1954 Ebony mag + Pyrex

I've got a 1954 issue of Ebony magazine on the way. Turns out my dad has it, it's in really good shape, and originally belonged to my Great Grandfather Joe Petty. The online archives don't go back that far, so I'm excited to get my hands on this rarity!



Whenever it gets here, I'll post all the amazing pictures it's sure to contain!


Also, I was reading the back posts and archives at Thriftaholic and was in awe of the Pyrex kitchenware. I've seen similar peices to the ones posted there at thrift stores so I did a little research on Pyrexlove.com to memorize authentic prints and colorways.

But, to my surprise, once I was done with the research, I walk into my kitchen and what do I see in the dishrack? A Cornell Corningware Pyrex Butterfly Gold cereal bowl. My grandma brought some food over in it and I completely forgot it was here!

She has she might have more pieces with the same print, and I'll definitely keep a keen eye out to complete the set. (pics soon)

1950s photos!

Posted on 7:35 AM by feeqwfqewef

I may be my local library's number one patron... especially because these days I'm checking out more than novels, anthologies, and essays and have progressed to photography collections.

The pictures in this post are from Introduction to African American Photographs: 1840-1950 - Identification, Research, Care, & Collecting by Ross J. Kelbaugh and Black Style edited by Carol Tulloch.



Neither of these books were particularly fruitful when searching them for examples of Black fashion in the 1960s, but together, they produced five great 1950s photographs.

The two photos above are from Introduction, which was quite informative. If I ever find tangible vintage African American photographs, I'll have to reacquaint myself with Kelbaugh's book for dating and identification.




The editing in Black Style was a bit lacklucker, as you may have detected from the three captions above, and the content was scattered and aimless, but I can tell it's the kind of book that was probably an assignment for the editor among many similar and dissimilar photo compilations. That said, anytime I find great pictures like the ones in this post, it was time well spent!

Vintage undies from 1951 & 1960

This post is especially for A Slip of a Girl. She and her friends at Here's Looking Like You, Kid and Kitschy Kitschy Coo have generously linked to and posted about this blog and their warm emails were very encourage.

So, in that vein, vintage undergarments! (A Slip of a Girl is a blog dedicated to vintage lingerie.)



Most of these photos are from 1960. The one above is from 1951.












I've got 40+ more vintage 1960s lingerie photos I'll be posting in the near future!
