I love ALL pik sharing threads! How about some from our childhoods? Is this Don & Peggy Draper from "Mad Men?" I LOVE these piks of my parents with my older sis & bro!! My Mom (So Glam!!).--/Quintessential 60's ---cigarette and (probably a cocktail ?), and she smoked all 4 pregnancies......UNheard of and HORRIBLE now!!!! I was born 2 years or so after this pik---I was her biggest baby---11 pounds !!!, ! -------which only reinforced her belief that smoking caused low birth weight.... Anyhooooo....they were adorable! f

So, in order to put an old photo on here I'd first need to take a photo of it, then put it on Photobucket or someplace like that, then put it here? oy... A tall order for us Dinosaurs. I'll give it my best shot though. lol

As a Christmas surprise one year, my mom and dad passed down their old double bed to me. My mom and grandmother then secretly sewed a matching bedspread, dressing table cover and curtains out of flowered fabric I thought was soooo beautiful. The part I love the most is that they made me and my sister matching dresses out of the leftover fabric. I was a big fan of "The Sound of Music", so I thought it was cool and would sing along with the album while wearing my special dress. My sister and I also used to lie on my bed "camouflaging" and pretending no one could see us. Here I am reading what I believe is an old book of Grimm's fairy tales with some other presents in my big bed with me

Pretty sure I have shared this one before, but it reminds me of just how groovy I was right from childhood, haha. My mom nurtured my free spirit and sense of individuality by letting me dress in whatever I wanted and I thank her to this day for that. I believe that is what etched being "comfortable in my own skin" or in this case clothes, into my personality. Enjoy...

I think I had the cat too! But the one I recall the most is my bunny from Avon, with the same perfume. I was trying to describe it and Avon to my 19yo daughter yesterday afternoon

Your Dad's haircuts look far better than any of my Mom's haircuts or slaughters. My bangs always looked like a map that took too many detours. I can't even begin imagining my Dad ever attempting a haircut other than the boys buzz cuts and those were an atrocity. You look very cute.

I was ticked off to find out I couldn't go to the honeymoon. I'd never been to a honeymoon and really wanted to go.

Oooooh I LOVE photo threads, and especially these ones with old photos! Loving all the photos so far. @gajenny, I had one of those brooches with the creme perfume inside too, fun memory! The only old photo I could find on Photobucket was this one of my first birthday party. I'm the one in pink on the far right. LOVING the kitchen wallpaper!!

My sister and I at our Grandparents' home in the country near Thunder Bay, Ontario. My mom always twinned us out, lol. I'm on the left. My Mom did that too - weirdly only "twinned". So I (oldest) would match my middle sister for a while, and then it would pass down and the younger two would match. I guess it worked for the hand me down thing of the 70's, everything got a lot of wear. This is me with my sisters, circa 1975. I'm the tall dorky looking one in the back, in my most favorite dress in kindergarten. I think our haircuts were from our Grandpa.
