When it all comes together.....

We drove out to Irvington, NY last night to meet with our newest client, Amanda, who is having her Bat Mitzvah in May. Amanda and her mom wanted to do something a little different for her Bat Mitzvah photo montage. Together, we came up with a great idea. Why not incorporate clips from some of her favorite movies to introduce each section of the montage? We are totally psyched and can't wait to get started-not to mention review some of our favorite movies like Uncle Buck, Zoolander and School of Rock. Check back soon to see the final product!

Brooklyn Flea Market Treasures

Recently, I went to the Brooklyn Flea Market in Ft. Greene. At the moment it is being housed in a gorgeous old bank building @ 1 Hanson Place.The biggest treat was the ability to wander all around the old bank admiring all the original fixtures including teller windows, private offices and the original vault in the basement.

As I wandered through the mounds of found treasures for sale, I was sadly surprised to find piles of people's gorgeous, old family photographs for sale by the bunch. So many memories attached to each one of those photos, yet no owner to claim them and recount their stories.

Is this the fate of our family histories? It's your responsibility to keep your family photos from winding up at a flea market. Preserve them and pass them down with the stories that make up your family history.
