I...@ Paperdoll, I can relate to you on every point. I'm not kidding when I say that I have a tab open around the clock for one vintage Flickr photo stream or another all the time! Plus, I too have straight-as-a-stick (and crazily fine) hair. <br /><br />I wish I was born decades ago as well, but since that's impossible, I'm just thankful I developed a love of - and fascination with - the past at an early age. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment, honey. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-61500022567838223922009-09-04T13:58:20.050-07:002009-09-04T13:58:20.050-07:00After seeing this post, I catapulted myself on Fli...After seeing this post, I catapulted myself on Flickr, and I spent the last few days watching tons of old photos every time I had a free minute. Apart from the fact that now I hate my straight hair more than ever (after seeing all these beautifully wavy ladies), and I deeply wish (more deeply than usual, I mean) I was born 50 years ago... I enjoyed it a lot, really! I wish I knew that Flicr holded such a treasure long ago! <br />Thanks!PaperDollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963087587840899295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50991391030509712642009-09-02T01:51:13.165-07:002009-09-02T01:51:13.165-07:00@ Chrisy, thank you very much! Indeed I truly do w...@ Chrisy, thank you very much! Indeed I truly do wish I could travel back in time. I want to experience firsthand the similarities and difference between then and now. I have hundreds of questions about the past (granted many of them have to do with fashion and hairstyles!) that I would love to ask women during the actual 1940s and 50s. <br /><br />@ kathie, you're very sweet, thank you so much for the lovely comment!<br /><br />@ Dustjacket Attic, you're welcome, sweet soul, thank you in turn for your wonderful comments. I wish I had that car, too! If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying a pink 50s car for sure!<br /><br />@ AlicePleasance, terrific observation, honey. I absolutely love that about photos from the past, too. I wish the commonplace wearing of hats and gloves would come back. We definitely should wear those same pieces today, I agree.<br /><br />@ marb, that's really precious! I don't recall any complete matchy-matchy outfits, but one time my mom did make absolutely lovely floral print aprons for my sister, me, and herself. So cute!<br /><br />@ Kelly Anne & Maggi, that sounds like a wonderful hairstyling experience, Kelly Anne! Hair salons still exist but they are a far cry from the communal gathering spots they once were. I wish such spots would become a mainstay again!<br /><br />@ Pink Flower, it really is, my dear, I agree. Both beautiful and eerie, it speaks to the viewer on many levels and was, I think, a wonderfully composed shot.<br /><br />@ Some Like it Vintage, I've noticed that, too! People definitely had stress back then, too (WW2, for example), but I think that on a day-to-day level they had less stress. <br /><br />@ PaperDoll, very true observation, a lot of vintage photos do look staged or at least a bit posed. In a sense the same has always been true of people and photos, but we have got a bit more into "action shots" in the last couple of decades. I'm always on the prowl for "in the moment" vintage shots and hope to share those that I do find as part of this weekly post.<br /><br />@ the freelancer's fashionblog, I agree, so very cute!<br /><br />@ AbleGrable, thank you very much, sweet dear!<br /><br />@ Keith, thank you so much, my friend!<br /><br />@ Halloween spirit, thank you, honey! I'm truly looking forward to posting many more editions of Saturday Snapshots :)<br /><br />@ Marie Reed, You're very kind, thank you so much!<br /><br />@ Greetz from Tiz, thank you, darling! I get very nostalgic over old photos too, but almost always in a wonderful, positive way. I feel happy that these photos still exist to help immortalize my favourite period in human history (mid-twentieth century).<br /><br />@ hannah, thank you, sweet dear! The past does look like so much fun! Less stress, more time spent with friends and loved ones - plus amazing fashions! :)<br /><br />@ aramblingfancy, I think the little guy in the father's arms looks the least impressed to be posing for a shot - maybe he wanted an outfit in the same fabric, too! ;D<br /><br />Thank you each very much for your fantastic comments! It is a sincere joy to share in our mutual love of vintage photos together.<br /><br />Oodles of hugs, everyone!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-26095319491544456252009-09-01T19:57:42.033-07:002009-09-01T19:57:42.033-07:00I adore these.

The 50's photos are so vibrant and beautiful, but you're right, there is something about that 30's shot of a woman walking alone in NY that catches you. I especially wish there were still beauty parlours. When I went home last time my mom's hairdresser (and one of her best friends) gave me a great haircut, put velcro rollers in and put me under their one bonnet hairdrier. It was great.Kelley Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-88257572058880055522009-08-30T01:30:56.427-07:002009-08-30T01:30:56.427-07:00my mom used to make clothes for her and the same f...my mom used to make clothes for her and the same for me!!i find it soooo cute!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50187960710578716152009-08-30T01:04:13.269-07:002009-08-30T01:04:13.269-07:00I love them all and I adore the fact that women in...I love them all and I adore the fact that women in the past almost always wore a hat...they were so fashionable and classy, we should do it today too.
