Farmer Bros. Photo Backs
This here is a what you call a fancy schmancy find. All of these are from the same photographer’s studio, (in what I guess to be the 1800s) The Farmer Brothers in Hamilton, Ontario. vintage photo card, folks.
They would put their photos on these cards (much thicker than today’s photos), which acted as the frame and double as a trade card (aka business card). I love how over the top some of these get. I’m a girl…I like frills :)
I wonder what caused the jump from the organic, flourishy design to the much simplified, geometric style?

Louise Fili – Vintage Goddess
One of my modern day heroes is Louise Fili. She’s brilliant, extremely talented, and her and her husband are so nice! My fiancé loves her husbands work, and I’m crazy about hers, so for our anniversary one year I sent them a book with a return envelope and asked them to sign it for us. I didn’t think it’d really happen. But not only did they sign it, but they gave us another book with their signatures in it as well. Who does that? So sweet :)
