along the path to Grandmother's house

Could she be any sweeter?

I could see her in an art project all about the early years of Little Red...

The untold story of how she made many trips to her Grandmother's door, safely stopping to pick posies on the path to her beloved Granny, before that day she met the nasty wolf.
Her name is Gertrude Amelia and she is 3 years old.

frog in my pocket

I love this old cabinet card. Don't you love to study these?

I'm sure he was coached and dare we imagine-threatened- to stand still for the man behind the camera...only at the wrong moment to check on that frog in his pocket...or so I took the liberty to imagine!!
Great clothing study of an era long ago= bow at the neck, double breasted jacket, buckle side short pants, black stockings and well worn high button shoes.
This is Elmer Dean and he is 5 years old so it says on the back.
