    Oh my goodness Kat, to actually have one of the earliest forms of photography of a relative is so cool. We have collected the daguerreotypes and ambrotypes and tins for many years, but I'm so excited to see yours is of family!! Sighing here. Love how you framed it up with the one of your daughter. xo ~Lili

    Great photo with your daughter in the background. I"m afraid the lighting is so dim at this time of the year that it is hard to work with (at my level of proficiency anyway).

    I love looking at old photos. Kat, just look at your great grandmother's tiny, tiny waist. I am so envious.

    Oh, how interesting. I've been taking photos with my phone this weekend. And hey, today I bit the bullet and bought the vacuum I've been talking about. So psyched! Brought it home and vacuumed half the house. Tomorrow it's going to get another work out.

    Its amazing that you have the old photo of your great grandmother...and even more amazing that your great grandfather took it! It must be in your genes, Kat! That is a lovely photo of your sweet daughter peeking through, too!
