Our Antique Spectacles

Chris found an antique glasses dealer on the internet, and we couldn’t pick just one pair. They were surprisingly cheap, considering the price of modern frames. We ordered three pairs, just in case, because we couldn’t try them before hand. I chose the gold frames, Chris chose the small silver pair. The square pair were left over, but they look fantastic on Johannes.

They prescription in these was so strong, I could hardly even look through them. Just think, it’s probably not as strong as my prescription used to be!

Chris liked these for me a lot, but I think I’ll choose the gold.

these are the ones Chris chose — the temples slide together to pack into a smaller case

The prescription was disconcertingly strong for these, too.

When we ordered them, I thought I’d like these best. But they are kind of Mrs. Claus on me :)

They seemed to narrow for his face at first, but I think it’ll work out.
