i collect photographs of strangers pt.2

wendy & i went looking through antique stores while she was visiting. we both love to collect old photographs of strangers. these are the ones that i bought. this was on the back of the photograph. does anyone know what language it is or what it says?

see part one here.

replies:

jessica: thank you. oh that sounds so pretty! you should do it & then blog about it!

jordan williams: yeah i was! haha. you should totally check out the restaurant. it's really really good. but i forgot what it was called...

dandelionkisses: aren't they amazing? yes! i can't wait either! aaahhh!!

my: oh yes i think i know which one you are talking about. it's from the movie amelie. i love all of the music from that movie. thanks for the book recommendations! i'm going to check them out : )

linda: never been thrifting? oh you are in for a treat!! tips: just be patient while looking through everything, it can be daunting at first! also, sometimes it's nice to have something in mind that you want to look for like a new tablecloth or a good book. some people like to make a color theme with the first thing they find. & then add to it with things of the same color. whatever you chose to do, it's always nice to go with friends!

inside the cabinet of wonder: you are very welcome! : ) i love all of the painted pictures of the birds. very nice.

brit: yes! there were actually two at the thrift store, but this one was better : )

  5. These are lovely photos... some vintage photos really freak me out though when they just star really hard and frown. lol. I wondered if people in the early 20th century actually ever smiled?!

  7. I got to this blog accidentally, through Ungtblod. I love the photos and wanted to let you know that the language is Estonian.

    It says the following:

    "As some of the letters have gone missing in the summer, I don´t know if you have seen photos like these so I´m sending them again. It is taken in Vanasauna last year on Midsummer Day.
    In Säde, 10.April, 1959

    Please let me know if you have received the photo of me and Mihkel Korju together."

  8. What sweet additions to your collection! I was going to guess Swedish before I saw the above comment, hehe. Looking at these, it's interesting to imagine what their lives would've been like, hey?
