Vintage Labor Day Photos - Freebies

1904 Parade Float

Cruising Down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. with the Capital in the backgroud

Waiting for the Parade

The Baker's Union . Detroit is/was one of the big Union cities. They are all for worker's rights. The Unions hold big power.

1913 Suffragettes marching in the local parade. How much these women suffered so I could have the right to vote. I admire them more than words can say. Still waiting for equal rights!

We are going into Labor Day Weekend so I thought these vintage photographs would be fun to share. I will post some more tomorrow. These might be fun copied and put in ball jars with candles for your labor day table. Or a nice banner made with them. Enjoy!

Tin Type Ancestors - Freebies

Sisters. They are sitting so still and straight. I love the younger one's plaid dress and necklace. They seem wise beyond their years in this photograph.

 

I love Mom's gloves and the little girls doll. Notice that the little girl is wearing gloves also. They must have been pretty well off.

 

These look like happy kids. Beautiful clothes. I wonder what they are reading?

 

The little girl looks just like her mother. Hopefully she will stay sweet. Mom looks a little stern or maybe she just bit into something rather bitter.

 

I wonder what Mom had to say to keep everyone so still for this picture.

Did everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend here in the states? I did. Lots of food and good company. I did not get to see all of my boys, but those I did share the holiday with we had lots of fun. My sister drove over from the Nashville area and spent a few nights. It was really nice.

It got me thinking about family an ancestors. This week I am sharing some tin types. These photographs are literally developed onto metal - tin. They were quite popular and most important affordable. I hope you enjoy them.
