Here are some really cool images I have been recently pinning to my Pinterest board “1920s-1960s Vintage Photos” that I wanted to share with you today.
Off we go on a vintage image adventure!

I did mention Summer above so lets start with a great summer photo of a couple enjoying Banff, Canada in the 1950s.

1940s Vintage Photo: Need a vintage beach look for your summer pool parties? These ladies have it down pat. Look at those cool 1940s sunglasses and the fun 1940s hairstyles and their two piece outfits are so cute!
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.
Do you have any favorite vintage photos you stumbled upon recently? If you did please share, I would love to see them.
Have a wonderful rest of the week friends!

I’m not sure that “Queen of Sauerkraut” is the compliment they think it is…
Great images. You can’t go past Australia for racing style, and the State library of Queensland has some phenomenal photos. There are great style photos from the Melbourne cup in the old papers and magazines too 🙂 With the same, often critical, media commentary they get these days!
LOL! I love Sauerkraut so I might like it hahaha 🙂
that is really great that so many images are still preserved in the papers to see how it was way back when. Three Cheers for archives!
No kidding, eh! Even with Tony’s leaving for the States, June felt crazy fast – this whole year has been that way, it seems. My birthday is coming up this week on Friday and I’m sure it will be over in a flash, too. I don’t want to rush summer along, but at least I know that if it goes quickly, it will feel like less time apart from my hard working honey – oh, and then Halloween a few more weeks later, which, yes, I’ve already started thinking about. 😀
Great photos! Thanks for the fun roundup!

These are great images, I love old photos. I managed to find some more vintage wedding photos to add to my collection so they will be featuring on my blog soon.
YES! I can’t wait to see the wedding photos you found. Old photos has become my recent vintage obsession due to being low on cash and low on closet space for more dresses 🙂 Photos are inexpensive and take up very little room lol!
