I don't normally post other's photographs ... but I have to make an exception for this series. Simply called Album 1935 - 1944 and it's unwaveringly my favorite thing on flickr. Pretty floral couches. Sleeping pups in baskets. Floaty 30s dresses. Vacation adventures (including knitting fingers) and sunny day record-listening afternoons. I want this life!

These remind me of my grandmother's photos....I must scan an upload. They are superb. THanks!

Oh, why can't we all just rent a U-Haul and drive back to those days of piggyback rides, knitting, and really cute cats?
It would be lovely to have a picnic in those photos.
I cannot pick which one is my favorite!!!! They are all soooo wonderful!!! (maybe the cats...or the gal with the telescope thingy)

Wow. I nearly squealed as I actually live very near Whipsnade (home to one of Englands best zoos) I love these so much- even more so because they feel so close to home. x
