In 2016 I did a ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ post on ‘Images of people in front of their houses‘ (1920’s-1960’s). I created it because I had started to notice so many photos of people posing in front of their homes, that I felt it just had to be a post. Well several years later, I have “saved” a bunch more that I would like to create a part 2 for you all to enjoy.

Let the fun begin!

I love my plants and the moment I saw this 1930’s photo of a young woman sitting on the front porch of her house (technically the front!) surrounded by all these beautiful plants I just had to share!

I think this photo is late 1930’s but it also could be early 1940’s (I’m really thinking 1930’s). ANYWAYS it’s a vintage image of an older couple posing with a young woman holding a dog. They are all dressed up in hats and lovely dresses (and one suit). I especially love our young woman’s dress & that awesome circle rattan purse. Super cool! I wonder where they are going?
