Revisiting the $5.00 Box of Photos...

Light snow is falling outside my window today, so it seemed a good day to stay indoors and revisit the $5.00 box of vintage photos that I bought back in aught-nine... 2009, that is.

As I was wandered through time in a box, I came across these photos....

I do believe they are photos of Miss CherryBubbles and her faithful canine companion, Mr. Lucky, in a past life.

And here's Miss CherryBubbles and Mr. Lucky in their present day "past life."

I'm often amazed to come across photographs, prints, or illustrations in thrift and antique shops that could be me and my puppy dog somewhere back in time. And I usually feel compelled to add them to my growing collection...

Have you ever found vintage photos of yourself and your pet in a past life?

Bye Bye Blues...

I was feeling a little blue this morning... maybe because the day started out so grey and chilly. All the recent warm bright sunny days we've had here spoiled me a bit.

Well, sometimes I'm amazed at what small things will bring me out of a funk in two shakes. Remember the $5.00 box of old photos? It's been awhile since I've taken the box off the shelf, so I thought it might cheer me up to look through them again. After all, there are lots of swell people doing interesting things or just standing about looking nifty in their old-timey outfits - like these two from a previous post.

Then, a few photos down in one of the piles, I ran into this picture...

and I laughed right out loud.

That photo alone was enough to chase away the blues. But I kept on looking and found this adorable picture...

Don't they look like a fun couple?


Now, if only I had a pair of jodhpurs, I'd be as slap-happy as these two...

So, tell me, what little things help you say "Bye Bye Blues"?
