state of mind and not just a colour.

The recipe for our continued pleasure is an easy one. Just post an old photograph, tell us about it and add a link to the post on the list below. Sepia Saturday 37 will take place on or around Saturday 21st August. Everyone is invited.

    Allen, I just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I appreciate Sepia Saturdays and your role in organizing them. I have learned so much and been transported through so many family histories. It's truly a joy. Thank you!

    Hi Alan, thank you for Sepia Saturday; I too thoroughly enjoy Marilyn's posts and naturally all the other interesting family sagas.
    The sepia photo of her grandfather is particularly beautiful.

    This week I have an adorable little boy and girl dressed in their finest. It was purchased a few weeks ago at an estate sale. I can only imagine little boys today standing still wearing what this little fellow had to wear.

    Thanks Alan for hosting this fun event.

    I'm still in the Forties and WWII with my recently discovered cache of ephemera and photos.

    I would like to thank you for your very kind words and for having my grandfather's photo in this weeks Sepia Saturday header. I do appreciate your Sepia Saturday blog and of being able to take part in it. I find everyone's entry so interesting and enjoy reading each one. I have a small piece about my mother-in-law and her sisters this week, a little in sight into their childhood.

    Mine is up : it might sound a bit effusive and sentimental .... but it's cheaper than sending an anniversary card
