Vintage Mother’s Day – Part 2

Vintage Photos of Mothers & their Kids from the 1920’s to the 1950’s

1950s Photo: I love when I see images in colour, especially when you have images like the one below where the little girl is all in red. She really stands out in a sea of blah colours. Don’t you agree?

1940s Photo: Cute family alert! Don’t you just want to hug that little girl? I don’t know how her mom is keeping a straight face for the picture (Maybe it was take 500 and she just wanted it done).

1950s Photo: Reading time is very important for young children. I wonder what the book was?

1940s Photo: This image caught my eye because of the poor child that looks like it was forced into getting her photo taken with her mother. Mom looks so pretty, her child while also pretty does look like she is about to fall off the banister (gosh I hope she did not).

1940s Photo: Last but not least, I left the best image of all till last (at least I think so). 1940s Glamour and style from mother and daughter. Look at the little girls hat and the beautiful dress on her mother…Fantastic! I love everything about this photo.

I love bowling, I’m terrible at it, but I love it and now I know what I want my next “vintage bowling look” to be. Don’t you just love her look, especially with her adorable snood? But I do wonder how she is going to bowl only in her stockings?

Up next an Image from my blog post “Ontario Vintage Dance Hall – Kenwick on the Lake“.

Before it was razed Kenwick-on-the-Lake in Bright’s Grove was the place to be in Sarnia for entertainment and dancing. At a “Rock ‘n Roll Nite” held on July 24, 1956, as many as 1,700 teens danced the night away to the sounds of the Jack Kennedy Orchestra (source).

This 1950s image instantly caught my attention because I thought the Black woman in the photo was strikingly beautiful and also possessed great style.

This Sunday I’m back at the “Ascot like event” being held here in Toronto called “Hats and Horseshoes” for the big Queens Plate Race at Woodbine Racetrack. And once again I’m back to Pinterest looking for amazing Racetrack Fashions for inspiration like these very well dressed ladies from the 1930s.

One of the things I love about summer is all the festivals that are put on that never happen in the winter time. Like the Grilled Cheese Festival and the Poutine Festival (mmm Poutine). As a half German I also support festivals like this Sauerkraut Festival that was held in 1947, complete with the Queen of Sauerkraut.

All Hail the Queen!

I will now end my post today with this fantastic photos of young ladies from the 1950’s having a fun time together.

I love photos that maybe are not perfect but clearly capture a wonderful moment in time.
