This has to be my hands-down favorite find of the year. I picked it up in Texas this past April and I have been chuckling ever since. Inscribed: "This is Garnet & I as / we were shopping in / Decatur / Garnet was talking / so her mouth was / open Ha Ha as it / usually is." {click image to view larger}Counting the days until the March 2011 release of the new Jane Eyre movie. I won't tell you how many times I have watched the trailer (it would be embarrassing to admit). Filmed on locations throughout Derbyshire, including Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, and North Lees Hall (the latter generally thought to be Brontë’s inspiration for Rochester's Thornfield Hall).
Happy weekend. The gentleman and I have some festive plans (which include shopping for a Christmas tree).

Fascinating, too, to see how the wearing of hats was then (1950s?) second-nature to people.
Yes, the JANE EYRE trailer gives evidence that the film will be a visual eyeful.
What a wonderful find and I love the inscription on the back!
Thanks for the trailer link to "Jane Eyre"...my all time favorite book! Still wishing Alan Rickman would play Rochester :-( !!!
WHAT a photograph! I cannot wonder that it's your favorite of the year. Absolutely riveting in every detail, from the coat to the friend's glance.
I think the woman in black looks a bit like FDR in drag! Love the hats, of course. I might even be persuaded about the sensible shoes (being a foot surgery alum). Would love to know a friend named Garnet.
But who would have taken such a photo of shoppers???? And why??
