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…

The following photo was taken in May of 1956 at a New York photographic trade show by photographer Frank Larson. Our lovely model has the world in her hands.
1950s Photo of a woman in front of 1950s car and holding hangers of 1950s dresses and other clothes.
Can I help take those dresses off your hands? Oh and the car too?
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!
1940s Photo. Lets dance on the street! Or pretend we are flamingos. Love the saddle shoes!

If your in need of perfect examples of women in the 1940s rocking pants, then look no further then this1940s image.
1950s photo of two women in 1950s swimsuits. These 2 gorgeous women remind me of Barbie, especially the friend leaning up against the car.
1940s photo. Well this looks like an exciting party. What do you think is going on here? Pants and saddle shoes party?
1940s Photo. Janet always had the best handwriting and therefore made her the best secretary for their monthly meeting (or so I think that is what is happening here).
And there friends are some of many favourite images this month, did you have a fav from above?

Oh, my goodness, these are so cute and delicious.
Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Cool pics, Catherine. Thanks for sharing those! I’ve always been in love with saddle shoes but they weren’t in style during my growing up years. Perhaps I should invest in a pair now?
I own a pair of saddle shoes and I LOVE them. I bought brand new ones on Ebay but just google Saddle shoes new and you will find shoe stores selling them again. Happy shopping!
What a fabulous collection of photos! I just love the two young girls at the beginning, they’re so adorable in their oh-so-trendy fashions. xx
The two girls are too cute for words, I so agree!
I love the barbie women
Good choice! I agree.
Your commentary is fabulous. The two girls at the start are my favourites, and it looks like kittens playing with balls of wool to me.
Kittens playing with balls, excellent eyes I think you might be right!
Great photos! That woman carrying piles of dresses out of that fabulous car is the stuff my dreams are made of!
I love that image too and was wishing I could go back and take those dresses off her hands 🙂
I always like to see old photos and these are some super ones. I think the skirt in the first photo has kittens playing with wool balls on it. I would love to find a skirt like that, perfect for a cat loving knitter!
What a great observation on the skirt, good eyes!
