old time romance.

apparently it was a thing back then to hang from various windows in order to snag a kiss 
before heading off to war.  how sweet and fun are these photos?


i hope your day is full of love!

ps - later today i'll be over at brandi's blog, not your average ordinary, sharing one of my favorite corners of LA.  take a stroll on over and check it out!

    I want to frame all of these and create a collage of old fashioned romance on my wall :) So sweet. Also, that guy on the left in that first picture is totally looking up the girl's skirt. Don't you think? lol

    So so so cute! Makes me wish I was near the husband to give him a big kiss on the lips. I emailed him yesterday and said, "When I see you in a month you better be wearing your kissing lips!"

    I love them, but they make me sad to look at. I can't help but wonder how many of these couples in love made it back to one another...

    The emotion in this pictures is so raw and romantic {plus, that guy in that first picture is HOT ... I mean, how could one not notice those arms :)}. GREAT round-up!

    CUTE! I love looking at old vintage photographs like this! That first one is hilarious (everyone lifting that girl up to the window so she could kiss her man :).

    Seeing one warms my heart.. seeing many shocks me.. You're right, there was definitely a trend of unbridled passion for a supposed conservative time. This is yummy, crazy love.. I love it!

    They're just so...lovely aren't they? is it that they just don't make romance the way they used to, or we can't make it the way they used to.
