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.

May 14th, 1945. Date night during WW2 (this is by far my FAVORITE photo in this batch). Would you believe that one of the gentleman is also called “hoot”. Must have been a popular nickname, since the gentleman above is also called that.

  1. That last photo made me beam ear-to-ear. Valentine’s Day needs a lighthearted side, IMO, and that delivered it big time! πŸ™‚

    Thank you for the wonderful roundup of images, sweet Liz. I hope that you and your honey have a Valentine’s Day that is sweeter than all the Conversation Hearts in the world!
