I’m back from Toronto, AND

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life|Photography

… I have, in my possession, something so extremely special and beautiful I can hardly believe it. Two wedding pictures! This is my grandmother and grandfather (on my mother’s side.)

Ferdinand and Olga on their wedding day

Olga on her wedding day

I’m going to have to find some really nice frames for these.

Happy Monday everyone…!

I love them. I think you look like your Grandmother? It’s the eyes.

Beautiful. I’m trying to get ahold of wedding pics for the parents and grandparents on both sides of our family so I can do some sort of display of all the couples. I have three so far, but have to try and get ahold of the rest.

What a very special treasure. :)

That is so awesome. I keep meaning to make copies of my parents photos, but keep forgetting. Thanks for the reminder.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
