i recently was given this photo, among others that will feature soon, Im yet to find out where it fits in our family tree, but when i saw the Gentleman's Emporium collection , i thought , these papers are meant to be for this photo
It looks like the pole is just getting electricity and the person who took the photo wanted the pole in the middle of the house, as reminder, there are no wires im estimating the photo was around 1882, it may have been later, us siblings will have to meet with other cousins and see if any other photos are around the same era .im hoping so it looked like a beautiful home in its hey day , of course no televisions, then my father and grandfather were one of 9 children each, i believe this house may be my great grand parents home . as it was in my uncles processions when found .

Please note that the cardstock and papers for this collection are larger than 30 x 30 cm so have made mine to 30 x 30 (12 x 12 inch) to fit into my sleeves
You may have noticed ,that as my photo was large and had a lot of grass at the bottom, i didn't want to cut it off so placed my chipboard over it and it looks like part of the picture
.
i have also added a flair from Flairs with Crece ( can be bought at Mixed Gypsys )
hope you enjoyed my layout
