Sepia Saturday suggests some photos of children to me this week!
An English ad, which talks of Mackintosh's Toffee as being a sweet that's food and warmth...?
I've found some pictures of children, not in ads however.
The real people in Little House on the Prairie

Seated, left to right: Caroline, Charles, and Mary (who became blind.) Standing, left to right Carrie, Laura, and Grace. This picture was taken in 1894. The Ingles family with Laura eventually writing the books which her daughter (not pictured) helped and may have changed some details, but we'll never know.

Today's quote:
“In every work of art something appears that does not previously exist, and so, by default, you work from what you know to what you don’t know.”
Ann Hamilton, artist, in essay titled “Making Not Knowing,” adapted from her 2005 commencement address at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Today's art:
Mary Cassatt, Breakfast in Bed, 1897

And today is the first opportunity to boycott purchasing ANYTHING, to show the power of the consumers to those riding wildly over our welfare.
And I'll just give you the link to .Americans of Conscious (AOC)..which has a great list of good news, as well as some actions that are easy for us to take and can show our opinions where they count.
Wonderful collection of sepia photos and family photos,
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Hope your Friday the 28th is great also, and a great weekend to come1
Delete...fabulous walk back in time.
ReplyDeleteOur Sepia Saturday group (open to all) is fun for me to delve back and find some photos in my collections to meet the prompt photo (and sometimes I don't actually!)
DeleteMy not-really-aunt would often bring me a bar of Macintosh Toffee on her almost weekly visits. While appreciated, I would have preferred chocolate. 😊
ReplyDeleteThere's an echo here...a doppelganger with your name said just the same thing! But I am glad to know at least one of you ate Macintosh Toffees!

DeleteLovely pictures, thank you. Those mother/daughter matching dresses! Were they a thing?
ReplyDeleteI think the mother/daughter matching dresses was a great offshoot of all the new seamstresses who had their own sewing machines, and could buy patterns of the matching outfits for both sizes. It's also part of the WW II do-it-at-home efforts to reduce materials to be used in the war effort, though I doubt that the air force would have had those pretty floral patterns on parachutes!
DeleteI enjoy seeing those old photos, thank you!
ReplyDeleteChildren give us hope, even on the bleakest days. I love the one of you and your mother! So precious. And those of your boys...such memories.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t buy anything today, but I did drop off the donations at Goodwill plus a few books at the little free library. I think we need a national takeback day for returning all the stuff we bought that we didn’t need.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you and your mom.
I love all your family photos and the one of Jane Addams. You've reminded me it might be a good time to reread her book Twenty Years at Hull House.

Lovely photos of children and history. And I didn't buy anything on Friday, though I can't say how effective that was. I have been regularly writing emails to my representatives to complain about the mess the president has created. I think the next one WILL BE IN ALL CAPS! (Sorry for shouting.)
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the real Ingalls family. (I have watched the TV series a few times over the decades.) - Also interesting to learn about the Americans of Conscience. Good to know it's not just us over here in Europe that are shocked about all the recent... well, this, that and whatever...
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of vintage images and happy family photographs with lots of long lasting memories.
