Today is a special day it’s my 8 year Wedding Anniversary. It feels weird to be celebrating in a much more quieter way (usually we are traveling at this time) but once again it’s the “normal” for now and so we are having some takeout and a bottle of wine to celebrate. Cheers!
Now for my blog, it’s that time of the month again….It’s April Vintage Magazine Covers!
If you are a regular reader of my vintage blog, you know that I have started a “vintage magazine cover” series for each month. It’s been really fun, to see what was popular topics and images on these covers from the 1920s to the 1950s.
Shall we browse this months selection?
