good old summertime

PawPaw (my grandfather) and my dad fishing, 1950s.

Happy Independence Day to all the Americans celebrating!  My grandfather (above) would have been 111 years old today.    

Here's a little vintage summer fashion parade, courtesy my old family photos.

(And don't forget, the summer sale continues through midnight tonight with 20% off everything in the Etsy shop!)



My grandmother Edna, 1950s.



My grandmother Marian and my mom, late 1940s.




My mom (holding puppy) and lots of cousins, early 1950s.


Grandma Edna with my Dad, practicing sun protection, early 1940s.




My Tante (great aunt) Bernice and great uncle Charlie (rocking the Hawaiian shirt), holding babies Chuck and Ann, early 1950s.


Summer dudes.  My grandfather (with pipe and boater) and a couple uncles, 1940s.

Summer gals.  Grandma Edna holding my dad.  1940s.


Edna in the water, circa 1930s.  I sincerely hope that dress wasn't rayon crepe!



Double exposure photo with my dad (striped t-shirt) and my grandfather in it twice--in his swim trunks and his street clothes!
