Today’s Vintage Photo Tuesday is a special post in honour of an amazing woman that I recently lost, my grandmother (or as I called her, my Omi). She was a one of kind woman, who I was very close too and I’m going to miss her a lot. So for today’s post, it is going to be all about photos of Grandmothers with their families, from the 1920s-1960s.

Let’s browse the photos.
