It has been with me ever since and is now 136 years old.

I inherited intricate pieces of needlework done by my grandmother and her older sisters.

Posted for our friend Gattina's weekend meme Saturday Photo Hunting. The theme this week is "vintage".

The baby in the photo below is my MacKenzie grandfather. He only had two sisters and the younger one, with fair hair in the back with Great-Grandpa, died in her teens. His other sister (right) lived to a good age.

You obviously had good taste even as a child. That photo is a lovely keepsake and their dresses are wonderful xxx
Wow re your story about the desk. Am glad your love for that desk has lasted all these years. :)
Omw Kay, what beautifully nostalgic memories. (I love the first one about the desk!) I love this meme and hope to join it soon. Have a great weekend. Jo xxx
How nice to have this history :-)
These are very nice vintages ! You know what I found out that all these old family pictures look the same, in wester countries even the clothes. I have one like this of my grandparents with my mother and sister as children ! and some other family pictures too.
I'm so glad you ended up getting the beautiful desk. The vintage needle work is so nice too.
Happy weekend!
Some lovely "vintage" items. The old photograph is great. Have a nice weekend. Mickie :)
The family portrait is great!
God bless you!

Love the old black and white photo, Kay. The people in it are a touch haunting. I can SO see you and your youngest brother in some of those faces!
You found some very nice vintage here!
I love old family photos like this, Kay. I have a digital copy of one, made in the late 1800's, of my grandfather with his parents and siblings. And Gattina is right: they all look similar!
Love the story of the desk! And the family pictures and memories are perfect.
