Over at Inspiration Avenue this week, Maggie proposed that we create something that was reminiscent of the 1950's and 60's. "Retro" and "Mid-Century" are two adjectives that take me back to my childhood. I can hardly believe that my favorite songs while growing up are now "Oldies." That just seems wrong to me! Still, there's no denying it. I was born during that time. Even though my favorite toys are now considered vintage, I am glad that I'm not an antique yet! (Or am I?)
I started with a cute little picture of little girls posing at the beach (above) and then found some great advertisements and pin up girls in swim suits. It evolved into a collage filled with images that reference those years for me. The cute little girls never made it into the finished collage. I hope this taps a few memories for you. (Of course there's a mermaid! How could I leave her out?)

I hope you'll pop over to IA to see the other retro images. Here's the link. Retro Time Machine
"it's summer somewhere" - reminds me of "it's five o'clock somewhere" I hear so often. I think I like the summer better though!
ReplyDeleteI had to look a bit to find the mermaid...she's quite preoccupied with her handsome dates (who wouldn't be?). Now I see there are actually 2 mermaids, one is shy and the other one not so much... I love the "endless summer" theme ~ your beach babes are gorgeous and having so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your beach images, so full of sunshine!
