Treasured vintage photos of my beautiful family. I am such a lover of vintage photos as it is, anything vintage and old for that matter...and so I am grateful to have these authentic old photos of my own. They are my dearest possessions. Many are framed and displayed on our buffet. I will always cherish these rare photos. My family immigrated to America from Italy at the turn of the century. So many stories given me through the decades that I cherish as well.
