(My favourite picture :) I think my Nanny looks stunning! :D)A box of photos under the stairs seems to contain so many memories of people from different times...
For the past week now I've been wanting to look at a large box of photos that we keep under the stairs of my mum's family. The box is crammed full of pictures of my family and their friends. So finally today my Dad said I could get them out from under the stairs.
I find the pictures so interesting to think that they would have been taken about 80 years ago! Its interesting to think what stories they have behind them.
I've placed some of my favourite pictures here:
This is a photo of my Great Auntie Joyce. Her little outfit is definitely a child's 1920s dress. I think she looks so sweet and adorable! Her hair looks beautiful! :)
This is one of my mum's least favourite outfits! When I first saw this I creased up! Bless her, she had to wear this for a dance show and she always tells me that her beak was made out of a duster! (Hehe :D)
Its amazing how nurses uniforms have changed during history. This picture is of one of my Great Grandmothers friends during the First World War. There appears to be a lot more of a uniform than there does today.
I was very impressed when I found out that my Great Grandad's cousin was a famous English Cricket player called Headly Verity :) My mum was flicking through the paper the other day and actually spotted an article of him in the 'Daily Mail' :D
This picture shows my Dad's dad (my Grandpa) in the Navy during World War 2. He looks so young. Not much older than myself I would imagine! Its so strange to think people of my age would have been fighting in the war! :o So brave!

I just love this picture of my Great auntie Joyce and my Nanny Jean! They look so sweet and happy and the fact that they are wearing matching outfits makes this photo even cuter!
(Nanny jean and Grandad Reg) It is quite difficult to see in this picture but the detail on my nanny's dress is GORGEOUS! It is covered with floral print. I seriously want this dress! :)
I just love the way that my Nana is wearing her hair in this photograph! I really would love to be able to do my hair in this style!
Also in this box of photographs I found this rather unique postcard which had been posted from France during the war. On the back of the card it wishes the receiver a Happy Christmas- 'Try not to eat too much' I love the detail of this picture and the bright hat that has been placed on top of the woman's head. Paris fashion cards are exquisite!
My mum said that she loved this dress when she was a little girl! She loved the fact that it was turquoise and pink. This photo was taken at her Dad's Christmas party :)
