The Wonder Years

Watching the atom bomb test...


When it rains, it pours...


Will you buy me a Dior dress?
My love of handbags developed early...


We are the goon squad and we're coming to town, BEEP BEEP!


Caught in the act of looking up Barbie's dress?



If the glove does not fit, you must acquit!

  2. Love that expression with your Barbie! The loss of a parent is a time of very deep memory, and I hope some are as sweet as these photos.

  10. Such cute pics! Looking at them makes me want to dig out of some of mine that are similar...my mom recently gave me some photo albums from when I was a kid and I am sure I've got some cute dress ones in there too, same era!
    And you and I have the same blonde ponytail Barbie! And the same dress for her, it came with a purse with fruit attached and a big wide straw hat! I still have the Barbie and the dress and the hat in my Barbie and Midge red case!! Lots of fun playing with Barbie, back in the early 60's!

  14. I just had to admit that I had a dress nearly identical to the one in the 'love of handbags' photo, only it was red.

    I wore it for my first grad picture day.

    Great photos!

  16. We must be the same age. I have photos of myself in those same sort of dresses at your age. Did you ever wear the Pollyanna hats? After that movie all the little girls here wore them. Flat white straw hats with a long ribbon.

  18. Wow - what great clothes you had as a kid - you'd be horrified by mine - my parents do not believe in nice clothes (probably why I do the job I do today!).

  21. OMG how precieuse! Were you seriously watching the ABomb test???Check out daddy's ride in the back!!!

    Laughing at "the glove/acquit" line!

  22. All - glad you enjoyed these.

    Lady Jicky - I remember "Pollyanna" but in California during those years I can't remember seeing anyone wearing hats, not even for Sunday dress-up. I did have a Dan'l Boone faux coonskin cap (with tail!) though. No pics of that one that I've found yet.

  23. Karen - no I really wasn't watching an atom bomb test.
    ;-D

  24. So cute, with your little white gloves!
    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow, I swear I had those same dresses with the scratchy petticoats that drove me crazy. And the glove, and the purses, and the Barbie dolls. Check, check, and check.
