Hello Vikki, It's nice to know that somewhere in a corner in the world, people still find time to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. Here from where I live in the Philippines, a recent event (massacre) that killed at least 22 journalists is what we grieve in. The world has condemned this cruel act on media people but still, I wanted to thank God that I and all of my loved ones were not part of those people killed for political greed. - Ana
From one Rebekah to a Rebecca--congrats on making blogs of note! I'm happy to find your spot on the web, as I *love* all things vintage! Looking forward to checking out your Etsy site, too.
I stumbled upon your blog and I love it! I just created my own, if you get a chance I'd love for you to check it out! www.antiquatedtreasures.blogspot.com
I love Thanksgiving is the time of the year I love, on the other hand these images reminded me the perfect moments my relatives and I spend during that time.m10m
This blog features vintage advertising campaigns and fashion editorials from Black/African-American publications, video clips and found photographs featuring people of color from the 1950s-1960s, as well as product descriptions and pictures of vintage pieces I have for sale at my etsy.com shop.
Among the items available for purchase will be dresses, skirts, cardigans, shoes, bags, jewelry, and occasionally hats from the 1950s-1960s or fashioned in the style of that era.
I've loved vintage fashion for some time (and traditional jazz and pop standards, old movies, Doris Day, et al), and did lots of research before deciding to open a vintage etsy shop and start this blog, because I wanted to do it right. Something I noticed during my research, something that helped me to cement my decision, was the lack of women of color in the online vintage community.
So, not only will I be selling vintage clothing, but the pictures I post here, of beautiful women of color from the 1950s and 1960s, will give some idea of what we truly wore then.
My great grandmother, Essie O'Neal, and her brother, Norris Reed, Sr in the late 1940s.
More pictures of my family in the 1940s - 1980s HERE and HERE.
congrats for being one of the blog note.
