I was completely and totally obsessed with vintage photos when I was pregnant with Max. I would get giant bags and categorize them and try to date them. I put them all in acid free photo boxes and put them away.
I picked up a framed black and white photo of a soldier, probably from WWII. It makes me sad and happy and grateful all at once.

Be sure to check out the best site for found photos (in my opinion):
