I am really loving all these photo challenges lately and
here I am once again with my entries for "The Brenda Photo Challenge".
The subject for this challenge is ... Childhood Memories.
There's a never ending list to the things that remind me of my youth but these pictures pick out just a few.
Please visit the other entries on Brenda's Photo Challenge Blog, you will find the list here.
Blue ribbons remind me of "Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes"
just like the song "My Favorite Things" In the picture
both my sister and I are wearing white dresses with blue satin sashes
and every time I see blue ribbons I remember this photograph.
I edited the original black and white picture, as you can see, with some pale blue on the ribbon sashes and in our hair.
Marbles!!!
They bring back fond memories of hours of happy playtime with my brother and our childhood friends.
Seashells remind me of hot Summer childhood days spent on the beach , we loved looking for seashells in the sand.
So many years have gone by but I still treasure these beautiful memories.
Love these Sue!! Those dresses were beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCool edits too....and the marbels! Use to play with those all the time...
Happy weekend!

These are great examples! I love the blue embellishments you did on the first photo. Ingenious! And such simple things we used to play with - shells and marbles. No batteries required!
ReplyDeleteDonna, thanks for your comment, yes we had very little but the toys and things we played with were safer for us and not harmful to the environment.

Very nice, being dressed up was always such a thrill. I still like to bring home the shells.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, I don't go to the beach anymore, I had these from my son's collection but if I should I would surely look for more seashells.

Beautiful pictures Sue and such lovely memories especially the one picture of you and me, I love how you touched up the ribbons on our dresses and hair.
ReplyDeleteWell done and thanks for the memories : ))

Hey Doreen, thanks!
DeleteIf you look in the old photogrpahs that mum had I am sure you will find the whole set of these pictures that were taken at the photgrapher's studio, I remember another one of you and me seated and one of the whole family too.
Thanks for looking.
Hugs,
Sue.
Love how you added a titch of color to the first picture! Love these photos and memories!

These are lovely selection of photos for the Childhood Memories challenge. Love the blue ribbon! I remember playing marbles with my brothers and now my son has a slew of marble collection too. Love the shells...hunting for them while enjoying the beach. Looking forward to it this summer.
