I got this pattern on ebay about four years ago. Wouldn't it be nice to see all of the Aunt Martha patterns listed in order of publication?
Dear Aunt Nelle,
I will always remember those wonderful days we spent together, in the garden, picking cherries, sharing a cup of hot tea, your wonderful orange peel candy and watching westerns on TV. I looked forward to each visit with you. You were my favorite aunt and one of the most important people in my life. Although I was only 6 years old when you left us, I will never forget our time together. Happy Birthday Aunt Nelle. I miss you and love you very much. April 14, 1889- April 13, 1960
This is a publicity photo of my mother's aunt Laura dated October 17, 1929. She was a successful radio singer on NBC. The typed public relations blurb on the back says aunt Laura:
"admits that she finds inspiration in her cat. She adopted Kitty when he was just a little thing, being bounced around back stage [at] one of New York's theaters. Now Kitty is seldom out of hand, except when she's on air."
Who knows whether this was true or whether the cat was a prop. To my eye the cat looks male (so he's the same sex as the cat in the description) and, more to the point, he's going along with what must have been a lengthy and annoying process.
Since you know right away a when a cat isn't enjoying being photographed and Kitty here's being a good sport (you'll see she isn't gripping him), I'd say he really was Laura's cat.
Many of the large newspapers have sold their photo archives in bulk, and the photos are now being sold off individually. That's how I found this one. The time for searching for old press photos is now!

My aunts, uncles and my parents (in there somewhere) after my Aunt Monette's and Uncle Raul's wedding in Vancouver.
This seems like a typo to me (receipt / recipe) but I can't be sure. Were the words used interchangeably at the time? I don't know. This just in: Mom confirms. This was proper usage at the time.

Your Aunt Fanny
(girls' sketch group)
Introducing: Brogan Gilbert
Brogan Gilbert here. I’m a 15 year old curly-haired nerd with a love for Doctor Who. Keep me away from moths and onions because trust me, I will run away. I was born in rainy Newcastle and I’m as pale as Casper the friendly ghost. I’m currently in Live Theatre’s girls’ comedy sketch group, Your Aunt Fanny, and rehearsing for a North-East film called Cullercoat’s Fishlass. I enjoy making little songs about nothing and I am forever wishing Robert Downey Jr will one day marry me, but that’s only the half of it. People at school describe me as the ‘Sunshine Child’ because apparently I always have my head in the clouds, living in the sparkling town of ‘Brogan Land’. Two of my biggest aims in life are to become a professional actor and to own my own unicorn (even if that's just a horse with a carrot taped to its head). I do think of myself as quite crazy but to me, all the best people secretly are.
Brogan is part of Live Theatre's newly formed girls sketch group, Your Aunt Fanny. Working with two of the region’s most exciting new writers, Laura Lindow and Lee Mattinson, Your Aunt Fanny will be celebrating everything that is funny, ridiculous and inappropriate in a collection of original sketches.
