My Favorite Vintage 1930s to 1950s Images

I don’t think I can stress enough, how much I LOVE Vintage Images from the 1930s-1950s. Sometimes it’s just crowds of people or just a lone individual that catches my eye, but you can be sure that whatever I’m saving and sharing (with you!) they are a wonderful moment in time.

Now friends lets see what goodies I have found this month.

Vintage Photos 1930s – 1950s

1950s Photo. Cute and stylish kids alert! I love the contrast between the two friends. I wonder what the design is on the felt “Poodle” skirt? I see balloons I think…

Toronto recently hosted the Great Gatsby Garden Party, these ladies from 1920s Toronto would have been wonderful inspiration for that day. Those are some stunning 1920s dresses right out of Downton Abbey!

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

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.
