Here is a little taste of what is on offer at this week's Sepia Saturday. You are invited to add to the menu by bringing along your own creations in the form of your old photographs that ,ay or may not be related to our theme image. All you need to do is to share your image in a blog post, post that post on or around Saturday 2nd March 2019, and then add a link to the list below. And whilst you are waiting for your sepia soup to cool down, take a look at what is to come in the next couple of weeks.
I seem to be on familiar territory with this week's Sepia Saturday theme image - in the comfortable surroundings of a cosy wine merchants establishment in Paris. The photograph is entitled "Marchand de vin rue Boyer" and is by the French photographer, Eugène Atget (1857-1927). The photograph is held in the archives of the George Eastman Museum and forms part of their Flickr Commons stream. They estimate the date of the photograph to be around 1910-11.
As usual, we invite you to look at the image and find something within it to act as a connection with an old image from your own collections. Let your thoughts flow like fine French wine and share with us some of your best vintage photographs. All you need to do is to post your posts on or around Saturday 23 February 2019 and then add a link to the list below.

You will notice that I have been doing a little long-overdue housekeeping on the Sepia Saturday Blog. I have included a new Sepia Saturday header image, and also updated the links to the blogs of Sepia Saturday participants. If I have missed your blog from this list, please let me know and I will add it.
We have all sorts going on in this week's Sepia Saturday theme images: windows, reflections, women, men, shops .... you name it and you can blog it. The photograph comes from the collection of the George Eastman Museum on Flickr Commons and is by the French photographer Eugene Atget (1857-1927). All you need to do is to come up with your own interpretation of a match and post your post on or around Saturday 16th February 2019 and then add a link to the list below.
Whilst you are window-shopping through your collection of old photographs, you might want to consider the next two Sepia Saturday theme images.
You know what it's like when you get back from holiday - there is no food in the cupboard, the fridge is empty, and for some reason the gas oven isn't working. You have to do the best you can with whatever is available: get a few twigs, light a fire and boil up some privet leaf soup. Once you have had your fill, settle back and try and come up with a match for this week's Sepia Saturday. Whatever you come up with, post it on or around Saturday 9th February 2019 and add a link to the list below.
