Hello all - I really detest neglecting this blog, but when I've got so much work I haven't much of a choice. I had hoped to post about once a week, but sadly the posting will probably continue to be sporadic until after Thanksgiving.

Today we have some older dames from a Savannah junk shop. This one has no marking whatsoever, but who could forget that face? :)


I find it interesting that both of these women are wearing very, very similar pearl necklaces. Glasses too. This lady does have an inscription on the back:


there is an address written very lightly in pencil and scratched out in blue. but under it, in the same old blue ballpoint, it reads:

"Oct. 1963 -
This is Grace's mother, Mrs.
Piut or Pia Lakes, whom I knew
the year I lived w/ them in Norfolk,
& Mrs. Lakes was very dear & kind
to me. She lived to be about 96.
Helen Brett Quarterman"

I don't know if the date there refers to only the date of the inscription, or the date the photo was taken. I'm more inclined to the former.
