I have a couple of presents for all you artsy, creative types.
Or just those of you who really love vintage cabinet cards!
I scored a big old box of cards and photos at yesterdays estate sale for a pittance,
and wanted to share them with all of you.
and wanted to share them with all of you.
First up is the cutest little gal I think I've ever seen...don't forget to click to enlarge...
Meet Iris Bridges, 14 months.
Photo taken August 22, 1902.
Isn't she adorable? I can't wait to see what y'all create with this wonderful image!
Next up...well, to borrow from my friend LuLu Kellogg,
this is where sweet and sinister meet!
Found in the same box of cabinet cards...meet Mrs. Maggie Henderson...
Get a load of those spindly fingers!
You think she and Iris were related? Surely not!
Anyway, I really can't wait to see you folks
get your craft on with this chick!
So, enjoy!
And enjoy this lovely Spring day, too!

This photo was taken right before Miss Henderson starred in the movie "The Wizard of Oz"; no make up or costuming needed! Ha ha!
Where are her flying monkeys?
love ya,
Debra
LOL, Debra's comment is just what I was thinking :-) Little Iris is so cute and I'm thinking that might be what my grandmother looked at about the same time. She was born in 1900.
Blessings,

ANNE,
I LOVE YOUR CREEPY STYLE, THERE IS A DEEP AND DARK SIDE OF MY PASSION FOR ART AS WELL,
I LOVE THE RUSTED IRON BED IN TWIN JUST THE HEAD BOARD THAT I MAY USE AS A POT RACK OR WALL ART TO HANG MY TAGS AND FAVORITE INSPIRING PLACES FROM.

KEEP CREATING AND INSPIRING!!

halloween is right around the corner - in the crafting world - and i think mrs henderson would make a right dandy witch ...pop a little crepe paper pointy hat on her head would about be all it needs ..
OMG...that maay be one of the cutest baby's I've ever seen...oh I will be using her soon in something special I'm sure!!! Thanks for sharing friend.
Smiles,
Susie

Thank you, Anne, for sharing Mrs. Henderson with us. She will be PERFECT for Halloween. I plan to adorn her with a lovely pointed hat. Her skin may also get a slight tinge of green. Muuuuaaaahh!
Teresa
Thank you Anne, for sharing those with us. The lady is a bit spooky, but I am sure she was sweet as peaches.... bless her heart.
thanks for the photos Ms. Twig!
Hi Anne,
This might be how LuLu envisions her nemesis, Lucretia!
She is one scary lookin babe! I bet her hubs and kids toed the mark!!
The little girl though is just precious.
hugs
Sissie
I dont know about scary, I think all my photos of my past relations look like Mrs Henderson. Obviously it was not ladylike to smile at a camera..or was that the cameraman!
Thank you for sharing your great finds with us!
What marvelous photos! You always wonder what they were thinking, because in those days everyone was quite serious!Hugs Anne
Talk about working your fingers to the bone...Maggie must have had some major household duties!
Debbie
Why does the second photo make me start humming Ding Dong the Witch is Dead?
mrs. henderson is a dandy. she definetly has a mind of her own. you could look at her for very long time and come up with various thoughts. and iris, well,it is darling,but in away she frightens me. ask me how,i don't know.Bestest,Denise
Thanks for sharing, sounds like you had a great day!
Debby
Talk about opposites!!!
Thanks for sharing...
Effie
They sure are quite opposite aren't they!!! But I do love to sit & wonder about the girls...Maggie gives me alot to imagine! :)
Thank you so much Anne!!! The baby is so precious!!! The lady, uh, not-so-much....I imagine I'll be seeing her in some Halloween artwork this fall! I hope you have a wonderful week sweetie! hugs and love, Dawn
Seriously - Mrs. Maggie DOES NOT look happy... and she looks like she's ready to commit the murder of the photographer! I wonder if there are any MIA photographers - murder mystery gone unsolved - in her neighborhood? haHA!
That little girl is SO CUTE!!!

Cheers, blessings and happy hunting/selling!

Hi Anne, Thanks for sharing those great images! I saved Mrs. Henderson right into my Halloween folder. She's got such a piercing glance.
Have a great afternoon!
Hugs,
Julia
I sure hope I am not related! lol I do love her shawl though!
Iris is a doll! Maggie on the other hand...
how come I hear the Wicked Witches theme from Wizard of Oz when I look at her???
*hugs*deb
