BOOKS FOR THOSE WHO LOVE EPHEMERA AND VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPHY
NO PINTEREST
I'm not really fond of Pinterest because I find the idea of just going around the net and grabbing stuff to put on a page under your name is a bit lazy. • I have discovered that there is a woman, Diane Harris-Day, who has chosen to use my title, Tattered and Lost, for ephemera she posts. I find this irritating. • That said, I just want people to be aware that I am NOT that woman. I find it odd that she chose the title I have been using for years. It's one thing to take someone's images, it's a whole other thing to appropriate their identity.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is awesome! The scarf looks like it's silk...such beautiful detail. I love the letter, too.
ReplyDeleteLove old letters and when a treasure is enclosed, it's even better. Loved looking at these.
ReplyDeleteGreat treasure!
ReplyDeleteA little blessing in an envelope, words and fabric both. They don't make them like this anymore.
ReplyDeletePeople don't know what they're missing by not sending real mail. I do remember getting a hankie in an envelope from a great aunt back in the 50. I still have the hankie, but the card is long gone. Thank you Aunt Nell.
