1920s fashion Archives

I love a good vintage magazine cover, so I thought I would start a new series on magazine covers from various dates ranging from the 1920s-1950s of the month we are currently in. Focus will be mostly on Women’s Magazines.

Let’s see what people were reading in November…..

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.
