Submitted for the Vintage Photos Theme Park monthly topic of: HOLIDAY GET-TOGETHERS Found in a free box in Newport New Hampshire, summer 2023. Written on the back in pencil "Three generations". I'm not sure if the man on the right is a very young looking dad to the man on the left - or if the person is being funny and counting the dolls. What do you think? The little girl is sitting on a stuffed puppy (At least, I think that's what it is!).

So proud! Emerson.

Shepherd.

Henry.

All in red.

Maximum load. Wes.

Maximum load - but still some design!

An innovative blue. Hazel.

With mittens and one blind eye. : )

Looks like they just took armfuls of fiberglass and popcorn chains and just threw them at the tree! Plus, the tree is too tall and rather than trimming the top they've just bent it and put the star lower. Pretty funny. Found photo at Vintage Inspired Marketplace, Burlington, Vermont. Taken in the 1950s or 60s.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: On the Street Where You Live. (Although this is admittedly a rural rather than a residential setting). I bought this "photo on cardboard" at a garage sale in East Middlebury from a descendent of "Grandma Porter" the pregnant woman in the picture. The man is unknown but very likely her husband. The friendly man who sold it to me told me that the house burned down not too long after this picture was taken - but that no-one was hurt. Looking at Family Search I think this is possibly: Etta (Esther Jennie Currier) Porter with Frederick M Porter - and that she will have a son, Roy Fred Porter, born May 10, 1901. Penciled on the back: Grandma Porter c. 1901 Taken near Glover, VT Imprinted: Bartonia Photo Co. Boston Mass. Since the town of Barton is only 2 miles away, I wonder if "Bartonia" is a local licensee of the Boston Company? The town of Glover is in the area of Vermont called the "Northeast Kingdom".

Bought in Bristol from an old house on the green that was having an estate sale. At some point I want to take this to the Bristol Historical Society to see if anyone can identify her. I would guess this is in the late 1910s to early 1920s.

Rescanned for the HFF group. Bristol, Vermont. So far, we've had less snow this December and the snow plows have only been out once. HFF everyone. May your weather be enjoyable wherever you are in this world!

Two little girls in their holiday dresses with triple layers of Christmas cards behind them. I still love to send and receive cards - especially photo ones! I purchased this card in Bristol - November '23. The dealer told me it came from an estate sale in nearby Weybridge, Vermont. I wrote down the girls' names - but can't find what I did with the paper. I'll post when I find it.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: VIEW FROM A HILL OR MOUNTAIN This is a Glass Plate Negative purchased in East Middlebury, Vermont. I don't remember suggesting this topic - but I probably had something in mind from my collection. Forgotten what it was now - so here's this one! As often happens, by the time it comes around I've completely forgotten what prompted my suggestion - and have to look for something new. Then, generally, after a few weeks the original will pop up again - and I'll either be pleased that I chose a new one - or annoyed that I passed up the perfect choice. Does any of this sound familiar, friends?
