Ladies A Shopping / Vintage Photo

As you can tell from past posts I am full of emotions when it comes to the past and the stories that are lost. What were these ladys shopping for, and most important, what were their names. I found this photo in an old family photo album of my Grandmothers. I love the hats. Each one is so different.

As an pencil artist I would love to bring this photo to life with a portriat, but I am short on time at this moment and this one would be a challange.

I am new to Postcard Friendship Friday idea, and am excited on hearing from you and what you are talking about. I have been using this blog to share my Pencil Portraits and future drawing ideas. I don't post as often as I would like, but will try more often with more subjects.

I couldn't agree more. I have a huge album of family photos from the 1800s and hardly any of them are even named. I'd so love to know more about the people, their stories. My first grandchild has just been born and I am determined she will know the family better.

Your pencil art is just lovely and welcome to PFF. This is a wonderful postcard. You do wonder what these ladies/girlfriends were up to that day!
