I just spent a good hour scrolling through Ransom Riggs's "Talking Pictures" archive on Mental Floss, which features found photos along with their original - and often very funny - notes and captions. There are so many great ones, but my favorite has to be that cute couple in the middle ("I am saying to her - 'ah cut it out'"). See much, much more, here.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forward to visiting the farmers' market, getting a much-needed haircut, and trying my hand at making pasta from scratch - wish me luck!
Found via Pink Shirts and Car Wrecks.
Love these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, the entire series is fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. Good luck with pasta-making! Exciting.
ReplyDeleteOohhh my goodness, I love these! The captions are so sweet and funny.
ReplyDeleteaww so sweet/funny!
ReplyDeletegood luck with PASTA - the thought of making it from scratch is both TERRIFYING and INTRIGUING (mostly terrifying).
How sentimental and genuine! It's always a good reminder to see that humanity is capable of that :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the sweet notes about my redesign! It's always a risk - but I've been dabbling in HTML and constantly fear that I may have gone overboard!

Ah! This is one of my favorite things you've posted yet! I just love finding things like these -- sometimes I feel like people expressed themselves so beautifully in the generations before ours. It was so simple and straightforward, but so poetic, too. xo
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I love the one about life being wonderful when your in love!Have fun making pasta!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Friday~ What cute pictures~ I love the soda pop pic~ Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThese photos warm my heart! I love that even though time moves forward, human sentiment and emotions stay the same.
ReplyDeleteAnd a tip in case you don't have a pasta rack: I've found that hanging pasta from a clothes hanger works just as well. Have a great weekend!
these are absolutely lovely. there is something of the times captured in the expressions. something easeful.
ReplyDeletedelighted.
happy weekend,

What a great find, Shoko! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteAh! I love this! I collect old photographs of couples [specifically marriage ones] but like what everyone is saying, definitely a good find!
ReplyDeletetwo things:

So glad you enjoyed these as much as I did - I was so excited to stumble across this archive. So many treasures! And thank you all for your well wishes for the weekend and pasta-making!
ReplyDeleteKathy, thanks for the tip!
Roxy, will definitely post pics if they come out all right :) And I'll pass on your sweet compliment to Max - I'm sure he will appreciate it!
Shoko, these are wonderful! Makes me want to write on the backs of some of our photos. Sooo sweet!!
ReplyDeleteyou find the best stuff. these are going right to pinterest. and btw, how was the pasta making? we used to do it all the time when we were kids.
ReplyDeleteMonica, thank you! The pasta making was a blast but I think I need to give it another go before sharing pictures here - let's just say it wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing pasta in the world! Tasty, though! :)
