Love Is In The Air-1940s and 1950s Real Life Couples, Part 2

categories: vintage images, Vintage Photo Tuesday

Last year around this time I did a Valentines day post with several vintage images of couples “In love” during the 1940s and 1950s. For today’s post since we are close again to that special Love Day, I thought that I would do a part 2. Mainly because I have been seeing so many really great photos that I just HAD to share with you (you know me and my weakness for great vintage photos). Lets take a peak at what I have found.

May 14th, 1945. Date night during WW2 (this is by far my FAVORITE photo in this batch). Would you believe that one of the gentleman is also called “hoot”. Must have been a popular nickname, since the gentleman above is also called that.

Camping We Will Go! Vintage Camping Photos

categories: vintage images, Vintage Photo Tuesday

This coming weekend in Canada is our “Victoria Day Long Weekend” where we celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria. Happy Birthday Queen!

Victoria Day also means that many of us gather up friends, family, dogs and cats and bundle up into cars to head to our cottages or our camping grounds for a fun weekend of campfires, fireworks and smores. This year a few of my friends are getting together to do just that (and maybe we just might add some alcoholic beverages in there, just like my friends in the pic below).

For today’s post I thought it would be fun to share with you some fun “Vintage Camping” photos from the 1930s thru to the 1950s of fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy!

What you like to use for camping depends on family to family. Some of us like tents, others campers or for really living it up..the cottage! -1950s vintage image.

Airstreams are the best!

These couples like their tents and why not? Easy to pack and light to carry and easy to take down (just not easy to put up). -1930s photo.

Cottages are my favorite. Warm, dry and a bed to sleep in.

Sometimes the trips you make to the cottage or camping ground are long and you need to take a break for food and drink. These lovely woman from 1931 are doing it right. Tea in dainty tea cups while wearing stylish pants and berets is the perfect Glamping uniform.

1949 vintage photo. No camping trip is without a night by the campfire. Whether it’s roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories or just watching the glow of the flames, you know that you will always have fun when you’re sitting around with friends around that fire.

And lastly, the award for the most handsome couple around, goes to this 1950s couple! Such style! Look at his socks and I just adore everything the wife is wearing. I will not be looking this cute this weekend but I might have to channel this look for another trip.
