On Sunday, August 19th I will be attending The 7th Annual Jazz Age Lawn Party which will give me an opportunity to make a dream of mine come true. Does anyone have a crush on the 1930's? I mean a deep, long-standing head over heels, mad crush?? I am sure my hand is not the only one that is up right now hehehe
I have been longing to learn more about the 1930's and longing even more to dress the part. So I decided to dedicate this week to the 1930's. My hope is that we all learn a little something more about this decade in history.

Great post, my chemistry teacher played a tape of the original War of the Worlds broadcast, it was great. I can see how people would start freaking out!
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! Omg I heard it once too....maybe I will post it on my fb page. Its so darn eeire!! xox
DeleteI love how you added the historical timeline of the world events and not just US realted. I've always been pretty interested in WWII/Nazi Germany Holocaust studies and so I'm glad to see this reminder. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteBtw- My family {on Mom's side} have been thought to been German Jews who immigrated from Germany in the 1840s. Germany has always been pretty anti-Semitic.
Thanks Sean! Its all so interesting- I def want to read up more on it!! xox
DeleteI was just looking at images of this event a few weeks ago. I am sure it will give you an opportunity to dress up. I saw some pictures of the dresses some of the women were wearing. Fabulous! There are not too many things like this in the NY area so I am sure it will be awesome:
ReplyDeleteYou have noticed too right? Not a lot of stuff here-I don't know why!!?? I wish you were going!! xox
DeleteI may be going myself! Perhaps I'll see you. It'd be great to say hi in person.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I hope so too! How neat! We must take lots of pics!! hehe xox
DeleteI've always felt a deeply rooted kinship to the 1930s, as my beloved maternal grandma, Bernice, was born in 1930 and often shared childhood stories of her earliest memories with me when I was growing up. Living far (!) up north in Dawson City, Yukon, her family and most of the community were spared some of the harsher effects of the Great Depression, but nevertheless, they endured and persevered certain aspects right along with the rest of country (and world).
ReplyDeleteThough the 30s are not an era I frequently dress from, they will always be one whose history has left a permanent mark on my heart and life.

I know what you mean. My grandma was born in the 20s so she would tell me a few stories of her childhood in the 1930s which included her first film, "Gone with the wind"!! Grandmas rock don't you think? xox
