trouvée: treasures

From a group of photographs I found last week at an antiques mall in Weimar, Texas (along with an 1830 Irish sterling silver serving spoon!). Ahhh...treasures. No inscription or date, but if a picture can be worth a thousand words, I certainly think this one is. {click to view larger}

Some things:

* Muybridge!
* a Louis Faurer film rediscovered
* a Jasper Conran book: Country
* and The Duel (looks interesting)

Happy weekend! Hurrah!

mom ~ they very well could be!

BWS ~ I believe those pipes were particularly popular amoung German immigrants, bith men and women (many of whom settled in that area of Texas).

I love the camaraderie of those women!

The pleasure these women take in each other's company radiates through the decades that separate us from when this image was taken. Great photo.
