Country images you don't see much anymore

I found one of these caps in my paternal grandmother's keepsakes. I'm glad these are not required anymore, but they do bring the past to mind.image.jpeg
This is an example of Irish lace. The one my grandmother showed me was made of cotten calico material.

Anglophile,

I found this about how to post pics.

How do I use albums?
As a member, you can create Albums of images that are linked to your public profile. Albums can be created by visiting the User Control Panel, and clicking on the 'Photos & Albums' link, and then clicking on 'Add Album'.
Each album can have a title ('Joe's Holiday to Nepal'), a description ('A bunch of photos from my recent adventure') and can be of three different types: Public, Private or Profile.

  • Public albums can be viewed by anyone
  • Private albums can only be viewed by site staff (moderators, administrators) and your Friends and Contacts (info)
  • Profile albums are viewable only by you. However, you can use the images to customize your public profile (info)
How do I upload photos?
Once you've created an album you can upload images to it. Simply view the album and click on 'Upload Photos'.
You'll have the option to give each photo a caption, and to set one image as the Album cover, which will be displayed on the public profile. To delete an album or edit the title, description or album type, click on 'Edit Album'. To delete an image, or to edit a caption or change the album cover, click on 'Edit Photos'.
All members who have access to your album images can comment on them, in a similar way to Visitor Messages (more info). You can delete any image comments from your albums, and report inappropriate messages to moderators.
When you have uploaded a photo, you can place it in your posts by using the BB code text that is displayed below the image when you view it at full size.

I guess I'll be able to figure it out if I give a whole afternoon to trying! Still trying to interpret the "how to embed a YouTube video" instructions! lol

I guess I'll be able to figure it out if I ever have a whole afternoon to spend trying! Then I'll have to figure out how to interpret the instructions for embedding a YouTube video, since I've asked and no one has told me. There don't seem to be any Mods here to ask!

Newton Hylton who played clawhammer style banjo. "A ground-hog's hide provided the drumtight head for this banjo." Virginia. (photo by Earl Palmer)

I have no idea who Newton was, but his face has a lot of character. Just thought it was a neat picture. :)

SeaBreeze, that is an interesting video and it fits here just fine. Wouldn't matter even if it didn't.

You do realize that 66 years ago is not all that long anymore, don't you? At least not for me. Ha!
 
More country stores (Two different ones)

The one on the right above looks like the one at my grandmother's house only with ceiling fan instead of fluorescent light. Candy was always behind a glass display case. It was dual purpose---store and town post office.

Just spent over an hour on this thread! Watched several videos, especially liked the old movie of the maple sugar collection and production. Loved the old shed and all the pictures of all that contributed here. Something also came to mind--if any of you recall the advertising along the roadsides, those little signs in succession like for Brylcreem. Probably before billboards, still using the barns for advertising but these little signs with one word, you'de have to read them all. I guess there were distractions before cellphones!

Carla, do you mean Burma-Shave signs? That's a good one. I think those have become collectors items now.:)
