NEW DISCOVERY

Today I found a little piece of heaven in one of my secret boxes!! You hear of how they used to make pictures of people and they would be developed on a piece of metal. Well I have found one, of my 3rd great grandfather Harvey Valentine Blackett. Judging from the time of his birth to how long they made these pictures I would say I was very lucky. It was probably taken somewhere along the time he was three or four. So around the year 1878-1879. Just as a more popular picture technique was being produced. I will definitely post pictures of it as soon as my camera comes back from Vegas with my daughter. I will definitely treasure this find. I also went shopping for antique picture frames today (or rather some frames that I can make look old)!! Not much luck:( Anyone with any ideas give me a shout out. I am getting ready to redecorate a room for just genealogy purposes!!
