If you've been following my blog for a while you know that I love old things with a passion! Remind me to show you a Persian rug that I bought recently, 70 years old with hardly any pile but with the original design just visible, j'adore, even though I get mocked horribly :) The old Baker and Rouse cameras look amazing locked behind glass here. The lens, French I think, are in remarkable condition and although I think they are too gorgeous, this old beauty is never, no way going to fit into my handbag :)
Oh alright, I'll show you my old rug but no rude comments oui, I get enough of them from family and friends :) There must be some who can see and appreciate the beauty of having something that has a bit of history, I mean, who's feet have walked here before mine :) Bon weekend, take care and stay safe...

The old camera would do nicely just as a show piece! Strange how far we've come with the technology.
ReplyDeleteNow that is something to treasure, both the camera (quite nice) and the amazing old rug! Classy, and made to last, if and when cared for. Priceless to you.
ReplyDeleteLove that old camera! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, take care...

A bit before my time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful old camera! It would be fun to try it out. Love your old rug, the history of it something to think about. I think that when I'm looking at very old things in museums. How many hands did that object travel through before it ended up inside the museum's glass case.
ReplyDeleteThe old lens and camera are cool but so is your rug, Grace! I like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the old camera not so the rug
ReplyDeleteThe camera is wonderful! Fantastic fotos must have been taken on that.
ReplyDeleteThe carpet is historical! Just imagine the number of feet that have crossed that rug.
The older I get the more I like old stuff. That's probably because I'm familiar with it and grew up with it. Although the Persian rug ... well, I really ought to make a funny comment about it but I guess I won't...I'll just say it would be good for our cats...they need a "purrsion" rug." 😇
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the old cameras, they were made to last and heavy but they helped get us to where we are today. Your rug is priceless to you and that is all that matters. My first thought was the rug needs a poem. I don't know why but it just does. Have a great weekend Grace. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the old rug...and the old camera!
ReplyDeleteOh, nice old camera it is.
ReplyDeleteAt least the rug sits nicely flat and it doesn't slap you in the face.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful camera and lenses Grace. Remind me of my project camera that I've had for way too many years and in the same condition as when I bought it.
ReplyDeleteYou are just my sort!
ReplyDeleteOh, Grace, I just imagine a handbag where that cam fits in :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought about who´d walked over that rug before you.
We have but one, it´s a hopscotch-rug and for sure I know whose feet and paws went over there.
I guess!
I can see what you mean with the comments.... I have a hubby who buys old cameras all the time, my house is filled with it to the attic....
ReplyDeleteLove the old rug too, it has some history! The old cameras were a work of art.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend Grace.
Great old romantic stuff. I like it.
ReplyDeleteGrace, you know just how to make a photographer's heart race. Great shots.
ReplyDeletecool cameras... and rug too !! :) ew
ReplyDeleteThe carpet is a dream! Well done. Old cameras are amazing - imagine the weight and all the complicated bits and pieces.
ReplyDeleteAlways good and interesting to see and read about 'older' things
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Cool reflections! The old camera/lenses and rug are amazing!
