Vintage Summer Thingies
Most of the items I share for Vintage Thingies Thursday come from my father and his bottomless basement, as you know. But a few things have been my mother's, specifically the jewelry and fashion items. This week I am sharing some of her more summery contributions to my vintage treasure box.
Mom has many hats from the 1960s, but this is the most summery, with the daisies all over it.
I love the texture of this starfish pin. It's two-toned metal is a nice touch.
I'm not a strawberry fan for eating, but I absolutely love this pin! It's only missing a few stones, which isn't noticeable when it's being worn.
And here's the vintage fashion plate herself, circa 1962, the year she and my dad were engaged!

Great stuff! My favorite is the photo of your mom!
ReplyDeleteThat is a truly wonderful tribute to your mother. I loved all the pins, and that picture is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThat hat is really something! Your mother must have really likes that hat to have kept it so long.
ReplyDeleteThe starfish pin is my pick. I'm happy for you to have such a special mom.

Terrific hat and pins! Love the photo of your Mom...a pin-up circa 1962!

Oh my gosh, love that hat! So much fun! And that swimsuit brings back so many summer memories of my mom taking us to the beach. Thanks for taking me back to the sixties and all the sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT,

An excellent tribute to your mom and the good old days. I love the swimsuit photo and daisy hat best. Happy VTT.
ReplyDeleteAll of the things from your Mom are cute, especially the hat. Your Mom sure looked pretty in that photo. Happy VTT
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, I love your post today. Summer vintage is great fun and I admire all of it. The hat is pretty and the pins adorable. You don't eat strawberries??? I love them. The pin is so sweet. I really enjoyed seeing your pretty mom in her cheesecake photo. I was married in 1963 at 23 years old. I bet we are close in age.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT day to you.
Hugs, Jeanne
First of all the name of your blog is off the chain...love it. Your vintage thingies are lovely. ♣olive
