Day Four---21 days til Christmas

A street scene in NYC

Day Four --21 Days til Christmas

Here is another great oldie!  At my Aunt & Grandmother Carney's house in front of the fireplace.  My sister & I are wearing dresses lovingly mad by my Mom--I think taffeta or some other material similar and Tom has on shrt pants that she made, too.

Day 2 24 days til Christmas

From the early 1950's--Me ( with the kitten Suzie) and my sister, Judie.  One of the photos taken  to get  " the right One" for our family Xmas card!

Day One --25 days til Christmas

I decided this would be the way to get back into blogging.  I have so many family Xmas photos and ones from NYC & Boston so I thought I'd share one a day.  This was taken 3 years ago in NYC--a shop window.

Happy Halloween!

This is  my sister Judie and I in costumes made by my Mom.  I should have looked up the year, but it was probably pre 1956 otherwise I think my brother would have been in the photo!

A Little Bit of Mexico in Intercourse PA!

Don't know why the Lapps sign is on this shop--it was the place next door, I think.   Across the street from a popular tourist place ( Kitchen Kettle Village) I found a wonderful shop that carried lots of Mexican things--handmade tin items, Talavera ( she even had sinks--I was very tempted) clothing and various other interesting doodads. 

 Right next door is an Amish coach shop that had beautiful handmade pieces of furniture, kitchen items and childrens toys.  Quite a contrast between the 2 shops but was glad to find both of them!

Monochrome Monday

I am hoping to push myself into getting back to blogging!  I haven't been taking many photos lately but I did spend a few days in Pennsylvania earlier this month and took some.  So I will be sharing those for awhile.
