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!
Sugar Plum Christmas Cards
December -- the entire year actually -- has been a blur. As we try to make sense of the very first year of Gerald & Joan, we wanted to share a few of our latest projects. This Christmas card was custom designed for my sister-in-law's family. She wanted a flat card with rounded corners, matte finish and a family photo on the front. Beyond that, she didn't have any requests. I hand-drew the "Merry and Bright," and then added the red, green and white "sugar plums" across the front and back. We added just the tiniest filter to the photo to enhance the warm glow of the photo. Everything about this project says happy and blessed -- which is exactly how they are in real life. We were really pleased with the results.
We'll be back on Wednesday with their youngest daughter's birth announcements! :)
