This is The Gables, an historic house in New Plymouth. It used to be a hospital but has now been given over to an Art Foundation is is used principally as a place to house doilies and crocheted toilet roll covers.
Another historic occasion of note that happened here is that is was the location of some of Mrs. S' and my wedding photographs, many years ago. According to both our parents this was the first time that I had managed to get far enough up her leg to see a garter.

the film and old camera are combining to give an old look to your photos. Having recently been going through boxes of old photos - these last few photos certainly have that feel of a very different era. I guess I am really just seeing the evidence of the older technology. I guess we are just very used to digital camera images... Being in the business of "reading" images... I immediately have thought 19 30's/ 40's with these last few you have posted. that being said...depending on what you want to say...its a great addition to your palette.

@radiogirl Thank you...it's quite new though, just a very old camera ;) @teiko It's very "heritage" on the inside once you get past all the grandma's doing their knitting ;)
@shylaine3304 Thank you kindly - my personal favourite is due for mass release tomorrow...then I'll have to pick up the camera again... @golftragic Thank you kindly - it wouldn't surprise if they could whip up a few coat hangers at short notice. @linnypinny Thank you very much :)
@jesperani Thank you very much :) @taffy Thank you very much - and I honestly can't remember! @susale It's haunted by elderly ladies who practice the arcane art of harnessing the unworldly power of the fighting needle @sweetsue53 That one way of putting it... @scotthouston Indubitably
I'm delighted that you've finally pressed Mrs S's present into service and I think that this is the one I loke the best but, search as I may, I can find no trace of stocking top ;-((
It is rather spooky.
So, the other times she wasn't wearing a garter? :)
