Love so much these lovely pictures of my mother when she was a young girl. Amazing that these pictures reveals the 1930s decade.

  1. Oh, how I love your old pictures...! These are GREAT, Sonia....looking at the clothes, particularly the bathing suits, is utterly fascinating. there is something almost contemporary about them---Very stylish!!! I cannot get over how good these pictures are---considering when they were taken...They are really AMAZING! Your mother looks so very very sweet.

  4. I wonder, which is your favorite picture of your mom? I think, through your words, you very much resemble her in the last one.

  5. I am enjoying the group shots because the girls all look like they're aware of the camera. Where as the boys are clowns.

    My favorite may be the one where your mother's holding a camera. She had an interest in such things early.

  10. I wish we had nice long skirts on our bathing suits these days like they did back then!
    They would hide a multitude of sins!
