Explanation: Well the Sock Monkey is mine from when I was a child.
The picture is a "Shadow Portrait" where the person uses...well shadow to draw a siloute of your face onto black paper then cuts it out (its of me). The fan is a victorian style fan that belongs to my mother as well as the little dangling necklace that the monkey has on it.
The cobwebs on the monkey have no story though.

Explanation: We bought this gramophone player from a friendly old widow who's husband was a known musician.

This beautiful piece of technology with it's memories is now in our living room having a second life.

Proof:
<img150*0:stuff/558Proofpudding.jpg>
Date: July 1st 2009; Location: My house, Coventry, England
Explanation: The time travelers dropped by today. They had traveled from the 1870s, and when I met them on this hot day, they looked positively exhausted, so I invited them to come by my house to get out from the sun, to have a drink and to rest for a minute. They were very nice company, and they weren't much phased by any of our modern inventions, even though we had something of an argument about Charles Dickens. They refused my request to go back with them, then we traded gifts, and I took this photo as a last memory of their brief, refreshing visit.



7. "Stained Pages" - [sweet.tx.tea]
<img300*0:http://elftown.eu/img/photo/73640_1247585991.jpg>
Proof:
TO COME! I do not have it at work...:/ Only select pictures on this computer.
Date: July 14, 2009; Location: [sweet.tx.tea]'s room; Explaination: I have a fascination with old books. This specific one traveled all the way from Germany with my great grandfather; it was the only book he had in English. The ink-quill pen was a gift from my mother, years ago when I was trying to figure the art of calligraphy. The more calligraphy looking pen was used by my grandmother when she was a child, as well as the ink. My grandmother is now 84. As for the glass next to it, that is a kerosene lamp. I am not certain as to its origin, but, it certainly seemed to fit.



8. "In Memoram" - [windowframe]

<img300*0:stuff/5555thepast.jpg>
Proof:
<img150*0:stuff/5555thepastproof.jpg>

9. "Got Milk?" - [Nioniel]

<img300*0:stuff/aj/169023/1251499166.jpg>
Proof:
<img150*0:stuff/aj/169023/1251499862.jpg>
Date:August 28th, 2009, Location: The back steps to my house. Explanation: A collection of very old milk jars I found which were covered in dust and spiderwebs.



10. "From The Past" - [Kelaria]

<img300*0:stuff/FromThePast.jpg>
Proof:
<img150*0:stuff/FromThePastProof.jpg>
Date: September 14th, 2009. Location: My bedroom.
Explanation: This stuffed bear and donkey both belonged to my mother when she was a baby! There is actually a photo that used to hang in my childhood bedroom that is of my mother holding this exact same bear when she was about 1-year-old! The bear and donkey are mine now and hold a lot of special meaning for me.

2009-04-25 [Linderel]: You should change this page to be freely editable. Also, the results of the sci-fi contest don't need to be here.

2009-04-25 [Linderel]: Oh, and the link to the main page is wrong. :P

2009-04-26 [Alexi Ice]: Wow...>> I must not have been paying any attention while making this page. I feel silly! Lol. Thanks, Lin

2009-05-03 [Cillamoon]: Awesome new contest! YAY!!! Reminder to self to join this one. ^_^

2009-05-03 [Alexi Ice]: Awesome, a potential competitor! Welcome, friend!

2009-05-05 [Captain Rachel Black]: *haunts*

2009-05-05 [Cillamoon]: *ponders theme*

2009-05-06 [Daisy le Fleur]: Ooo, now this I can do.

2009-05-07 [sweet.tx.tea]: <img200*0:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/73640_1241738520.jpg> Think this fits?

2009-05-07 [Alexi Ice]: Oh. Can you get a proof? I like it!

2009-05-07 [sweet.tx.tea]: Oh yes, I have a proof. I just don't want to submit it unless it counts. It's not too "pasty", y'know? But I effing LOVE to shoot macro. XD

2009-05-07 [Cillamoon]: It's amazing really, I'm very curious about it.

2009-05-07 [sweet.tx.tea]: XD Thank you! The skeleton key, I wear all the time. It was a gift from my best friend's grandmother. It used to open her house in Russia. Pretty awesome, right!? The pocket watch was my grandfather's in World War II. The thing in the background is a candle holder. It sat in my great grandmother's house before she moved over from Germany. A family member sent it to us about a year ago. :] It looks like a star with many points. Very pretty when lit! For the background, I used a fuzzy blanket I have that appears to look like fur. XD

2009-05-07 [Cillamoon]: I must say that I am speechless, I love it! And the story behind all the pieces really is awesome! I think more than awesome actually! :D Thank you for sharing it!

2009-05-08 [sweet.tx.tea]: Awwww. You are so sweet. :] I try to do sentimental things for contests. Unfortunately, sometimes the sentiment is wasted. :/ I am glad to find people who appreciate it. XD

2009-05-08 [Cillamoon]: Yeah, well, I value sentimentality in objects, the memories they hold. And how when you think about them it's almost as if you can recall the memories as if it was only yesterday.

2009-05-08 [sweet.tx.tea]: Our similiarity makes me smile. :D And, I know that feeling entirely.

2009-05-08 [Alexi Ice]: I love it as well, you HAVE to enter it! My brother would Kill for that watch! He is obsessed with the war.

2009-05-08 [sweet.tx.tea]: Then I -shall- enter it. XD Oh dear. I could find him one, easily. We have seven or eight. My grandmother was severely OCD, so, she bought a ton from my grandfather's friends. If you like, I will find one for you and mail it.

2009-05-08 [Alexi Ice]: *PM ing you to clear up clutter.*

2009-05-08 [Chimes]: Wow, that entry is amazing! I love the key <3

2009-05-08 [sweet.tx.tea]: XD Thank you! I love how it has a heart on it. It always makes me smile. :]

2009-06-25 [Alexi Ice]: I have to say I love all the keys.

2009-06-25 [Captain Rachel Black]: *stamps herself with a big red 'FAIL' on her forehead* XD

2009-06-25 [moira hawthorne]: so do I! (love all the keys) Ive had mine since I was 12 (22 yrs) and as soon as I brought them out of my secret chest my son Eirikr wanted them... we compromised... he got one! and I told him if he doesn't loss it he can have the rest when I die.

2009-06-25 [Alexi Ice]: (If I may say so, I love your sons name!!) I have some too, they aren;t old but they are special to me because my mother gave them to me.

2009-06-25 [moira hawthorne]: thx u... having an unique name is a special treasure

keep passing them down... eventually they will be old

2009-06-25 [Alexi Ice]: I think so too. >< Too bad my name is perfectly normal. Ugh.

I plan too ^^ I love having family treasures such as those.

2009-06-25 [moira hawthorne]: sad... but thats why most people make up an unique name for the internet

2009-06-25 [Alexi Ice]: True. God bless the internet. Lol...>>

2009-06-25 [sweet.tx.tea]: *iz n ur computrz stealn ur interwebz*

2009-06-25 [Alexi Ice]: *Ish confused* M.J. Just died...how weird. *shrugs*
 So, I wonder how many more entrants we will get before September?

2009-06-26 [dawn bolly]: *smashes himself* seen the great picture in my mind butmy camara wasnt with me :(

2009-06-26 [Alexi Ice]: I hate it when that happens.

2009-07-01 [Lord Josmar]: Ack! Trying to post pictures and it aint working.

2009-07-01 [Alexi Ice]: It isn't? How are you posting them?

2009-07-01 [Lord Josmar]: I tried doing the upload photo while editing the wiki and it wasn't doing anything. It may just be the fact that its Internet Explorer.

2009-07-01 [Alexi Ice]: You tried doing the upload photo while editing the wiki? Did you remember the <img:> tag?

2009-07-01 [Lord Josmar]: No. I have never posted individual photos into a wiki.

2009-07-01 [Alexi Ice]: Oh! Well, once you get the properties tag of the photo (do you know how to do that?)

2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: Gah! My lord Josmar, I hope you are going to reveal what you are submitting to us all very shortly! I am eager to see your photo!

2009-07-02 [Lord Josmar]: Well i tried to post it just now but the pic is much larger then I thought. Not like whole page large, but it was still the largest pic here.

2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: So when the image code appears after uploading, I'm assume it's set for img500, just change it to like img300 or 200. That should work, then when we click on the image it will go to a larger version if that is what we desire to see.

2009-07-02 [Lord Josmar]: Wow...when compared to the other photos it really looks amatuer.

2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: WOW! Amazing new submissions! All of them really are great, but these last couple just popped up out of nowhere! Love the record player!

2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: No, it doesn't look amatuer Josmar, it's good actually. Well at least I think it looks well done. :) I can't speak for anyone else. It has it's own sense of meaning, just as do all the others, which one could percieve as being the point of this. At least that would be what I would imagine if it were my contest. Ack! I'm rambling!

2009-07-02 [Alexi Ice]: Thank you Cillamoon for helping Lord Josmar out. I think they all look amazing! I can't wait to see what else people submit as time moves forward!!!

2009-07-02 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. I tried to find something for the background and to put under them, but nothing was big enough.

2009-07-02 [Alexi Ice]: I think it looks just fine the way it is. They are all unique and meaningful! I love it!! <3

2009-07-02 [Lord Josmar]: Thanks, and thank you Akane and Cillamoon for helping me figure it out. Hopefully it will be the last time I have to ask for help.

2009-07-02 [Alexi Ice]: Don't worry about it! If you do need anymore help, feel free to message me. I certinally don't mind!

2009-07-02 [Cillamoon]: I don't mind either. ^_^

2009-07-08 [dawn bolly]: whoohoo i got the steam factory working again *cheers*

2009-07-08 [moira hawthorne]: coooool.... a youtube vid of it would be awesome

2009-07-08 [dawn bolly]: eeuhm yeah sure i can work on that

2009-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: Oh! I love the new ones, lot's of color. Who added the 'how a man grows?'

2009-07-14 [Chimes]: [Lakayana] - I think. The picture doesn't exist on elftown, however.

2009-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: Hm. Alright, I will send them a PM.

2009-07-14 [Chimes]: There's a photo on their page that seems to fit the bill. :)

2009-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: Yep, I see that. I just told them to upload it to Elftown and re-submit. I won't take the image down until they have noticed, doesn't seem fair.

2009-07-15 [Alexi Ice]: Ah, thank you [Lakayana] It is very strange how time can move forward so quickly.

2009-07-15 [Chimes]: *cough* Proof photo *cough*

2009-07-15 [Alexi Ice]: Oh! Crap. It's an old picture. He probably won't have a proof photo *totally forgot* Thanks, Chimes!

2009-07-15 [iippo]: And also if he is the child in the picture, then he probably didn't take the picture either (or artistically direct it either or nuffin').

2009-07-15 [Alexi Ice]: Yep. I sent a message, we shall see what happens.

2009-07-15 [iippo]: He may have just misunderstood the theme. :) That's an awesome photo though, Moira.

2009-07-15 [Chimes]: That or he may have just misunderstood the contest, ie having to have planned the photo yourself and etc.

2009-07-17 [Alexi Ice]: That is a really good photo. I wrote a message, so far nothing. I give it... a week. Then I will take it down and re-number. It won't be hard to replace it with something staged though, the theme is very broad. I'm already working on the next one. Lol.

2009-07-23 [Akayume]: When does this contest end?

2009-07-23 [Chimes]: September 22nd. First day of autumn. :) It's on the front page of the contest, Akay. :P

2009-07-23 [Akayume]: ...Damn. XP Sorry! I totally missed it. ^-^''

That means I have time to enter! :D We'll see if I can come up with something good...

2009-07-23 [Chimes]: You do and you will, this is you remember. :P

2009-07-23 [Alexi Ice]: Defintaltly! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

2009-07-24 [Akayume]: e.O

2009-07-24 [Akayume]: I actually have an idea, but it involves getting money to buy fabric for the retro pattern I just bought..

2009-07-25 [Alexi Ice]: Ohhh. I love Silverfire's entry. Also the theme has changed a bit to fit the entries more. In case you wanted to know O.o

2009-07-25 [sweet.tx.tea]: I will have my second proof up, tonight. :]

2009-07-25 [Alexi Ice]: Awesome, and no reason to hurry ^^

2009-07-26 [Akayume]: It has?

2009-07-26 [Alexi Ice]: Yessum. I was really going for dinosaurs, cavemen, cowboys, victorian era, the plauge even but...I got memories and connections and stuff which is perfectly fine with me because all the entries are beautiful, so carry on with what you were creating ^^

2009-07-26 [Akayume]: Oke, I see. (: I was actually going to sew a vintage outfit and then take a picture.. XP

2009-07-26 [Alexi Ice]: It still fits, so no worries ^^

2009-07-26 [Akayume]: Oke! I'll have to wait and see if I can buy fabric. >__< It is very expensive. e.O Well, not all of it, but.. XD Yeah.

2009-08-29 [Alexi Ice]: Ohhh! Very nice.

2009-10-05 [dawn bolly]: uhm when whas the deadline again xD

2009-10-05 [Alexi Ice]: 22cd of September, sorry I wasn't present to shut it down. It's closed now! <3 THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!

2009-10-11 [nehirwen]: I've removed the password for viewing..

2009-10-11 [Alexi Ice]: There was a password for veiwing?

2009-10-11 [nehirwen]: Yes, you made it password protected for both editing and viewing, so I removed that. ;)

2009-10-11 [Alexi Ice]: Oh...whoops. I must have done it when I was making the crew poll pages. Sorry. Thanks for fixing it.

2009-10-11 [nehirwen]: No prob. :)

2009-10-12 [sweet.tx.tea]: Would you like me to post my second picture's proof or just take it out of the contest?

2009-10-12 [Alexi Ice]: Don't worry, Sheep. The poll has not been submitted yet, so adding a proof photo now would be just fine.

2009-10-12 [sweet.tx.tea]: :] Thanksies, dear. I will add it as soon as I get home. My Wifi at school sucks.

2009-10-12 [Alexi Ice]: Alright, no problem. The poll won't be up until the mage photo one is taken down.

2009-10-12 [sweet.tx.tea]: Aye! :]

2009-11-02 [Teufelsweib]: normally the usernames of the participants aren't showed on purpose to make sure no one votes for friends and such. isn't it a bit weird to put the poll on the same page as the entries, then? :S

2009-11-02 [moira hawthorne]: originally this was how it was always done... makes it easier to see the entries...

and really the ones who vote for their friends are still gonna vote for their friends no matter

ET is no different than an everlastin highschool

2009-11-02 [sweet.tx.tea]: Not necessarily. Sometimes, people do vote for which one they think is best. I suppose what could be done is a separate page made with the explanations of the photos with the images and a poll on that page. Should we do that or leave it alone? 

2009-11-02 [Teufelsweib]: I don't know whether people still vote for their friends or not, and I don't really care either. it's just that it was a fuss before so they changed it that they don't put the names up anymore along with the entry in the poll, but they either decided not to do it anymore or forgot about it on this page.

2009-11-02 [Alexi Ice]: The problem is that our main street poll page is backed up. So this and the Griffan poll are being featured on their pages. ^^ No means to offend or anything. 

2009-11-02 [sweet.tx.tea]: Ahhhhhhhhhhh! >.< Back up's a pain.

2009-11-02 [Alexi Ice]: I know. Ugh.

2009-11-04 [Teufelsweib]: I know it's backed up, more that I would have put the poll on a different page, that's all :P but nevermind that :3

2009-11-04 [Alexi Ice]: No, no, it's a good idea. Lol. And definatly something to think about. Right now though we can only hope that people are being fair with their votes.

2009-11-04 [nehirwen]: I originally put it on a different wiki, but [Hedda] thought it was better to put it here..

2009-11-04 [Alexi Ice]: ...>> Hehehe. Oh well. It isn't a huge deal I hope.

2009-11-08 [kamisch]: Argh! Silly [sweet.tx.tea]...I would've voted for yours! I really liked it.
