C is for.........................Camera

It's that time of the week when we head over to Jenny's blog to participate in Alphabe-Thursday and this weeks letter "C".
I'm also linking this post to Suzanne's Colorado Lady Vintage Thingie Thursday because it's not just the camera that's vintage, I am too!

Last month my friend Mary @ Across the Pond blogged about her home town of Torquay situated on the English Riviera. She shared some beautiful photographs taken on one of her favourite walks.

After I had read her post I have to admit to feeling a little nostalgic for England, I have fond memories of holidays spent in Torquay when I was a very little girl.

Nana and me aged 3, in Torquay.

So, I took down, from the top of the wardrobe, my favourite pink hatbox where I keep all my old family photo's, cards and letters.

There they were, old black and white photographs taken by my parents with their Brownie "Box" camera.

I still have the shabby old Kodak No. 2 Brownie camera that belonged to my parents, it now sits on a shelf in my library.

The circular logo on the front reads:

No 2 BROWNIe

Made in Canada by

Canadian Kodak Co., Limited

TORONTO, ONT

and in the centre: Use Kodak Films No. 120.

I tried to photograph the logo but it was unclear.

This is a shot of the inside.

Me and my boyfriends, can you see that the little boy on my right is holding my hand. I think this was taken on my 4th Birthday.

I've shown this photo before, but I think I look sweet, so here it is again!

My Mum & me having a lovely day at the seaside. I love the handsmocked dresses and handknitted short sleeve cardigan that she made for me, so very 1950's.

Do pop over to Jenny & Suzanne's blogs and see who else is there, but not before leaving me a comment so that I know who came calling in Normandy today.
