1960s family memories
There is something about the 1960s that gets me every time. It was a tumultuous decade, but it sure had style. Check out the below photos and see if you don't agree...
Fancy updos....
Shift dresses and atomic George Nelson-inspired clocks...
Aluminum Christmas trees, smoking in the house (!) and slim suits...
A time when you couldn't delete the outtakes...
Sweater sets and red lipstick for daytime...
Wood paneling. This was taken around 1960, so the 1950s influences were still very noticeable. Love it though!

My great-aunt Betty (Joan's older sister) pouring tea to go with the fruit cake. I love the Christmas table decor. I have those birds in my dining room!
