I need your help to tell her story.

Give me 3 “facts” about her; anything at all in the comments section. Her name? Where she’s from? How many kids? A personality trait? What kind of home? Was she from money? Did she immigrate? You get the idea.

The person whose “facts” I pick to write her story will win a picture frame made out of a vintage home or building. You have until next Sunday, April 18, at 12 midnight.

Here’s what I know about her: nothing. This picture was purchased for $4 at a dealer’s booth in an antique store in Georgia. Incidentally, it is way more than I would usually pay for a print, but she spoke to me. It was in a box with many other large portraits the same size. There is nothing written on it so there are no clues to the year, her name, where she was from or her age, which is the real secret I want to know. I know she has beautiful eyes, a sweet lace collar and she might look like every great, great grandmother.

So, maybe the dead people are talking to you, too. Even if they aren’t, give me some info about her and we’ll see where the story takes us.

Win this! A frame (holds 4×6 pic) created out of a vintage home or building.
