Sepia Saturday 764 : 1 March 2025

 

What could be better? A sweet that is food and warmth! You would never get away with advertising it like that today, but times change - even if our love of sweet and sticky things doesn't. This little advert is our Sepia (or Sweetia) Saturday theme this week and it can take you wherever you want - to tins of toffees, to old adverts, to children, or wherever you want to go in terms of your old photographs. Just unwrap your posts on or around Saturday 1st March 2025 and add a link to the list below. And take a look at the other selections we have in the box for the month of March:-

Sepia Saturday 763 : 22 February 2025

 

When I put this Sepia Saturday prompt together I went searching through my digital image archives and came up with this slightly musical image. I have called it "Singing Along" and credited it to "AB Collection", but I must confess that I am not sure where it is from and I don't seem to be able to find the original hard copy. In some ways this makes it even more suitable for Sepia Saturday - it is an orphan image looking for love. I'm not sure what the five of them were singing, but I hope that it was something suitably sepia. And all you need to do to join in with the chorus this week is to post your own old photograph on or around Saturday 22 February 2025 and add a link to the list below. And during the guitar solo, you might want top cast an eye on what is around the corner.

Not so much sitting on the fence, more standing on it. In case you are wondering, that's me - I am now so old I have become a Sepia Prompt. You can post old photos of fences, handsome young chaps, houses, or even me on or around Saturday 15th February 2025 and add a link to the list below. You can also post any old photo you want - we don't like rules here on Sepi Saturday, that's why we stand on the fence.

Sepia Saturday 761 : Saturday 8th February 2025

 

I'm back on my feet again - which is more than can be said about my father in this photograph taken sometime around 1930. He was doing a handstand on the seaside sands when some enterprising amateur photographer took a photograph. He probably knew that the photograph would become a perfect prompt image for Sepia Saturday ninety-five years later. So get out your old photographs - whether they be upside-down, inside-out or skew-whiff - and share them on or around Saturday 8th February 2025 by adding a link to the list below. And whilst you are standing on your head, take a look at what is around the corner here on Sepia Saturday.
