Vintage Photos of a 1940s Woman Named “Betty”

categories: 1940s, vintage images

2 weeks ago I did a fun Vintage Photo Tuesday on collection of images of a 1940s family with the focus on a woman named Doris. Doris was featured in multiple images with another woman named Betty. The collection was huge and I just could not show all the photos of the two ladies, so that means today’s VPT post is all about the lovely Betty.

Let’s Begin!

Vintage Photo Tuesday: Collection of Images of a 1940s Family

categories: 1940s, vintage images, Vintage Photo Tuesday

While browsing Flickr, I stumbled upon the most delightful of online photos albums from ‘kirinqueen‘, entitled ‘Old Family Photos-Andersons, Paschalls, etc 1930s, 1940s‘. It’s a collection of images of men, women and children of various ages, in uniforms, classic 1940s fashions and hairstyles, home décor and of course love of family. I’m kind of obsessed with these snapshots and just HAD to share with all of my readers for ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ some of my favourite photos.

Now due to the large amount of photos on this account I’m breaking this post into a couple of parts. This week’s is going to focus on Doris-The Flickr account owners grandmother (seen below). Make sure you also check out my post on her friend “Betty” featured in some of these images HERE.

I LOVE that Doris is such a pants wearing woman. While I am more of a skirt kind of gal (mostly due to being 6′ tall and not wanting to fight to find pants), I am a big fan of this look.
