This is an unknown photo..unmarked. It is from the Dorset Antique Shop.

I think this is just swell of you how many do you want?  I don’t like the one of Vie as well as I do of you + she that she knew just how.  Let me know how many of each you want.
What is she holding..perhaps roses cut with long stems?  I wonder what the occasion was and I wonder what Vie knew just how to do?  This photo might be from around 1915.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:) 

Update:  I think we all agree long stemmed roses.. and Cheryl adds this :
"she thot she knew just how" - my interpretation is that this turned out much better than know it all Vie's photo!
I have to agree Cheryl..Thanks!

  4. I think Cheryl is correct: she is referring to the photo. Perhaps, the photo session was for engagement photo and she want to know how many copies to have made for friends/family.

  5. I read it much as Cheryl did, also that the "how many you want" question referred to the photo itself. I think the person writing it is either the photographer or the person buying the photos. At first I thought the woman was holding a bunch of Christmas greens (they are on my mind) but I do think they are in fact roses.
