Every once in a while, she'd pull out something new... so fun to see those "old people" in a new light.Vicki Knitorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342431774644974327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-16580388456150843152015-04-05T19:25:00.262-04:002015-04-05T19:25:00.262-04:00Mary, I loved that you shared your photos.

My Mom used to play it! Wish we had pictures - but we don't!

If you can 'test' the bag and the embriodery before you give it a good soak, that'd be best. Otherwise, you might be safer not 'soaking' it all. Good luck and enjoy.<br />Cheers~Honoréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328955991011872557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-12174845891114969292015-04-03T09:53:16.052-04:002015-04-03T09:53:16.052-04:00The family resemblance is incredible!

They mean so much and tell the stories of our lives. How wonderful you have many of your own. The little bag is charming. My guess is the ties are cotton, but the embroidery is silk.

There is a real poignancy to black and white pictures that makes faces, expressions, and details stand out. I love that your grandfather is playing the accordion with a jug (wine?) and a pineapple, wearing a suit, no less!<br />Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.com
