More Now and Then

I thought I would have more fun with this. I was recently doing some research on my house for Hudson Heritage (an organization IN Hudson for Historic Presevation) and came across these old images (Bruce Greer - credit) and I think it is so cool to look at history in in its contemporary form. These photos from top to bottom are my house now and when it had a porch on it. My Lila now and the "original" Lila of Maplewood Farm.

MapleWood Farm - Now and Then

This is our farm now and then (exact year not known). I think this image of the women "haying" at Maplewood Farm is so great! I also love the caption, because it says "according to Lila", who also lived here before our Lila. The "original" Lila of Maplewood Farm was 1 of 4 orphan girls taken on by one of the great grandaughters of the builders of our home. Lila and her husband also were married here.

Check out the spelling!!!

mirror how to...

From the post below of the fun mirror, I've gotten several questions on how to do it. Not having tried it myself, I suggest using paper and Modge Podge adhesive (which can be found at JoAnn or any craft store). Apply the cut papers with the Modge Podge and once it dries, apply a coat of it over it again. Hope this helps and if anyone tries this with success, send me a picture!! :) Have fun!
