Hello Friends! I’m back from London and Paris, and because I have been gone for a week and some we are going to jump right into today’s ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ without further delay.

This student group from the University of Chicago is unidentified on their website, but I’m going to assume that is probably the Book Club.

That is it for this post friends, I hope you enjoyed this week’s Vintage Photo Tuesday. Share what your favourite photo was in the comments section below.
Several posts ago, I started a series entitled ‘A Peak Into My Vintage Collection‘ where I showcased some of the items I currently collect. This week, I wanted to show off my photo album of ‘Adopted Vintage Photos’. Photos that I have found in various places (mostly from my beloved Gadabout Vintage) and have loved so much that I could not leave them behind to be lost forever, so I ‘adopted’ them.
Several of these photos you might have seen if you have been following my blog for sometime and many of them will be new to my new followers (Hi new readers!). Whatever the circumstance that finds you here, I hope you enjoy this post.
Vintage Photos 1930s – 1950sfrom The Vintage Inn’s Personal Collection
The first 2 images are my newest purchases to the “Family”.
1940s photo. I adore all the small details in photos, like in this image the champagne coupes on the table (New Years Eve Party maybe?) and how the lovely woman in the photo is the only one who notices the picture being taken. Fantastic 1940s hairstyles and fashions.
1940s photo of a group of young college women in their best evening gowns and vintage hairstyles posing together. I think this is a college sorority.
Photos like the one below, are really wonderful tools to answers questions that pop up in the vintage clothing world. One in particular I see/hear frequently is, “Did women in the 1940’s actually wear flowers in their hair”? And the answer is “Yes”, as seen in the evidence below AND above.
If you ever get a chance to visit Gadabout Vintage in Toronto, you will notice that the pictures are in drawers, upon drawers so finding a ‘full collection’ is not always an easy task. So it’s also a fantastic surprise when my individual photo purchases, come together as a collection when I arrive home. The below groups of 1940s images are examples of this.
Collection of 1940s photos of a very stylish family. The women’s 1940s fashions are pure inspiration as well as their hair. Our main “mom” seen in all the images is pure fashion goals.
New car purchase! A young married couple pose separately in front of their 1940s cars. Great 1940s style!
1930s – 1950s photos of family, graduations and friends.
Life on vacation from the beach to camping and everything inbetween (1940s & 1950s photos).
1940s and 1950s vintage image collection of three older women in 1940s and 1950s fashions and then one image of two young women and a man at a game in the stands.
Collection of 1930s, 1940s and 1950s photos of stylish women in various fashions from those era’s. Great vintage fashion inspiration!
Another collection of stylish 1940s and 1950s women.
The first two images are from differents times, 1930s on the left and 1950s on the right but show two happy couples (our 1950s couple is getting married).
Our bottom photo is a fun 1940s photo showcasing a super collection of 1940s vintage hairstyle inspiration on our young ladies.
Hope you enjoyed my collection!
