I never knew the story behind it, but wish I did.Jackie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16731953677857042880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-7112255761253625602011-05-11T21:44:56.724-05:002011-05-11T21:44:56.724-05:00Old photographs and Bibles are such personal thing...Old photographs and Bibles are such personal things. I found an old photograph in an antique store of a young man, and he became the hero of my current work. I have the photo posted on the wall by my computer so I can look at him while I write. I ADORE antique furniture and like you, Erica, I try to imagine some of the family history attached to such a piece.Connie Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862809219202000443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-71808645265330606202011-05-11T20:57:38.098-05:002011-05-11T20:57:38.098-05:00A lovely post, Connie.

I think of all the years it sat in her farmhouse kitchen, the catch-all just inside the back door, the holder of the family keepsakes.<br /><br />I wish it could tell its own story, so I could learn more about the past hundred and fifty years and my husband's family.Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-28833616996025350472011-05-11T16:00:26.091-05:002011-05-11T16:00:26.091-05:00What a wonderful post, Connie!

I have my Swedish grandparents Bibles that they received from their parish when they decided to immigrate. I often imagine their lives then and what it was like for them.Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-59154956142629098702011-05-11T11:10:53.121-05:002011-05-11T11:10:53.121-05:00It wasn't so much a keepsake, as sepia tinted ...It wasn't so much a keepsake, as sepia tinted photographs. My grandfather's brother served as a cavalary officer in the British Raj (rule) of India before India's independence. I grew up on stories of my Irish ancestors who served during this fascinating era in India. That was the stimulus of my own debut novel, Shadowed in Silk. I think our own family histories are what seed the best stories in us.Christine Lindsayhttp://www.christinelindsay.comnoreply@blogger.com
