I normally try not to re-post links that others have already publicized on their blog, but when I saw the link to What We Wore over at the lovely Betsy’s blog, I couldn’t resist! I adore old photographs; beyond the clothes and interest in how people wore the trends of the day, I find it equally compelling to study expressions and poses, wondering what sort of people they were. I hope you’ll enjoy this link–it’s definitely worth spending a little bit of your afternoon browsing through!
[ this one of course gets points! sailor on a motorcycle?! yes please... ]

















These are wonderful! I love everything they’re wearing! I can see you dressed in the first three, and your hubby in the last…haha
Also, I awarded you the “One Lovely Blog Award”

Very awesome!! Hahaha, the biker sailor is quite hot!! Vintage photographs are always so inspiring.
oh, I can sit and stare at old photographs indefinitely! I LOVE them!! Thanks for the lovely link!!
I completely agree – I love looking not only at the clothes wear in old photos, but how they’re worn, the people’s expressions, and the context of the clothes. So interesting!
Old photos are so evocative. These are some gorgeous specimens, all right!

wow, the picture of the women with the round, white sunglasses is my favorite. what beautiful floral prints. great finds!
Hi Casey, it may be just me but I was browsing old photos on Flickr the other day and I came across a lady that I think looks very similar to you! I’ve just done a post and it’s included in a collage if you’d like to take a look.
Great photos like that can make “smell” the past !
Glorious finds! I always wonder, who are these people? Do they still have family? Do they know these pictures are floating around somewhere or in a bin at a flea market?
I love old photographs too. They are little snippets of someone’s life frozen in time.
Thanks for sharing these.
Have a happy Friday!
Love old photographs too! I could stare at them for hours. Can’t help but look at the facial expressions – wonder what was going on, what were they thinking? Great blog, glad to have found you!
