I love that you posted this and the old-fashioned font you used to label the people. (Someday you must post a tutorial on how to do that.)

I always feel a little sorry for the people in old photos because they had to sit there so long that they couldn't hold a smile so long. Or maybe everyone was just really serious back then. ;-)

I love old photos..

Look at all those buttons on those dresses..

They are lucky they had invented the sewing machine by then, because can you imagine sewing those outfits by hand?

I wonder how long it took those gals to button up all those teeny-tiny buttons? Nevertheless, Superior Snap, Lizzy! And PS: Please pop over to participate in Sx3 today. We're in serious Donald Trump Mode!
