Words & Pictures.

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!

  4. aww so sweet/funny!
    good luck with PASTA - the thought of making it from scratch is both TERRIFYING and INTRIGUING (mostly terrifying).

  5. How sentimental and genuine! It's always a good reminder to see that humanity is capable of that :)

    And 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!

  6. 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

  9. These photos warm my heart! I love that even though time moves forward, human sentiment and emotions stay the same.

    And 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!

  12. Ah! I love this! I collect old photographs of couples [specifically marriage ones] but like what everyone is saying, definitely a good find!

    two things:

    learning to make pasta from scratch! Sounds so fun, do take pictures and post please. :)

    & your brothers photographs on FVF are so beautiful and natural...and I love that light too. :)

  16. Monica, 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! :)
