1920′s Lady and Dog Casting a Shadow in Michigan

This photo came from a batch of photographs from Michigan that date from the early 1900′s until the 1940′s. 

Based upon the clothing, and hair, my guess is the photo was taken in the 1920′s. 

Who was she? I have no idea.  But, I like her face, and I think the dog is fierce looking. 

Do you think she was a “flapper” with her short hair and short skirt?

The Photo Friday challenge is “pristine.”

The closest I could come to was the absolute complete opposite.

Pan Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915 – Indiana State Building

7/24/15

Mabel and I came out to the Fair for this.  M. Roosevelt is here – big crowd but not unusual.  I am not even crossing the street to see him! Would rather write some Postcards to my friends.  This ___ a building is no credit to the State, cheap looking – English architecture – supposed to cost near 75,000.00 — a house!!   Democratic management.  I am very well.  May be home soon — Your Aunt Anna.

1912 – Happy Birthday Wishes For You or Morton Salt’s “When It Rains it Pours”

This card is canceled on the front, but its kind of hard to read the exact date (June 5, XXXX).  There is no message on the other side, and was another card mailed to Bertha Dicus.  Based on the other cards that were with this one, I’m saying early 1900′s (plus the card itself is dated 1912 in the lower left corner).

Sharing this with you all because it reminds me of Spring Showers!  Which we have had enough of over the last few weeks.  The graphic also reminds me of the Morton Salt Girl – When it Rains it Pours!

Official Souvenir Post Card – September 22, 1904 – World’s Fair – St. Louis

Just How Long Is A Hiatus Anyway?

I can’t believe I shut this blog down for almost a complete year!  And, now that its back, I plan to share even more photos and postcards.  I can’t guarantee that I’ll be posting something every day, but I’ll try to keep things interesting.

I have a boat-load of vintage Florida postcards that I’m getting ready to scan and share, along with some more photos.

So, stop back by, or feel free to rummage through the archives for a photo or card.  If you copy, download, or use any of these images on your website in any way, please make sure to give credit to me and link to Daily Vintage Square.  Or, be prepared for the consequences!

This post will stay static for a few days or so.  Scroll down for some new stuff!

Taking a Short Hiatus …
