7 Comments on Fathers Day thru the Eyes of Vintage Images

  1. Aww that photo with your Dad is lovely, as are all the vintage images. Some of my favourite family photos are the ones of my mum and her father.

  2. Aw, what a lovely set of photos and I love the one of you with your dad. I probably won’t get to see mine this weekend as my brother has decided (without telling anyone else!) that he’s taking my dad out. Don’t get me started on that one! 🙂 xx

  3. this is a great post! My dad passed 4 years ago he was a big influence on me and his love of old movies introduced me to vintage. I didn’t really wear vintage full time until after he passed its one way I honor his memory

    • Sorry for you loss 🙁 But I love hearing that you are honouring your dad thru your vintage clothes, that you wear everyday. What an amazing way to always have his memory close to you.
