I am obsessed with vintage beach photographs! These happen to be of my granny. I know people had troubles back then, but when I look at these photos , their world seems so magical and carefree!
Here are some more photos I posted of her last summer (scroll to end of page to see them all). And a few more on my Flickr, if you care to have a gander.

I love these. I wish I had more of my family. Have you noticed how everyone looks so happy in vintage photos?

Do you know about Shorpy.com? They post old pictures daily, and frequently feature shots of Potomac beaches in the 1920s.
I just love the swimsuits 🙂 Even now I’m always drawn to vintage-inspired cuts.

You are super lucky to have so many old pictures of your family! I love photos and have always wished we had more vintage pictures of my parents and grandparents when they were younger. No dice though. I love looked over your flickr set though. There is something especially charming about vintage photos. They really do look carefree- they are just having a good time. That’s always something that is fun to see.
