This is it...the very last of Jessie's photos.

She's a long way from home "Botany Bay" in Sydney. I wonder if this little group were imagining themselves on convict ships just as I have imagined myself in Jessie's life.

Thank you for encouraging this imagining. I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Such a romantic image. I'm quite sure that had Beethoven ever seen this image he would have felt most inspired!

The big reveal! Miss Jessie herself.

I don't think Jessie liked having her photo taken. Interesting but not surprising.

More of the funny. I think Jessie & I would have got along like a house on fire.

Jessie had a good sense of humour. I admire that & I appreciate it.

Some other girls who've given me a giggle this week:

Claire (and joke submitters)
Mel
Steph

I know there were more & I love you all for it. There really is nothing better than a good laugh.

Jessie & the gang are staying at Kerami. This place still exists & I've read a bit on the history, it's interesting.

I wonder if it was Jessie's family who built the original house. I should really get in contact with the current owners as I'm sure that they would appreciate some scans of Jessie's album.

I'm not too sure about the "party" (maybe it was a slumber).

Jessie is having a lovely break at Narbethong...

& going for lovely rambles in the hills with good friends. I really love this photo - it's sort of secret gardenish.

The adventurous Jessie is not too far from home this week. They're on the way to Narbethong. They are going to be staying somewhere lovely.

I've just googled & I think I'd like to stay a couple of nights as Woodlands Rainforest Retreat sans kids.

I'm about halfway through Jessie's album. Are we in for the long haul Bricolagelife?

Jessie is out of town again.

This makes me laugh because my dad has a farm & I reckon if he saw me hand feeding a kangaroo he'd whip that air riffle out from under the little chap's arm & shoot us both.

My found photo album of Jessie Jamieson has delivered another fabulous-lose-yourself type page this week.

Jessie's on a road trip to Lorne this week. She was such a well travelled young lady!

Just look at all those handsomely attired young folk sipping tea in the bush. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

I run past these signs & they make me smile.

In best Heidi Klum accent.

"One day you're in ...

& the next you're out".

Speaking of high fashion. You should check this out. It's seriously fashionable & seriously good.

These found photos in my Jessie Jamieson album made me gasp.

I thought immediately of The Rabbit Proof Fence & it made my heart ache for the stolen generation.

Learn more about the Lake Tyers mission here.

I wonder what Jessie was doing there?

Further adventures of Jessie Jamieson in my Found photo album.

This is still the Lakes Entrance holiday.

I am really taken with the image of Ness (obviously one of the stylish sisters). The rippling water, the reflection, the beach attire, the pose, the hat & the paddling. Just beautiful.

Catch of the day.

Jessie is still on holiday at Lakes Entrance.

My lovely found friend. Do you think the guy with the shark was a relative or a flame?

Jessie Jamieson on yet another adventure. Her travels have taken her to Lakes Entrance in Eastern Victoria.

This image shows the Entrance to the sea.

How exciting Jessie's life was. I can't even imagine what a big deal it would have been to go on a holiday to Lakes Entrance in the 1920s. I've found it challenging enough to get down to Lonsdale for a couple of days!

I've mentioned before that things are very slow down at Lonsdale. If I owe you a visit - I'll stop in when I'm back in town. I'm not patient enough for dial up...perhaps a bit of Jessie's influence would do me some good.

Edit: Bricolagelife has pondered about Jessie's camera. Now I NEED to know what sort of camera it was. Anyone know how to find out?

I think that this Warburton trip must have had special significance. There seem to be a great many photos. I imagine Jessie would have had to carefully weigh the value of each shot before she took it.

Nothing like our digital age - click, click, click for the golden memories.

I wonder if these two were friends or relatives. Is one of these women Jessie or is she the photographer?

Thank you, Bricolagelife for encouraging me to study these images more closely & create a whole new reality for Jessie.

More shots from Jessie Jamieson's Warburton trip.

I've spent a bit of time in modern day Warburton because of the Trailwalker & these old images just make the place seem even more magical.

I'm going over to check if Bricolagelife has posted another gorgeous Found photo.

carrying on from this loveliness. I've decided that I'm going to post the Jessie Jamieson album a page at a time.

The first page

"La La Warburton"

The order of the bath

I'm playing along with Bricolage Life & posting one of my found photos.

I have an album owned by Jessie Jamieson & dated 1922. I bought it because one of my dearest friends is a Jamieson.

I love getting lost in these images & just imagining what life must have been like. Jessie was a Melbourne girl & a pretty serious adventurer for the time. She travelled as far as Belgrave, Warburton, Lorne, Lakes Entrance & Sydney.

The images are held in a leather photo album & this image is titled "The order of the bath". The girls must be sisters because they all appear in many of the photos in the album.

Oh & if you are thinking that this crafty blog aint too crafty you'd be right & it's getting to me a bit.

I have been doing a fair bit of crafting it's just the top secret kind. Hopefully I'll have something crafty to share tomorrow.
