Vintage Photos: Girls in Mary Jane Shoes and Little Patriots

Here are some sweet photos that I recently

added to my collection.

***********************************************

I thought this little girl was so sweet

holding her precious teddy bear.

I love the striped dress that she is wearing,

and thought that a copy of this one would

be good to experiment with a little photo tinting on,

perhaps coloring the stripes on her dress.

She is wearing Mary Jane shoes...

...just as are the little darlings in this one...

And, of course, how could I resist adding the two below to my

collection of patriotic photos.

Don't you just love the baby sitting in front of the flag?...

But my favorite of the four has to be this one.

Do photographers stage this way anymore?

Not to the best of my knowledge. How sad.

I wonder if these children were new to America

when it was taken...

By the way, the glittered stars seen in the photos above

were from the Fourth of July decorating section of Hobby Lobby.

They are stickers that range in sizes from

1-2 inches and came in a bag of 180 for $5.99.

So much cheaper than buying embellishments

in the scrapbook aisle.

We are planning to leave soon for The Wren's Nest,

so you may not hear from me for a bit.

Have a great day!
