I will leave you with an image of my brother and I at Halloween in the 1980’s. What is hilarious about these costumes, is that I just had a conversation with my mom on Thanksgiving about how she felt that she did a really great job on our costumes each year. That was until I found this image and I asked my mom if this was the year she gave up 😉 lol!

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…
