Throwback Thursday, Holiday Edition

This doesn't look posed, does it? My mom is still pissed that she had to wear those pajamas. All she wanted was a nightgown!

Grandma had awesome style in the 1960's! I would move right in there! Curved sofa?? Swoon!

The next several days will be spent baking more cookies than I can count and attending Christmas celebrations. I just wanted to share some holiday photos for Throwback Thursday and wish you all the Merriest of Christmases!

Vintage Winter Throwback Thursday

It finally got cold here in Ohio. It was in the 60's until recently and did not feel at all like December in the Midwest. Today I want to share some retro winter pictures of what I want most for Christmas....

SNOW!

My Mom in the 1960's 

 I think this is my Aunt & Uncle. Grandpa has been known to pull their sled with his car. Surprisingly, everyone survived and now he's dancing "Gangnam Style"

For good measure, I included a picture of me. Pretty sure I would be like the little brother in A Christmas Story if someone pushed me over in that getup!

Is anyone else dying for a winter wonderland or is it just me?

Thanksgiving Thursday Throwback

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I'm thankful for a day with family, friends, and food! I'm also thankful for vintage and old family photos!

I really wish that dining set had stayed in the family!

Have a great day, everyone! What are you thankful for?

Retro Halloween

It's not a secret that I'm not a huge fan of Halloween. It's just not my thing. Since vintage is my thing, I thought I'd post some retro Halloween photos for Throwback Thursday. These are pictures of my one of the Halloween parties that my Mom's family threw in the 1960's. The costumes are kind of weird. I don't know if that's just how costumes were back then or if my family was extra quirky....

The furniture!

Do I spy a Pyrex bowl?

Best curtains EVER!

Are you dying over the furniture like I am?? I SO wish my Grandma had hung on to some (all) of it! And those curtains!!! I die. Seriously!

Happy Thursday and welcome to November! Bring on the Christmas music and pass the egg nog!

Vintage Dress + Family Tradition

I thought I'd do a little "Throwback Thursday" on the blog today and share a family tradition. It all started with a sweet yellow dress that was bought for my Mom when she was a baby. My Grandma loved the dress so much that my Aunt wore it when she came along nearly 8 years later.

My Grandma doesn't hold to ANYTHING. She's very "Out with the old and in with the new!" Miraculously, she kept this dress for her granddaughters to wear someday.

My cousin's baby, Rikki, recently became the 10th baby in our family to have her portrait taken while wearing the dress.

My Mom's really into digital scrapbooking and she makes beautiful pages like the one below.

Do you have a family tradition that you look forward too? Have you started any new traditions? I'd love to hear about it! Thanks for reading!
