Look what I found.....

Old Photos!!

This past weekend while clearing out clutter

for the garage sale I came across these old photos.

I actually took all of these shots myself...yep little ole me...

the first one

~  goats on a dirtroad ~

was taken back in 1987

on my Grandparents farm here in North Carolina

I love this pic! I remember the moment I took it..

My Grandmother ( MaMaw) was standing right beside me....

I miss her. I miss the farm.

They had a great farm!

( today there are about 100 homes where the farm used to be ) :-(

I had forgotten about this pic until I found it in a box

I'm so glad I have it!

Now granted~  these are not professional pics but

they were taken with an old 35MM Camera

(a good one)

but still....

these were just prints that I found in a box

scanned them into my computer

then played around in picnik ( my new addiction)

and voila! I have great old photos that I love,

 and can now share with all my blogger friends!

This one

I'll call it...

~ stumpkin ~

:-)

 was taken about the same time

at Blacks Produce in Denver, NC

Just a few miles from where I grew up.

~ blueridge beauties ~

These beautiful horses were grazing in their pasture

along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Boone, NC

My sweetie and I stopped to take in the scenery and

snap a few pics....it was beautiful!!

I love how the one horse is looking at me...:-)

~metro expo~

This photo was taken at the Metrolina Antique Show

in Charlotte, NC back in the late 80's as well.

I love that show and still try to go every month if I can.

~ sweet horse~

This sweetie was also along the Blue Ridge Parkway

she came right up to the fence when we stopped.

I love this pic...

 the barbed wire fence

the bark on the tree

the grey/white color of the horse

and she's looking right at me!

~ pretty little pinks~

I was working for Lake Norman Magazine

at the time I took this ~ the editor liked it so much

she published it in the monthly edition.

The pink daisies were growing along side this

old post in my Mom's backyard.

So finding these old photos has fallen right into

my project of changing things around on the blog.

I already changed the background & added a new header

ShabbyBlogs.com makes it EASY!!

 next I want to create a button for JUNKWILD.

So here are a few I'm playing around with...

I'm not sure how to get the whole "button thing" to work

so if any of you have any tips please pass them on...

Let me know what you think of these!

This beautiful, old, chippy metal chair

sat under a giant oak tree in my backyard

in Davidson for about 8 years

I sold it ( I know!...what was I thinkin'!!)

It was about 6 different colors

I about cried when I saw this photo

This one( and the next) are of an old iron

chippy white

 scroll bracket I have for sale

in the JUNKWILD space @ Treasures On Main.

I would love to hear what you think of these photos!

Did you have a favorite?

late addition...

I was going to post pics of my front porch decorated for Halloween...

but my daughter has been suffering with a toothache the last few days

and now needs a root canal :-(

so I spent most of the last two days

taking care of  Sweet Hannah...(my Grandbaby).

 I am linking this post to
