Vintage Photos of People in Front of their Homes

categories: vintage images, Vintage Photo Tuesday

Have you ever noticed when browsing vintage photos, that there are many taken in the front of people houses, front steps or front doors? If not, then you will now (one of those glass shattering moments). I personally just noticed this while browsing Flickr the other day and I thought “why have I not seen this before?” And “why the house all the time?”. Intrigue set in and off I went to see what images I could find with this setting.

I’m going to cheat a little bit with this last image as it’s not technically in front of the house, but I was in love with her 1940s skirt and just had to share. So marvelous! True vintage inspiration, right there. -1940s Photo-

Last thoughts: I think the pictures in front of houses are popular due to the house being the central area where family and life is and therefore making the home part of the family. What do you think?

categories: 1940s, 1950's, vintage images

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.
