Vintage Photos

-


The minute I came across this wonderful vintage photo in an Antique Mall in Littleton, Colorado...



I knew it was coming home with me!
 Team photos sure have changed!



The question is...
What decade is it from?


Any guesses?


Gotta love treasures that fit inside your suitcase!

those are some short shorts! Hmm - early 1930s maybe based on the haircuts?

those look like pf flyers they are wearing. i think pf flyers came out in the mid thirties, so i am going with the late thirties or early forties for this group photo of atheletic studs, hehe.....

Such a fun image. It would be fun to research the team and find out their names to add to the frame. My guess is that it is from the mid to late 30's.

I am not an expert, but I would start with the 1950s to see if there were comparable uniforms and haircuts in high school yearbooks (now on-line). Those satin shorts and Brylcreme do's were popular when I was a Pre-schooler.

Watch out Esther Williams! It looks more like these guys are a team of synchronized swimmers given the pose and the shorts. I'd say 1930's

Great photo!

My guess is between 1950 and 1955.
It would be interesting to know what city that high school was in.

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
