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.

Brrrr It’s Cold Outside-1940s & 1950s Vintage Winter Images

categories: 1940s, 1950's, vintage images

It’s cold right now and that is because it’s Winter and it’s January and I live in Canada….The Winter Wonderland of the North (I love Canada, don’t get me wrong but temperatures like Hawaii all year around would have been nice).

Well at least until I win the lottery there is not much I can do expect to embrace it. So for today’s post I wanted to share some images I have been saving up that are all about Winter. So grab a warm blanket, some hot chocolate (or maybe a hot toddy) and settle in.

Growing up I was a downhill skier, that is what my family did for holidays and I loved it. Not sure when I started to dislike the cold. Anyways…I would totally get back into skiing if I could look like this lovely lady in 1940s ski fashion.

Winter is incomplete without a few certain sports, like skiing and of course skating.
